  • We highly recommend John O' Connell for touring South and West Ireland

    My wife and I have long wanted to visit Ireland. John O' Connell developed an individualized itinerary based on many email exchanges that ultimately included Garnish Island and Tully Cross, a family ancestral home, as well as the usual sites. From the moment we met John in Cork, we knew we were in great hands. We generally followed the itinerary, but John was always open to new ideas and sensitive to our scheduling plans. He is a careful driver, a great companion and an excellent guide, with stories and information about all the sites of South and West Ireland,including his home town in Kerry. We highly recommend hiring John O' Connell if you want to get out of the cities and see the countryside.

  • I know Ireland now!

    John was GREAT! Very reliable, knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. With John and his company you receive much more than what you pay for. We have already recommended him to several friends and now to anyone who is contemplating a trip to Ireland, you don’t want to do it without John and his company. Thanks a lot, Jon.
