Pat Buckley is wonderful. He made my first experience in Ireland flawlessly perfect. He knows the area so well. All his recommendations were spot on. He himself is so enjoyable. I know I have a new friend now. I would recommend Pat and his son Patrick to anyone. We will post pictures of our journeys.
He took all of the stress out of our adventure. He also added in a few surprises which were just icing on the cake.

Personal Irish Tours- Patrick Buckley Jr- is simply outstanding!! We were a group of 6 adults traveling to Ireland for the first time for 8 days. Patrick met us at Shannon Airport in a very clean, seven person Mercedes van. We fit comfortably and his driving skills were impeccable. We always felt safe which is saying a lot on the roads of Ireland! We had our hotels in Galway and Killarney booked, but left the daily itinerary to Patrick. His knowledge, humor, patience and kindness made our trip to Ireland perfect! Patrick is well versed in the history, culture and sites of Ireland. We covered over 1000 miles on our journey and he finally delivered us in Dublin after 5 days in the West..At the end of the week, we were sad to leave our friend, Patrick, as we had become very fond of him and how well he took care of us. Thank you Personal Irish Tours you are simply outstanding!!

Patrick was an absolute pleasure!! He gave us the trip of a lifetime and I’m eternally grateful. After traveling the world I’m thoroughly impressed. The places he helped us experience and the way he rolled out the red carpet for everything made me feel like a queen. My family enjoyed beautiful golf and fishing experiences not to mention the many other fantastic activities and outings. If you have the opportunity to tour w/ him, do it! You won’t regret it.

This was my second trip with Pat Buckley. First trip was nine-years ago, second trip was July/August 2019 with my immediate family. Trip included rounds of golf, fishing and cultural tours. You will not find a better guide or person to share Ireland with you. I would give a rating of ten if available. Best Regards Pat - Ron Bubar

We reserved Pat’s services on recommendation from our B&B proprietor (@ Killeen House) and they were spot on as Pat was so easy to work with in advance of our trip - We spent 7 days touring from near Lahinch (Doonbeg) down to Kinsale and Old Head and back to Shannon airport hitting 6 courses in between the 7 days. Coordinating and aligning schedules with Pat was seamless, it was easy to pay deposit (via Zoom) and he provided a ton of great advice and suggestions in advance to make the trip more efficient.
As we arrived we spent 1st night in Doonbeg, Pat met us at our first resort early in the morning and shuttle us for
Courses to hotel, he was a charm - knew the country, roads like back of his hand, cities and their history magnificently. Also, at every stop and course along the way we Pat knew someone working or at the restaurant/courses as he had a “connection” that made things just flow.
Outside of being a gem of a man, with great sense of humor, without doubt all of us would use Pat again for a tour with my lads or my family - can’t go wrong with this choice and all 4 of us that travelled with Pat for the week are seasoned world travelers (all ex consultants) so we know great service levels.
From the lovely and comfortable Mercedes van (had 3 guys over 6’4”), the hospitality, seamless service, the learning and education lessons.... would recommend Pat for your next trip to the emerald island. 5*****
Thanks Pat! Joel, Jeff, David and Christian!!
