Ireland Travel Agents

We went on this holiday with our 2 daughters and our new son in law. Everyone had an incredible time. We have previously booked a trip with Jane and the people at Kim Kim to Scotland. It seems that they know exactly what we wanted. The previous trip obviously went very well also. Everything went incredibly smooth. The hotel check in's, the tickets to various events and attractions and the transfers. They were very responsive throughout the whole planning process. We really wouldn't use any other travel agent! We had an amazing tour with Aodan from The Killarney Touring Company. His enthusiasm, his knowledge about everything Ireland was amazing as was his flexibility and desire to show us a good time. We also traveled in style in a beautiful, brand new van.

The Mont Hotel

Dublin 2

They were extremely accommodating and flexible. Permitting us to check in early after a 6 hour flight and being up for 36 hours was very helpful! Very good breakfast also and a very friendly staff.

Aran Islands and Cliffs of Moher Day Cruise sailing from Galway

We were lucky and had amazing weather. The boat was very clean. Way nicer than our ferries in the states! The return trip took us on the ocean side of the Cliffs of Moher. It was incredible.

Private Guided Tour of Dingle and Slea Head

Ireland

This tour was with the Killarney Touring Company with Aodan Griffin. It was the highlight of our trip. He was extremely knowledgable about everything concerning Ireland. He was flexible and willing to do anything we wanted. A true professional. He had a brand new van that was very clean and comfortable. He couldn't do enough for us!

We've been on many tours with private drivers. Aodan was the best and that's saying something because we've been very fortunate with everyone that Kim Kim has arranged for us.

Brand new, very comfortable and clean van.

We had a wonderful time on this trip. It was well planned and we felt supported by our travel agent Claire when we had questions. Our best memories are those of the Irish people. They were friendly and caring. The sheep farm, falconry, bike tour, cliffs, jaunting car, abbey, castle rock were all spot-on for our preferences.

We had an ideal self-guided walking trip in southwest Ireland thanks to Kimkim connecting us with Ireland Walk, Hike, Bike. Dean Garrison from that company tailored 5 days of walking that perfectly suited our interests and abilities. We had superb communication with Dean as he tweaked the itinerary in response to our input. The transfers between hotels were flawless—all the drivers were really wonderful people. The hotels were wonderful, and the food at the Brook Lane in Kenmare was a special treat. When we had to modify the last day of hiking, Dean’s colleague Katie gave us instant support, suggesting not just one alternative option but three. We are already dreaming of coming back for another week of walking in Ireland. Truly, an amazing experience!

Adrian is an excellent tour guide to work with, he is very knowledgeable of his country and shows his pride and love for Ireland through his meticulous and carefully curated work! He was very accommodating and was able to answer all of our questions (we had a lot of questions lol) to achieve our dream of doing a backpacking trip cycling County Claire, and enjoy everything this beautiful country has to offer. He also had great restaurant recommendations that were accommodating to various dietary needs!

We would certainly recommend him for anyone who wants to travel to Ireland and would love to work with him again in the future!!

Westwinds B&B Guesthouse

Galway

This was a lovely bed-and-breakfast and the owner Shauna was very helpful with answering questions and even gave us great advice about where to eat and visit while we spent a few days in Galway. The breakfasts were excellent and there were many options to accommodate for gluten-free or dairy-free needs. Furthermore, the rooms were very clean the queen Neighbourhood of salt Hill in Galway is certainly a sight to see and would recommend this to anyone who wants to visit Galway!

Walk with Wolfhounds in Lisdoonvarna

Ireland

This experience with walking with Irish wolf hounds at the cliffs of Dune was very unique and something I will never forget! The owners Alan and Lisa were very friendly and knowledgeable of the history of the cliffs and it was interesting and educational to listen to. The dogs they brought were very friendly, majestic, and well-behaved and were certainly popular with everyone at the park lol (lots of pictures from other people, you feel like a celebrity!). I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves dogs and wants to learn more about the captivating history of the Irish Wolfhound and their importance in Ireland’s history!

This family heritage trip to Ireland trip exceeded our expectations. From the pick ups to the tour guides everything went perfectly. Carolina from Silverbus was our driver throughout the trip. From Waterford to Doolin to Dingle to Dublin her driving was phenomenal, she was on time and she was very respectful of our needs. She took us to a beautiful church and took some wonderful pictures for our family. She was very accommodating when we asked her to stop at the Cliffs of Mohr because our boat trip to the cliffs was cancelled due to the weather. She was polite and conscientious to all our needs

The walking tour of Waterford was wonderful. I think is name was Sean was knowledgeable and witty. The private Waterford Crystal tour was something we would have never done on our own, but it was amazing. One of the carvers took the time and explained to my daughter-in-law his craft on a personal level. There was also just enough free time to explore the museums in the Viking triangle and make it personal for everyone.

Dingle was a magical experience for us because of our Slea Head private tour with Dora as our guide. It was a cold and rainy day. Dora was so positive and so invested in making our experience special. I told her my husbands grandmother was from Dingle. I showed her the house, the cemetery and her name. By the end of the day, using her contacts, asking around in the Blasket Island museum and the pub she took us for lunch, we were at his grandmothers family homestead. We met distant cousins and she created a day we will cherish forever!!

In Doolin We took an Aran Island tour with Ollie’s Tours. Simon and Cearbhuil were our guides. Simon’s history and archeological knowledge were amazing. Cearbhiul’s person-ability and humble nature made us feel welcomed and warm. We were a bit disappointed because we couldn’t see the Cliffs of Mohr by boat due to the storming weather but we enjoyed the entire day. The tea and scone portion was great. We were able to chat with a local and get a glimpse of what life is like on the island.

Dublin was great too. Although a big city, the planned activities were great. The Epic museum was great. The planned appointment with the genealogist was a unique and fascinating part of the trip. Maura was excellent. She was fully invested in helping us find info about my husbands grandmotherWe probably would not have chosen Guinness but enjoyed the tour. St. Patrick’s tour was great. We loved doing it on our own while using the audio tour as our guide. The Landsdown Dinner Theater was great. I love how it was not only music and dance, but it incorporated the history of music and dance in the show. Our only complaint was it was 20 min. From our hotel and transportation was not factored in.

All in all, our experience with Kimkim was amazing. I would highly recommend their expert staff. Cathy was in total contact with us the entire time before we left. She assured us that everything would run smoothly. She is an asset to your company and I would definitely refer your company to anyone who is looking for a unique and private vacation. A++ to everyone involved in making this trip possible!!!
