I just wanted to share a quick update on our recent family trip to Ireland. Hard to believe we’ve already been back a month! It was an amazing experience for our group of 15, especially our five grands (ages 6–11), who did great with the travel and time change. The weather was perfect, and we’re so glad we used your service. Sean McGovern – Outstanding in every way: safe driver, gentlemanly, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. He anticipated our needs, gave great advice on food, pacing, and kid-friendly stops, and even researched ideas in advance. My family couldn’t have been happier with him. Hotels – Very good overall. Cork was a pleasant surprise, and Killarney was a great base for Dingle and Kerry. Ennis worked well for a family dinner, though the town was quiet on a Monday. Rooms in a few places were warm due to unusual weather, but no complaints. Highlights – Seeing The High Kings in Killarney, Newgrange (a big hit with the grands), Tarbert ferry, jaunting car + lake cruise, Clonakilty village, Kissane sheepdogs, falconry in Dingle, the Blasket and Burren Centers. Crowds/Reservations – August was much busier than we expected. Scheduling ahead for sites like the Cliffs, Glendalough, and Clonmacnois is essential. Sean managed it all smoothly when needed. Other Notes – We skipped the Ring of Kerry due to timing but enjoyed a relaxed morning in Kenmare, which turned out to be a great choice. Overall, the bus was comfortable, the hotels solid, and Sean invaluable. Most importantly, we had a perfect family trip that we’ll never forget.
