From the initial contact with Éamonn and throughout our entire trip, it was an absolutely exceptional experience. Éamonn picked us up at the airport and within a couple of hours we were on a personal tour at a whiskey distillery, which was perfect because that was the focus of our trip.

We spent 9 days with Éamonn traveling through the Irish countryside, with a focus on visiting distilleries and seeing as much of the country as we could. We also had a bonus day in Dublin, visiting some sites as well as another distillery (of course).

We started corresponding about four months before our trip, bouncing ideas back and forth, and defined an itinerary. In spite of covid restrictions in Ireland, we were able to keep to that itinerary and even add some more sites and stops.

Throughout the experience, Éamonn demonstrated his work ethic and genuine desire to let us learn and experience as much of Ireland as possible. He made countless phone calls to request access to whiskey tastings, found us great places to eat, and recommended wonderful hotels and beautiful castles to stay in.

I cannot recommend Éamonn's tours enough. He is a great human being; fun to talk to, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, energetic, and such a positive person. He has countless contacts around the country and will do his to deliver what you are looking for in a tour.

Hi Jane, Thanks a million for the fantastic detailed review and thanks again for putting your trust in me for your 9 day tour of Ireland. We made some great memories and had plenty of fun as we dug out some uniqueness whiskey experiences in Ireland! Cheers! Éamonn

We did 4 days of tours with Eamonn since we have a large family! Eamonn fully customized multiple days including tours of Dublin, Wicklow (where we got to see an epic sheep dog demo), The Cliffs of Moher, and the South West of Ireland.

He was able to show us hidden gems and while Guiness is a self guided tour Eamonn took such care in adding to the experience. I don't think we would have seen half of the the things we did on this trip thanks to Eamonn.

Eamonn was so fun, taught us so much about Irish culture and history. He really has an incredible knack for making even long drives very fun. He's got so many local connections that had us at the best table in a restaurant with complimentary champagne and oysters.

His vehicle is spacious (we fit the bags for 7 people comfortably) and safe. The music is fun. And Eamonn is like a family member - he was quick with a joke, a great lunch partner, and our 17 month old loved the music he played and all the attention.

We have done private tour vehicles in multiple countries and Eamonn by far blows them all out of the water. He is truly a master at showing off all the history, charm, and beauty Ireland has to offer. If you book with Eamonn you won't be disappointed.

After spending a week traveling with Eamonn, I can wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend booking a trip with him! We started in Dublin, went west to Galway, down to Killarney, up through Kinsale and to Wicklow before returning for a few more days in Dublin.
Eamonn loves Ireland and is a wealth of information about a vast array of sites. He made Ireland come alive and I left feeling like I truly learned about Ireland today and the history that is behind the culture.
He not only knows about Irish history, but he knows all the best pubs, where to get the best Guinness, which whiskey tour to take, and shared with us the nation’s love of football (what we Americans call soccer!).
Eamonn is an excellent driver, his van is clean and comfortable, we always felt very safe in his care.
I don’t often write reviews but felt inspired to do so because Eamonn was such an exceptional guide who had me wanting to plan my next visit to Ireland before I even left!

Eamonn was a fantastic guide and host. We took a day trip to Belfast with a few stops in Dublin. In Belfast Eamonn had arranged a great local guide and set up a time for lunch at the Crown pub, one of Belfast’s most famous pubs. When we returned to Dublin he had reserved us a spot at a great local place with live music for dinner. It was everyone’s favorite part of our 5 day trip to Ireland. Eamonn is a great guide and story teller and kept it fun and informative. Thanks for some great memories.

I had high hopes after reading so many positive reviews of Eamonn, and yet my expectations were still exceeded. Our day trip with Eamonn was incredible and will be one of our very best memories. We learned so much from him and he put us all at ease. He was great at interacting with everyone in our group, age 9 to age 70+, and made sure we got to see everything we wanted, plus had great ideas to suggest. Our itinerary was full yet completely comfortable. If we’re fortunate enough to return to Ireland someday, I’ll be contacting him for another tour as soon as we know our travel dates. He does the extras, like providing water and treats in his spotless vehicle, interspersing Irish music with Irish history and commentary, and promptly providing photos he kindly took of our group and trip throughout the day. He was exceptionally prompt in communicating as I inquired and we scheduled the trip. I’d heard so much about the Irish being friendly, and they can’t get a better ambassador than Eamonn. After spending the day together, I feel like we have a friend in Dublin!
p.s. Our 9-year old was a huge fan of Eamonn and proclaimed him the best tour guide we’ve had!

Our family comprised of myself my husband, our 20 year old son, 23 year old daughter and her 24 year old boyfriend all agree the best part of our trip to Ireland was the time we spent with Eamonn!
My husband found Eamonn through his great recommendations on-line, however we didn’t know what to expect, you just never know how a guide will assimilate with your family. Eamonn is an absolute natural, from the moment he picked our weary group from the airport and totally customized every moment forward based upon our collective interests.
Eamonn is a national treasure! I’m not being dramatic- he truly is. His knowledge base is astounding and he educated our group about the history of Ireland in such an interesting and dynamic way. He puts thought and detail into each excursion from playing the best Irish music on the way to our sheepdog demonstration with Michael to listening to a podcast with our son on the way home from Kilkenny Castle.
In the days we went out on our own, he checked in on us to be sure we were doing well and had reservations. Knowing we had Eamonn as a resource in beautiful Ireland was tremendous but leaving vacation feeling like we had made a lifelong friend was a surprise.

My sister and I just spent a week traveling with Eamonn all over Ireland and it was PERFECT!!

We started in Dublin, went west to Galway, down to Killarney, up through Kinsale, and to Wicklow before saying goodbye in Dublin.

I was impressed with Eamonn's knowledge, organization, safety and reliability. He loves Ireland and is proud to show it. He revealed to us the true fabric of Irish culture and has a captivating way of explaining a vast array of information. The grasp he holds on so many different Irish topics is tremendous, and he has a delightfully engaging way of sharing it. I enjoyed every minute of our time with Eamonn and learned more than I could have dreamed about Irish history, pubs (Guinness!), Gaelic sports, language, and foods of the Irish culture.

Eamonn's driving was flawless and his van with leather seats was comfortable and roomy. My sister and I both felt extremely safe with him from the first mile of our trip to the last.

Eamonn is a true professional private guide who has mastered his craft. I have traveled extensively and understand that knowledge, passion, and effortlessly great people skills are all required in order for a private guide to be excellent. I highly recommend ChaperoneVIP for those looking for a private and comfortable way to travel with a personalized tour guide who is easy to be with and has a contagious way of sharing his love for all things Irish.

Eamonn hosted us (not just drive us around) in a recent 11 day trip throughout Ireland. We had a fully customized itinerary and experienced Ireland in a way that far exceeded our expectations (which were high to begin with). Possibly our best family trip ever. Eamonn was a vital part of the experience. He is super personable, energetic, fun-loving, very knowledgeable and full of insight about local sites, traditions, etc. We are sure to book with Eamonn again on our next trip; and we wholeheartedly recommend him.

We had a wonderful Dublin half day tour with Eamonn. He incorporated culture, history and music throughout, really creating a full experience. Eamonn takes an interest in his guests to provide a custom private tour. In particular, his pride and enthusiasm for Dublin and Ireland was the perfect start to our trip. His vehicle was also immaculate and comfortable. We would recommend Eamonn to anyone.

We booked with Eamonn for a private tour to Belfast and the Giants Causeway from Dublin. We had a Grand day with Eamonn! He is a real gem! We all agreed the day with him was the highlight of our time in Ireland. We had group of four and he made the trip enjoyable for everyone, lots of stories and laughs and we got to go at our own pace, lovely lovely lovely, if we could give him 100 stars we would! We will recommend him to all our family and friends visiting Ireland!
