We had planned a family trip to Ireland in July 2020 to celebrate our 50th anniversary. Jean at GoVisitIreland was very helpful in setting up what was to be the trip of a lifetime for us, but because of the coronavirus pandemic we were not able to take that trip. Jean is very knowledgeable about her beautiful country and after asking us what we hoped to see and do while there, assisted us by tailoring a trip which included tours, hotels, and a personal driver/guide service to meet those hopes. Jean was a pleasure to work with as she accepted ALL our questions and responded to them in a timely manner. We were disappointed, of course, that we could not take that trip, but when we are ready to once again plan to travel to Ireland we will not hesitate to reach out to Jean and her colleagues at GoVisitIreland for their services.…

I stayed in this quaint, Irish town for a wedding recently. Lots of local businesses, restaurants and the wonderful B&B, Coffey's River's Edge. Big shout out to the owner of the key/toy shop who called a taxi for me to attend the church service in Milltown. Nice plaza in the middle of the town, too. Cute shops including a Eurospar supermarket, a textiles shop and a stationery shop. The bridge and the river are a lovely sight too. Wonderful small town full of Irish hospitality, a place where the locals have time for you.…

Thank you so much Go Ireland for being very flexible and helpful with me during this trip. I absolutely loved the The Kerry Walk ...I was only able to attend two hikes...Glenbeigh to Glencar and then Kenmare to Killarney, but they were Spectacular! Our guide Dan was incredible and the B & B's we stayed were perfect! I so appreciate all of your help in planning and accepting stressed e-mails from me at the last minute. All was perfect...just perfect! Will be back soon...…

I'm not really into holidays where we lounge by a pool all day. Having said that I'm no athlete either, but I do like to move around. I saw that Go Visit Ireland offered hikes for all levels so I signed up for the moderate Ring of Kerry walks. Moderate is not easy, but it is very doable if you have a reasonable level of fitness. Perfect for me. This was my first solo holiday so it was pretty daunting at first. Go Visit Ireland made it so easy and I cannot fault their organisation at all. All I had to do is turn up on the day. Everything was just right, accommodation on point, communications friendly and they responded quickly to my questions. I must say it is hard to beat a holiday where days consist of walking over misty hills, into ancient woods, skirting loughs and farms - just taking in all of mother nature's magnificent architecture. Ireland's human history was also on show, from her first peoples to invasions to famines to the troubles - evidence of it all as we walked that beautiful country. All this with the added bonus of great company and a knowledgeable guide. Our guide Dan was fantastic, he knows the lay of the land like the back of his hands, and literally used his hand to explain to us where things were - "fingers of Kerry". My evenings dining with new friends and listening to live trad music at local pubs was the icing, or the cherry - both actually. If you want to see what most people will not see on a holiday in Ireland, then this is one way to do it. My only advice is to make sure to pack a pair of waterproof pants - sometimes it rains - a lot.…
