My wife, stepdaughter and I spent a week touring the southwest of Ireland. We basically had no plan. Patrick showed us the best time and made sure we saw all the sites and learned all about Ireland. Our trip truly would not have been the same without him. In addition to making sure we saw all the sites, he went above and beyond by making dinner and tour reservations for us. It was like having our own concierge! I consider him a life long friend. I can’t wait until our next trip!

We spent 10 days with Patrick of Personal Irish Tours. There were four of us (2 couples). Patrick and his Dad Pat worked with us for 7 months planning the trip to make it exactly what we wanted. We were not disappointed. From the clean comfortable Mercedes van Waiting for us every morning, the great knowledge of our guide to personal dinner bookings. Everything was great! Patrick knew all the places to take us to stay away from the tourists to see the beauty of the country. He was also flexible to find places and activities that we were interested in. He went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule. After the second day we were satisfied that it was well worth the cost !! We even got Pat involved in finding geocashes. I highly recommend them!!

One of the best decisions I have ever made was to choose to experience Ireland with Personal Irish Tours. We had Mossie as our guide and driver for 3 days and I cannot thank him enough for making our visit so enjoyable. Our tour included the Ring of Kerry, Dingle Peninsula and a drive from Dingle to Doolin taking in the Burren. The Mercedes van was incredibly comfortable and Mossie was so accommodating in stopping if we asked him to and taking us places that are not on any regular tour but simply magical (and some delicious lunch stops). Having the smaller van allowed us to travel on some roads that the big tour buses cannot travel on. Pat was so helpful before we left Canada in recommendations and finding out what we were looking for in the trip. Communication was flawless and ongoing. We would not have enjoyed the beauty of Ireland and its people as much if it had not been for Pat and Mossie. A big thank you from Canada.

Patrick made our vacation a very special and memorable experience.

My wife and I visited Ireland for the first time and had been recommended Personal Irish Tours by a friend. We arranged for a 4 day tour from Kinsale around the Wild Atlantic Way to Killarney then around the ring of Kerry to Galway, and then being dropped in Dublin for us to explore on our own and watch the Gaelic Football All-Ireland final championship rematch. Patrick Jr. served as our tour guide and he was delightful, knowledgeable and provided us with a customized sightseeing experience. He took us to stone circles, pubs, castles, cathedrals, restaurants, monastic sites, and other historical sites that made the trip fun, interesting and a truly an unforgettable experience. Paddy Jr. became our friend and history teacher.... and I would recommend Personal Irish Tours to anyone that wants to have it all while touring Ireland. Brilliant!
