Custom Self-Driving Tours of Ireland

We started our planning one year in advance and had the most stress free vacation that I have ever been on. Svetlana was our travel agent and did an amazing job with the itinerary. During our first zoom call we talked about a few key features the group (4) wanted to do, St Patrick's Day 2026 in Dublin, Guinness Storehouse, Cliffs of Moher, Kiss the Blarney Stone. We also communicated with Svetlana wanted to hire a private driver when traveling outside of Dublin, not a bus tour, so that everyone in the group could rest in between destinations and not deal with the hassle of large groups. She took these requests and built us an amazing itinerary and filled in the gaps with here own suggests. We made some minor changes and finalized the plan on version 3. She took care of all the tickets to all the destinations, booked all the hotels, booked all the transportation. Her communication was prompt and made great suggestions to match the vibe of the group.
The hotels were great. The transport vehicles were very clean and roomy for a group of four. The drivers were always on time. We had transportation waiting for us when we got off the plane to get us to our hotel in Dublin. Our driver during the 4 days outside of Dublin was Paul, he was very knowledgeable of all the sights, he even brought us to a few extra places that were not on the list of stops, he was flexible but still kept us on pace to make sure we could fit in the days agenda. Paul was great, could not have asked for a better driver to spent 4 days with. The day we left the driver was early and took us to the airport.
Svetlana thanks for a great trip; everyone in the group had a great time and I cant think of anything we would have done differently.

I feel lucky to have been paired with Adrian because he was incredibly communicative from day one. He listened to what I wanted, but also provided suggestions that made sense for me, my travel style, and the duration of the trip. I also appreciated him checking in on me during the trip as well!

Of the walking tours booked, I much preferred the guide and style of the one in Dublin. It felt more personalized as he reached out to each individual/traveler group to understand their interests and provide appropriate recommendations. The Cliffs of Moher tour was stunning, but only because we got very lucky with the weather. Unfortunately, we only got just under an hour at the Cliffs, which was not enough time.

Lodging was always in a safe and easily accessible location.

I hope to visit Ireland again and work with Adrian again!

The trip was amazing over all, my favorite places were The Blarney Castle and the Cliffs of Moir, but my favorite of the whole trip was the Seaweed baths. In Scotland the Edinburgh Castle was great along with other attractions. Food and hotels were fantastic.
