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.

Patrick was a fabulous guide and driver. He was extremely flexible and tuned in to our interests and made a real effort to ensure that all six of us were having an experience that met our expectations. We challenged him often I believe as we were all independent, strong women. He had to deal with some unexpected events and did so with his usual charm. We experienced the sights, did some shopping (well, maybe a more than normal), and learned about the culture through our adventure and from sharing his company. I would highly recommend Patrick for any group as he and his father Pat will adjust to each group's needs.

We had a great 13 day trip around both Ireland and Northern Ireland. Our guide, Patrick, was wonderful in all respects! Knowledgeable, helpful with suggestions on sights, restaurants, etc. Adjusted well to our schedule which included lots of shopping while making sure we saw all the important sights! Would highly recommend him and the company!

My son and I spent 4 days on a golf vacation. Pat Buckley picked us up at Shannon and was with us for the entire trip. We visited Waterville, Old Head, and Killarney, and spent 1/2 a day just sightseeing with Patrick. In addition to being timely, all the time, Patrick helped us with restaurants and pubs, and took us to several breathtaking spots. He couldn’t have been more insightful and knowledgeable, and was just a delight to travel with.
We will use Pat and his son, Patrick (who we’ve used before) every time we visit Ireland. They make a special trip, even more special.

Pat worked with us to customize our tour of the Wild Atlantic Way - from destinations, sites, hotels, restaurants, pubs and entertainment. We made adjustments along the way as you can never predict the Irish weather. He took the stress of driving off me so weI could enjoy the scenery. A great experience and trip!

I would give him six stars if I could. We travelled with my grandchildren almost three years and ten months. Pat couldn't have been more patient with the wee ones, as he called them. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and its history. Every day was a school day.
When I go to Ireland again, he will be my tour guide.

Our tour with Pat was simply amazing. We spent 5 nights between Galway and Killarney. We were traveling with our 2.5 year old and 10 month old and Pat had endless patience and understanding. He accommodated our slower pace and when necessary, was able to change plans on a dime. He made sure we got to see some incredible historical sights and natural attractions while understanding we couldn't do it "all" with the kids and making impeccable judgment calls on what to leave out. This resulted in days that were fun and stimulating without overdoing it. His knowledge of Irish geography, history, and ancestry was wonderful and he made sure we got to visit a pub named for my family name which was a real highlight. I highly recommend Pat and Personal Irish tours. We're still soaking in our week in Ireland planned perfectly by Pat.

We traveled to Ireland at the end of May for 8 nights and had a wonderful time. We spent the first two nights in Dublin and then Patrick picked us up for the next six days for a southern/western tour. Going with Personal Irish Tours was the best move we could have made – we couldn’t have had a better time. He was very knowledgeable and gave us great tips and recommendations for what sites to see, where to stay and what restaurants and pubs we should visit. We had great conversations while driving and laughed a bunch! Two things sum up the experience – one, we were all sad to see Patrick leave when he dropped us off in Dublin to catch our flight the next day and two, we would not go back to Ireland without using Personal Irish Tours!

We just returned from a fabulous 9 day trip Ireland. One of the highlights of our trip was having Patrick as our driver and tour guide! He was such a delightful and knowledgeable person and the services he provided were beyond my expectations.
Communication prior to our trip was excellent. Patrick returned emails quickly, answered my numerous questions and helped me tweak our itinerary . He made dinner reservations both before and during our trip. As we were traveling through Ireland he offered other suggestions of places to see that weren’t
on our original plans.
Patrick was quite knowledgeable about Ireland and we all learned a lot about the history and people of this beautiful country. We visited quaint villages & towns and experienced a nice variety of activities. We had lively conversations and enjoyed getting to know Patrick a bit
while riding in the van. We also enjoyed having him join us for a few meals during the week. He really made our trip unforgettable!
For anytime interested in a similar trip to Ireland I would highly recommend using Patrick!
