TESTIMONIALS

beautiful trip.

Good info

Kieran and Katrina were the “Love Irish” people who made a stressful endeavor into a perfect and enjoyable adventure. Katrina worked with Eileen at County Carlow to design a unique agenda specifically aimed at bonding Americans with Irish people. The events are too numerous to describe here but the impact will be felt in the international “Sister Cities” effort for years in the future. Kieran, was outstanding and mind boggling with his span of knowledge and care for the 13 soles aboard.Our goal was to prove that Ireland is not just castles, churches and museums but a country of caring and friendly people. We set out to cement the bond of County Carlow with Davenport, Iowa at the grass roots. The stress part was me trying to be a tour planner and herder of cats. I’m neither one but they lifted that load, designed and accomplished a flawless adventure.Anyone interested in a personal accolade — contact me.

A special thanks to Katrina Seery for her genuine interest, warmth and timely assistance in arranging for our recent family visit. With Katrina organizing the logistics, we had a wonderful and fulfilling time during our visit with everything working out just perfectly and we never encountered any rain. In addition, we struck “family gold” in our visit to my grandparents’ home in the village of Ballinastack, meeting my first cousin and her husband for the very first time, a highlight of our visit.Staying at the Ballynahinch Castle was “magical”. My wife and I have never stayed in such a luxurious place before to say nothing of the remarkable setting. Next would come the Cliffs of Moher, the Dunloe Gap and the Guinness Storehouse Tour in Dublin as the most memorable places that we visited. Kinsale was everything that we could have wished for in an Irish town, good food and drinks, great entertainment and very friendly people. Closely followed by the energy of Dublin, the historic streets of Galway and the nightly Irish music we found in the pubs of Killarney. The three B&B’s we stayed at were just fantastic and memorable in every way. All of the proprietors being exceptional.Katrina arranged with Hertz to provide us with a very comfortable and roomy Peugeot automatic diesel SUV which operated just flawlessly during our drives on highways and numerous rural roads. We self-drove throughout our trip and it was very challenging at times, however, it is also quite doable and I encourage others to give it a try.Katrina’s advice and suggestions on the itinerary were invaluable and enabled us to achieve everything we had hoped to accomplish. An unbelievable trip with enduring memories for a lifetime. On behalf of our entire family, thank you Katrina and Love Irish Tours for all of your efforts in helping to make our visit to Ireland a reality. You and your firm are true professionals. It was indeed a pleasure to do business with you.
