When is the best time of year to Visit Ireland ?

FAQs: "Every season has its charms and advantages as well as disadvantages for visiting Ireland. Spring is a nice time to come as it is not too busy and the weather is generally very mild and lots of flowers coming into bloom. Summer is peak tourist season and the hotels are more expensive but the weather is better and there are more people around which can be fun. Autumn is also popular as the weather can be nice and its less expensive, this is a good time to golf in Ireland as it is very mild and settled. Winter is often cold and wet but this can be a lovely time to come as there is a cozy atmosphere in the pubs and restaurants so its very welcoming. Also you will have all the countryside to yourself" - Shane Leahy

Limerick for Shane

"There was a young man from Dublin
Who organized this tour without mumblin’
He took six chicks from the Canadian sticks
And listened to their jokes without grumblin’!"

From The Canadian Chicks from Vancover who travelled in late August 2009.

Dear Readers,

We get many fine feedback letters from clients. This one is particularly good. Please enjoy the Limericks.

We had a ball! Thanks to you and Kevin! Our trip to Ireland was a most special time for all of us! We have so many special memories of the beautiful scenery, the breath-taking views at the cliffs of Mohr, the rocky shores of the Burren, the green landscape of the Conemarra, tea at Ashford Castle, Farney Castle and sweater buying, the marvelous horses at the National Stud, the Rock of Cashel, stomping thru the sheep pasture to see the stone ring, sky road, and sooo sooo much more! We won't soon forget!

We loved our personalized itinerary, all the tiny roads and Kevin the most excellent rain dodger! We learned so much about the history, peoples and customs of Ireland! Kevin was the perfect guide!

In fact, we wrote a limerick for Kevin:

There was a fine man from Cashel
Who knew how to drive so well
He took them to pubs
He showed them the studs
Five women fell under his spell!!

Thank you all so much!!!

Rosie is so elloquent; she has said it all so well, but of course I will add a wee bit:

Dear Kevin,

From the leprachan on a country lane to the ocean breeze on the cliffs of Mohr the enchantment and beauty of Ireland are forever etched into my being. For this I thank you,
