On recent trip to Ireland, my wife and I used the services of Patrick and his father for several days while we were in the Killarney area. Despite my doing extensive research on what we wanted to do on our days with the full-time driver they found ways to make everyday better. It was clear that they were passionate about what they did and took to heart what we would prefer to do. Each day there was a suggestion on how to either arrange things, avoid potential pitfalls or do just something totally cool that wasn't even on our radar. Their sense of humor, flexibility and charm really added to our vacation.
We felt we got the most of our time in Dingle and the Ring of Kerry thanks to Patrick.
Thanks for your lovely review. Glad ye had a great around the west coast of Ireland.
Kind Regards,
Pat
We were lucky enough to have Patrick as a guide for 5 days of our mother/daughter trip around Ireland and all four members of our group ABSOLUTELY LOVED HIM! He was super friendly, helpful, and full of fun facts about the country that really helped us to enjoy our time in this beautiful place. Patrick went above and beyond to book us reservations at amazing restaurants and even helped plan an impromptu boat trip to meet some puffins! He was consistently on time, engaging, knowledgeable, and always managed to be right where we needed him when we were done exploring a new spot. We can’t recommend him highly enough and were truly sad to part ways at the end of our trip. Thanks for everything, Patrick!
Thanks Christina. We had a great week. I was delighted you got to see some puffins and some beautiful parts of Ireland. Hope ye arrived home safe and are all set for more adventures during the summer.
Kind Regards,
Patrick
We had a great week with our driver Pat Buckley. He was always on time and showed us great landscapes in between each golf course. I would have him be our driver again in a heartbeat! Very personable and told great stories and jokes during each drive. Had great recommendations in Kinsale, Waterville and Killarney. Highly recommend Personal Irish Tours.
Thanks for the great recommendation. Delighted you had a great time.
Kind Regards,
Pat Buckley
We had 6 days in Killarney. My wife and I are 74. We don't have the strength we once had, but we didn't want to waste our time on a large tour bus.
Patrick became the perfect answer. We drove the Ring of Kerry and made the tour of Dingle. Patrick's knowledge was wonderful. But even better, we got to know him and he us. Through him and our discussions of history, politics and a bit of religion, we saw a bit of Ireland through the mind and heart of an Irishman.
Patrick was open and read us well. He knew the best places for us and catered accordingly. I was able to do some hiking along the way which got me out to see , smell and taste the wonderful landscape of mountains, valleys and lakes.
I'm painting with a broad brush. Most important, we left a friend behind, not just a tour guide.
Thanks Stewy & Kit, delighted to show ye around the most beautiful parts of Ireland. We had a great time interacting. Hope to see you guys back again sometime in the future. Chat soon, Patrick
We toured with Pat for 9 days--we flew into Shannon and left out of Dublin. Pat showed us many places and has a wealth of knowledge at all of the locations. We enjoyed great food at reasonable prices because of Pat's knowledge of the various restaurants; reservations were in place so we could walk in and enjoy our meal.
Pat is a delightful, considerate man and after 9 days he was still smiling and polite as ever.
I highly recommend Personal Irish Tours!
Was my pleasure showing you around our beautiful country. Thanks for being great guests. Hopefully we see you guys back again sometime.
Kind Regards,
Pat
We got to tour with Patrick for 3 days in Killarney. We did the Ring of Kerry, The Dingle Peninsula, Ross castle, The Killarney national park, Muckross Home & gardens, and Abbey. Patrick was absolutely incredible! Such a genuinely nice person and so immensely knowledgeable about all things Ireland and then some. He gave us so much detailed information about our tours and some really funny stories. We had so much fun and I can’t wait to take my sister to see Ireland and do tours with Patrick! I saw some of the most beautiful places, ate some really delicious food and gained a friend. To me that’s what travel is all about! ☺️
Thanks for the great review. Glad you had a great time and hopefully see you back here again in the future.
Kind Regards,
Pat
