We spent a week traveling thru The ring of Kerry, Galway, and Cliffs of Moher with John O'Brien John was brilliant , spending time with us , giving us tours and stories of each area we visited. Our trip was highlighted by our experience traveling with John. As we spent 3 days in Dublin on our own , we were thrilled to meet up with John as our trip was planned to drive for 5 days with a group of 7 adults....WE highly recommend John O'Connell and his associated to assist you with plans for a trip of a lifetime. We look forward to going back with our adult children soon... Patti Murphy & JR Murphy / Christine Murphy Group
Experiencing Ireland by utilizing Cork Luxury Travel was the best decision we made last year during our European travels! John O'Connell was the perfect host, guide, and driver for our group of four. We saw everything we wanted, mixed with the locals off the tourist track, and fell in love with Ireland. John showed us the real Ireland, and when we return we will definitely use his services to show us the places we didn't see.
We enjoyed every moment, view and expirience !! We loved our tour and your generous Irish hospitality !! Ireland through your guide will remain special to us and we can not thank you enough !! We especially enjoyed the personal touch of seeing.
When you plan a week long trip for your family of 5, which includes two college kids and an 81 year old mother who has trouble walking, working with a conventional tour group leaves room for concern. I needed to deal directly with person who would be working with us. Thankfully, a rave review on TripAdvisor led me to Cork Luxury Travel and it's owner/operator John. From my first inquiry until our final farewell, John was responsive and careful to manage my expectations. It was like working with a beloved family member who cared just as much about the success of our trip as I did. In a nutshell: Luxury, comfortable, clean car. John, a native of Cork knows EVERYTHING about how to drive the Ring of Kerry: Secret spots, inside scoop, golf courses, and best spots to enjoy lunch. More importantly, he can talk to anyone! He finds a common thread and connects to each person individually. He also is totally fine if your group is tired and just wants to be quiet. John was very considerate of my mother and at every stop made a point to see how she could best be escorted. We could not have asked for a better guide and new friend. Do yourself a huge favor and book him!
Hi Jane. Thank you so much for taking the time to post your wonderful review. It was an absolute pleasure to get to know you and your family and especially your straight talking mum. Your stay in Ireland was very short but we squeezed a lot in without feeling rushed. Hopefully, we will cross paths again.
P.S. one small correction; I am a native of Kerry, just in exile in Cork ha,ha.
