Celebrate St Patrick's day 2026

Our tip to Ireland was to celebrate St Patrick's day in Dublin 2026. We had a wonderful 8 day experience made possible by the outstanding professionalism efforts of Naula Sheedy of Irish Tourism. We toured from Shannon to Gallaway to Killarney to Cork to Kilkenny and Dublin.

We truly had a wonderful experience in…

We truly had a wonderful experience in Ireland, and we appreciate the care and attention that went into every part of our trip. Maria Lieb was exceptional in helping us put together the perfect trip.
Everything met—and often exceeded—our expectations. The hotels were very comfortable and ideally located, which made exploring each area easy and enjoyable. The tours were exactly what we had planned and allowed us to see and experience Ireland in a meaningful and well-organized way.
Our drivers played a huge role in making the trip so special.
We have already begun recommending Irish Tourism to friends and family who are considering a trip to Ireland, and we will certainly continue to do so.
Thank you again for such a memorable and well-planned trip. We are very grateful for the experience.

Irish Tourism

The 10 day train tour I organised from Australia could not have been organised better. Lind made sure that the itinerary suited my needs before making bookings. The coordination was spot on. Hotels only 5 minutes walk from the station and tour operators close to the hotel. The hotels in the category I chose were exceptional an sited in the centre of activities. The tour operators used provided good coaches and guides who new the attractions visited with plenty of free time.
I will definitely use them for my next visit. Thank you Linda and Irish Tourism.

Travel Made Easy

Linda Larkin made this trip unforgettable. The car was perfect for our road trip. The route and the brochure she put together for us was exactly what we wanted out of our trip. The hotels were absolutely amazing. Our trip was so well plan we did not have to think about anything, but having a wonderful time. The best part was all the people we met along the way.

Two Perfect Trips

We have planned two trips with Irish Tourism. Both have been nothing short of spectacular. We have stayed at 5 star luxury hotels and properties each time. When there has been questions or we needed to change things, Niahm and Stephanie made it so easy. We have already started planning our next holiday and we will be booking with Irish Tourism again.

Ireland At its finest

Here’s a detailed, heartfelt positive review you could use:
I cannot say enough good things about Irish Vacation Tours. From the very first inquiry to the final farewell in Ireland, the entire experience was seamless, professional, and genuinely unforgettable.
The planning process was incredibly smooth. Their team took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for — a balance of history, breathtaking scenery, authentic culture, and time to explore at my own pace. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, from charming accommodations to comfortable transportation and well-paced daily itineraries. I never felt rushed, yet I also felt like I saw so much of Ireland in a short time.
The tour guide Ciaran was exceptional — knowledgeable, warm, and deeply passionate about Irish history and storytelling. They didn’t just recite facts; they brought Ireland to life. Whether we were standing along the Cliffs of Moher, walking through historic castles, or enjoying live traditional music in a local pub, each moment felt meaningful and immersive.
The accommodations were comfortable and welcoming, often located right in the heart of vibrant towns. Breakfasts were generous and delicious, and there were plenty of recommendations for fantastic local dining in the evenings.
What truly stood out was the level of care and organization. Everything ran on time. Communication was clear. Questions were answered quickly. It felt like traveling with the support of experts who genuinely love what they do.
If you're considering a trip to Ireland and want a stress-free, well-curated experience that still feels authentic and personal, I highly recommend Irish Vacation Tours. It was more than just a vacation — it was an experience filled with beauty, warmth, and memories that will last a lifetime.
Five stars all the way. 🍀 Can't wait to bring my parents Sincerely Daren And Holly A. Ohio USA

Irish Tourism is simply the best

What a wonderful company to deal with. Linda was excellent. Helpful, knowledgeable and so pleasant to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble for Linda and she was always available to help. The whole holiday was wonderful and it was all due to Linda’s wonderful assistance. We have no hesitation in recommending Irish tourism and Linda when planning a memorable Ireland holiday.

Don't drive yourself around Ireland. Use Irish Tourism instead.

Thinking of driving around Ireland? Think again and let Irish Tourism organise a bespoke tour and driver for you. You get to enjoy the amazing Irish scenery, have a knowledgable, local driver and there is no getting lost or arguing about taking a wrong turn. We used Irish Tourism for our first visit to Ireland and were not disappointed. Donal was our friendly driver for 1300kms - covering 5 counties in one day and trekking east to west on another day. Donal helped us find the graves of ancestors (from the 1700s) and used his local insights to find alternatives when something was unexpectedly closed. This ensured we had the best holiday. He also introduced us to Murphy's ice cream - Dingle Sea Salt flavour by the way. Linda organised lovely hotels at each overnight location and kept us informed from the time we made first contact and spoke about options through to our return home to Australia to ensure all went ok. We will definitely use Irish Tourism again.

A very memorable trip!

My mom and I had an amazing trip to Ireland, and Irish Tourism/Linda were instrumental in making that happen! The process of booking our trip was very easy, and all aspects of our trip while we were there went very smoothly. We were also pleased with our accommodations and included tours. We'd highly recommend to anyone interested in visiting Ireland!

Outstanding trip planning by Linda Larkin at Irish Tourism. She crafted a perfect itinerary covering all our desired sites and chose excellent hotels for our group of six. We’ll absolutely use her services again on our next Ireland visit.

Exceptional Service, First-in-Class Accommodations

Our recent tour along Ireland’s west coast—expertly arranged by Maria and the team at Irish Tourism—was nothing short of exceptional. From lining up first-class accommodations to offering thoughtful, detailed guidance on what to see and do, Maria made the entire experience seamless. She was always available for questions and handled our late-joining in-laws with grace and ease, ensuring everyone felt included.

The beauty of Connemara, the serenity of Kylemore Abbey, and the festive charm of Galway City at Christmastime left lasting impressions on all of us. Traveling the breathtaking Sleigh Head route on the Dingle Peninsula was a highlight, and our stay at the world-class Dromoland Castle was the perfect finale.

Whether you're a repeat visitor or exploring Ireland for the first time, Irish Tourism—and especially Maria—will make your journey unforgettable. Highly recommended!
