Testimonials

Thanks to Amy, we had an incredible trip in Ireland! We saw so many breathtaking sights, had so many rich and authentic experiences, and met some of the kindest humans. She was able to guide us in a direction to not only have an amazing experience, but to not waste our time and money on the many mediocre tourist traps. Dingle was an area we definitely had not heard about and all of Amy's recommendations as far as sights to see were phenomenal.  Longs Riding for horseback riding, East Tower, Kinard Beach, Slea Head Loop, Bin Ban Beach, etc. From her details on how to rent a car and get it out of the airport parking lot, down to what direction to literally look when you get to the end of a trail... she doesn't miss a thing and will make sure you don't either. Her passion and knowledge for this beautiful country is incomparable, take any advice she gives you!

I highly recommend the exceptional trip planning services provided by my friend, Amy. Amy organized a memorable trip to Ireland for me and my family, and her dedication and local knowledge truly made the trip unforgettable.

Amy’s ability to customize an itinerary with unique stops was remarkable. As a result we discovered hidden gems that we never would have experienced without her guidance. From cliffs to castles to breathtaking coastal drives and to local pubs to hear Irish Fiddlers playing traditional Irish music was an unforgettable experience and one I can’t wait to repeat in the near future!

I wholeheartedly endorse Amy as a trip planner for your Ireland adventure. She is the perfect choice to help you achieve your travel dreams to Ireland!

Hi Amy,
We are back from our trip to Ireland. We had fantastic weather, which really made such a HUGE difference, it never rained and was in the mid to high 60’s every day! I will forever go to Ireland in mid to late May.
We stayed in Dublin, Doolin, and Dingle. From Dublin we drove across the country to Kinvara, had lunch in Ballyvaughan (and visited Gleninagh Castle), we went to Poulnabrone Dolmen, and then the Cliffs of Moher (we fit in A LOT this day). We went to all 3 pubs in Doolin, heard wonderful traditional music and had the best fish and chips of our lives at McGann’s Pub.
Dingle was amazing, so much due to all of your recommendations, sincerely thank you so much!!!  The drive into the Dingle Peninsula was beautiful, rolling green hills, farmlands, etc. and we were able to hit every site and beach on your list! We especially loved the Minard Castle (not a soul was there, just us). We saw Rahinane Castle, did the Slea Head drive, visited the beehive huts, stopped at every beautiful site, fed farm animals and held a baby goat! We went to Louis Mulcahy Pottery (I got some small items, but I could have bought so much more). We stumbled upon the Dingle Golf Links so we ended up having lunch at their restaurant (it is open to the public), I would highly recommend it.

The first night we went to Foxy Johns. We had such a fun time, just relaxing and we made some Irish friends, which is always fun. The second night we went to O’Flaherty’s and heard Fergus play his entire SET, 2 hours without a break (except to grab a pint), he played 6 instruments and sang, OMG, it was by far the favorite moment of the trip for me. We met a very nice older Irish couple from Dublin and the guy got up and sang WITH Fergus several times. It was so fun.

We ate the most delicious double chocolate Ice Cream at Kool Scoops and just enjoyed walking around and visiting all the shops so much.

I can’t wait to go back to Dingle again.
