Just completed an 8 day golf trip with Pat Buckley as our tour driver. The trip and our experience with Pat could not have been better. Pat is a true Irish gentleman with a great sense of humor. He kept us on schedule at all times for golf, meals and sightseeing. Pat made of all our dinner reservations and never missed with his restaurant recommendations. He also made tee time changes for us when needed. His knowledge of local history and lore, along with his sense of humor, made every drive a highlight. I can’t recommend Pat enough for your next trip to Ireland.

You cannot go wrong with Patrick as your guide/driver. He is always prompt, courteous, entertaining and full of local knowledge. He will take you to terrific local spots that you would normally miss with a larger tour group. He made our trip extra special with his recommendations of things to do/see that we wouldn’t have known about. I highly recommend using his company and if we ever come back, we will use him.

Experiencing the Southwest of Ireland with a true local cannot be beat! Patrick embodies the spirit of Ireland: warm and welcoming and so proud of his heritage. He shared spots along the Ring of Kerry we would have never seen. His deep knowledge of the history and love of his country made us all fall in love with this very special place! All of his recommendations were excellent—especially in his hometown of Killarney—he was punctual, flexible and fun! While my sons golfed we did separate excursions and he was a delight to be with! Highly recommend him and know we will be back!

We just completed a wonderful 10 day tour of Ireland from Dublin to Galway. We spent the middle 4 days of our trip with Personal Irish Tours travelling through spectacular southwest Ireland. Our overnights were in the wonderful towns of Kinsale, Kenmare and Killarney (2 nights). We were provided with outstanding service from start to finish by Patrick and his father Pat. They were a great team to work with planning our trip and travelling around Ireland. Patrick showed us the spectacular Ring of Kerry, Dingle Peninsula, Cliffs of Moher and many other beautiful places. The Mercedes van we travelled in was very comfortable and well maintained. Patrick is a great driver and has extensive knowledge of the area and Irish history.
Before our trip it was told to us by friends that the best part of Ireland is actually not its beautiful scenery but its wonderful people. We found that to be true throughout our trip. We had so many nice conversations and experiences with the people of Ireland. None finer than Patrick and Pat. We truly enjoyed not just their service, but their company. Personal Irish Tours is outstanding.

Would highly recommend! Pat and his son Patrick were incredible. They took great care of us all week long on our golf trip. They were very friendly, informative, on time, and a pleasure to spend time with. Would use again on another trip to Ireland. 5 star service!
