Private Guided Tours of Ireland 2010 . Why ?? 10 Reasons Why !!

I often get asked the Question " Why a Private Guided Tour of Ireland ? " There are of course other options such as self drive, coach tours, Paddywagons, Bicycles, Horse and Trap, cruises and lots lots more.

However in my humble option the private guided tour gives the best of all the above for the following ten reasons.

1. You have complete independence to decide where to go and when to go there. We will guide you but of course the decisions are ultimately yours.

2. You get to travel in style. You get more comfort than a self drive and certainly more comfort than been crammed on a bus.

3. You have a living guidebook on your tour that will bring the landscape, the people and the culture to life for you. They will also help you to meet locals in their natural habitats ( ie the pubs, cafes, restaurants, shops and street corners)

4. You get years of expertise and guidance which is only learned through many travels through the emerald green landscapes.

5. You will only ever get lost if you really want to .. unless we go tracking down your lost lost relatives in a town that has ceased to exist .. that has happened !!
6. Relaxation, relaxation, relaxation .. is that what being on holiday is all about !!
7. Contributing to the local economy. We are a local company based in Ireland and all our driver guides are Irish .. we are guaranteed 100% Irish !!

8. We make the trip seamless for you that all you have to do is turn up at the airport, port, hotel etc and we take care of everything else.

9. You will certainly see and hear things you would never see or hear on a self drive or bus tour .. that is a guarantee.

10. Makes your friends envious .. tell them your "Taking a private Guided Tour of Ireland" .. they will wonder how you got so smart all of a sudden...

St Patricks Week Tour of Ireland 2010

Hi All,

We have created a wonderful 10 day / 9 night itinerary for those wishing to visit the Emerald Isle for St Patricks week in 2010.



Its a great time to visit Ireland for the following reasons.

1. Its Spring, Its Ireland, Green grass and yellow daffodils !!
2. St Patricks week is full of festivities and events.
3. Its still low season so the tour is 15 - 20% cheaper than high season prices.
4. We promise not to make you eat corned beef and cabbage and drink green beer ..
5. You get to dress in green and wear a ubiquitous leprechaun hat and beard.


Do you need any other reasons to visit the Emerald Isle in March .. think of it as Mardi Gras with "Green" instead of "Gras" ..

Tour is featured on this link and of course can be fully customized to your exact requirements .. we look forward to showing Ireland at the most Irish time of year.

On our sample tour we have Cork as the city to spend St Patricks Day. Why ? Cork was voted in the top 10 cities in the world to visit in 2010 by Lonely Planet. Its a vibrant city with great culture and food scene and the main street is called St Patricks Street .. its ideal for the occasion.

Testimonials from 2009

 
We recieved over 100 testimonials from our tours in 2009. Many of these are posted on our website on http://www.irelandchauffeurtravel.com/testimonials.php We recieved many more by letter, card, postcard, gift and personal invitation. We visited a number of our past clients on our trip to Florida this year and many are amazed that we still remember them five years later. Personally i remember each tour as each tour is always unique, different and interesting. Each group brings its own dynamics which makes it more interesting and memorable and of course each route is different as each is personalized per group requirements. The group in this photo are the Michalisins, Flahertys and Gagliardis from New Jersey. I am sure if I ever make it to New Jersey we will have a coffee on the famous New Jersey shore and remember fondly the summer in Ireland ( thats an oxymoron by the way , we dont get summer in Ireland , at least not one like they get in New Jersey).
