Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

As part of my job with the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce outside Atlanta, Georgia, I've been taking groups ranging from 30-80 people out of the country for leisure travel for 15 years. I recently took 30 people on a 7 day trip to Ireland. We stayed in Dublin but traveled to the Cliffs of Moher, Giants Causeway and Belfast, not to mention several great restaurants (Matt the Thresher, Mr. Fox and Celtic Nights Dinner/Show), all with Your Irish Tour. Val O'Brien and his company, Your Irish Tour, is by far the best company I've worked with regarding tour recommendations & execution, as well as booking the best restaurants, and still meeting my budget requirements. He's from Ireland, he's been in the industry for years, and he has the knowledge, grace and patience to make everyone in the group feel welcomed. Val has heart and a passion for Ireland, and it is on full display on his tours. He was able to keep everyone in our group entertained and happy, and that's hard to do in any setting. I would recommend him to anyone traveling to Ireland, whether you are looking for a personal or group tour guide. It is truly an experience you'll remember.

Being with Val would make any tour fun! Our last visit to Dublin was forty years ago, so Val suggested a sightseeing drive around the city and South Dublin before heading towards the Wicklow mountains to see the countryside. His running commentary was both informative and hugely entertaining; and he was as interested in our background and lives as we were in his. Our goal: seeing some lovely views; having lunch in a typical village restaurant; taking a picturesque walk around a historic site, in in this case, the monastery ruins in Glendalough; and then a comfortable drive back to our ship in Dublin. Done - in spades! Highly recommended!!!

Your Irish Tour means YOUR Irish tour. Val accommodates plan/tour changes according to desire and traffic. He’s funny, he matches your loud rambunctious nature with his own, he sings. You will not have a better tour experience. I’ve been to over 18 different countries, this was by far the best tour experience I’ve ever had. Val is a certified Irish treasure.

We had a lovely 5 day tour of Ireland and Val was an excellent guide. I'd strongly recommend that anyone looking to tour Ireland goes with Your Irish Tour.

Learning the history of Ireland from a passionate (and funny!) guide brought the beautiful landscape to life and made for a very pleasant trip.

We were faced with dense fog at the Cliffs of Moher and he even had a creative way for us to still see them in all their glory.

He kept us out of "tourist trap" pubs and recommended excellent places for us. We had delicous meals the entire trip and were quite surprised at how tasty the local Irish food is! Cheers Val, until next time!

With deep deep regret we had to cancel our trip on our end our trip planning due to unforeseen health issues with one of the members of the trip we were taking. However, I have to say that Val was just magnificent helping us get everything together for our trip. From accommodating to our itinerary and helping us plan ours, by making recommendations both of eateries as well as things to do, and overall being extremely understand of everything we provided for information. I think when you are planning with someone who is a complete stranger this is what we all want to experience. We want someone honest, reliable, dependable, and patient. I think if we get along so well at a distance imagine spending a few days touring this beautiful country with these individuals. I plan on making this trip a reality in future very near, for now, we will certainly remain in touch and recommending that everyone plans their trip with this beautiful team.

Where to even begin! Val is truly a gem of a human! From our first interactions emailing with him on what we were looking for to the minute he picked us up, we knew we were in good hands. He helped customize our two day tour while sprinkling some places we would never have thought to go see, and it was truly amazing. We learned a lot on Irish history from Val himself, while also sharing so many laughs along the way. We were comfortable, felt safe and never felt rushed, which only added even more to the experience. Book Val today — you honestly won’t regret! This was my first visit to Ireland, and it was made even more memorable because of Val — thanks friend and can’t wait to see you again soon!

There is now a new Irish Legend, and his name is Val! Within 5 minutes of the tour, our group had felt like we’d know him all of our lives. Val was extremely knowledgeable, personable, flexible, hysterical, and every other positive adjective you can think of! He accommodated us in every way you could imagine, all while being his truly funny, easy going, and relatable self. I cannot recommend Val and Your Irish Tour enough. Our only issue was that we only had the opportunity to spend two days with this absolute gem of a human! We can’t wait to come back to visit Ireland again, and Val is a big reason why!

Great trip with our tour guide-driver Val@YourIrishTour.
The man is the consummate guide. In addition to his vast
knowledge(and humor)of Irish history, he knows how to navigate
crowded sites to minimize wasting time in long lines.
He was also very attentive to our requests and was able to adjust
our itinerary along the way. I would high recommend Val's services!!

Wow! We struck gold having Val as our tour guide for 4 days! From Dublin to Cork to Dingle to Galway and all the cities in between, Val treated our group of 10 like his own family. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything and experienced the true Irish hospitality. I would book another tour with Val again! Thank you Val for the wonderful memories and your hospitality!
