Dear Eamonn, I wanted to express our sincere gratitude for the incredible tour you provided for my group of six around Ireland. After finding you on TripAdvisor and reading your excellent reviews, we had high expectations, and you truly exceeded them. Your extensive knowledge of Irish history was fascinating, and you made every historical site come alive. Beyond that, your accommodating nature ensured that we saw some truly unique and off-the-beaten-path places that we would never have discovered on our own. You were not only informative but also a lot of fun, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone looking for an exceptional tour guide in Ireland. If I find myself heading to Dublin again, you will be the first person I reach out to. Thank you again for making our trip so memorable. It was a truly great time! Teri

Eamonn came highly recommended by a friend in New Jersey where I live. I was telling the friend how I knew I wanted to propose in Ireland but knew nothing about the country. I reached out to Eamonn and he not only called the me to discuss my wants/needs, but gave advice on hotels, places to see, scheduling, flights to take, even where to pop the question! I booked him for the first 3 days, a different adventure each day and I wish I'd booked all 5! His communication is second to none, he's punctual, knowledgeable, and fun! We plan on returning to that beautiful country next year and won't schedule the trip until I know his ability, he's THAT good. Thank you Eamonn, see you soon!

Eamonn was hands down the best tour guide you could ask for. He knew his music, he knew his drink, he knew his history, and most importantly he knew his country. He was warm, personable, honest, and catered the conversation to our interests. The Cliffs were great, but ultimately it’s Eamonn and his perspective that made the experience truly unforgettable.

Eamonn is a fantastic tour guide, driver, and entertainer. The trip was worth the time and the price. He adjusted the tour to ensure we had the best view of the Cliffs of Moher. The visit to Galway put us there at a great time to explore the city. He walked us to some super places and his advice was spot on. He made the time personal. Loved the introduction to Ireland. Book him!

Eamonn was our amazing driver, tour guide, and entertainer. The day was truly special. Having a driver like Eamoon introduced us to the Ireland sights from a fresh perspective.

Eamonn was an exceptional tour guide! Truly one of the best! Great recommendations and communications for the moment I contacted him. His response to each question I had during booking and recommendations for lodging and dinner were top notch. Transportation was immaculate and all the extra touches he provided cannot be matched! We spent three days with Eamonn. Each day was unique, fun and educational. His ability to take us off the beaten path and truly experience Dublin and Ireland was incredible! Such an authentic tour and a once in a lifetime trip! We highly recommended booking with Chaperone VIP Private Tours!

The day trip to Galway was a great one. The cliffs were shrouded in deep heavy fog so we couldn’t see anything at all but the bus stopped at Burren which had mini cliffs and the wild Atlantic way sea so we did not miss out. Galway is the city of music and surpassed my expectations … it was a stunning day out

This adventure is one of the kind, highly recommended, worth every penny, but the difference maker was Eamonn, he is the most caring, wonderful storyteller , so knowledgeable in Irish history, culture, pubs, music, absolutely the most incredible tourist guide I have ever encounter in Europe. From the very beginning he made sure our experience will be totally EPIC, we started punctual picked up at our hotel in a great comfortable van for our family of five, with plenty snacks, water and even local whiskey tasting along our journey, SUPERB! We had a beautiful ride along Galway admiring it’s unique landscape and stunning nature, stopping for pictures in its vibrant town, castles, a stop to feed donkeys, one of my daughters was crazy about petting cows and he made it possible, we also stopped at a local family Hazel Mountain chocolate factory for Irish craft chocolate tasting (yummy)! We were blessed with gorgeous sunny weather to admire the Cliffs of Moher, simply AMAZING! Also Eamonn made sure he was taking pictures of us in every stop! He even went beyond and above by providing a printed picture of the whole family in one of the stops to send a post card to one of my daughter who couldn’t join us in this fabulous adventure, that was totally high touch super especial thoughtful idea! On our way back from the Cliffs we stop to eat at Vaughan’s Seafood and Oyster Bar a Burren Restaurant with Michelin star in 2021, absolutely wonderful food! A quick stop at Barack Obama Plaza for pictures and we continue our trip back to Dublin that passed so fast because we were entertained by Eamonn with stories, folklore, music and so much more from this amazing country, he was so funny, and incredibly sweet with my 85yo mother always checking for her comfort and marking sure she had a wonderful time! Before dropping us back in the hotel once we arrived to Dublin we made a quick stop to meet his family Kim and his pug Angie (we have a pug ourselves and we were so happy by this personal touch of taking us to meet his lovely family). I cannot even say enough wonderful things about this incredible trip, it was an unforgettable memorable experience! Thank you Eamonn! YOU TOTALLY ROCK!!!

We had a great time with Eamonn! Don’t hesitate to book this tour. We had a nice drive from Dublin through the countryside to Galway and learned a lot about Irish music along the way. We spent time in Galway admiring the old architecture, found a nice pub and even had some shopping time . Afterwards we headed towards the Cliffs, stopping at a lovely little chocolate shop along the way and a pub for lunch. The scenery was gorgeous and we took lots of great photos. The weather was good and we were able to get some great pics at the Cliffs. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.

This was our 2nd visit to Dublin, so we decided to take a private tour with Eamonn. It was Awesome! We did bus tours the last time we were there. The bus tours were decent; I have no complaints, but Eamonn really took it to a whole different level. He showed up at the hotel to pick us up, right away he was very personable and a connection was formed between us. I mention that because without it, 12-13 hours with a stranger can be a very stressful thing! My daughters and my wife Catherine had nothing but great things to say about Eamonn when we returned to the hotel. If you knew my daughters, that alone would impress you:-) During the ride to Galway Eamonn provided historical details, facts, fiction, fun, and music. He did take a couple of breaks to give us time to reflect:-) Eamonn suggested we do Galway first because of the weather. It was a good call. My family loved Galway. In fact, if we go back again they suggest staying in Galway. The ride to the Cliffs of Moher Eamonn continued to educate and entertain. We stopped for lunch in a small town/village, it was the best stew I've had in a very long time. Catherine doesn't really do stews, but I think she's going to start:-) We pretty much had the Cliffs to ourselves (there were just a few other people there at that time). The weather was great except the windchill dropped the temperature about 20 degrees, but visibility was unrestricted for miles!!! It was a truly unique experience, and if we go back we'll do it again! I'm still working through the photos we took, but I'll add a few (which Eamonn took). My suggestion is you go and make your own memories. In case you are wondering Catherine's grand mother was Irish, and my daughters are 17% Irish. As for me, I do have Irish in my blood, but I really like Guinness:-) Eamonn, you are awesome!
