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.

Val absolutely made our trip! His local knowledge of history, hospitality, fantastic restaurant and bar recommendations, and forte as a true entertainer took our family vacation to the next level. He is an excellent navigator, driver, and host. We had a 6 month old all the way to someone in their 70's and he made the whole family equally comfortable. I cannot recommend him enough.

This is our second trip with Val. He has been and will continue to be family. I am from Ireland and created my own itinerary to show off some off the beaten path places to a group of first time family members and literally without Val it would not have been possible. You can hire a tour operator or your can have an extension of your own family with Val. There is a reason his tours invite him back to wherever they visited from personally, like we did. We love you Val.

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!!!

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!

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.

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!

Excellent personalized private tour visiting Blarney Castle and southwest region of Ireland. Val took us on a grand tour, giving us historical perspectives of the beautiful country of Ireland with humor. Enjoyed his bubbly and friendly personality, We truly had a wonderful short visit of Cork and surrounding area. Wished we also booked him for our next stop in Dublin.

Don't look any further, Val is the person to show you around! He did a great job showing our family his country, he's very knowledgeable and has a fun, easy going personality... His Mercedes Sprinter Van was very nice, clean and it had plenty of room for the family... He picked us up in Shannon, we toured numerous towns/cities over the course of 5 days with him (lots of commentary and fun facts about the history of Ireland along the way) and he dropped us off in Dublin where we enjoyed seeing the Guinness Brewery, the Jamison Distillery and watching the Notre Dame College Football Game! We highly recommend Val and we plan on going back for another tour with him again... Slàinte
