What a great day! The kids loved seeing the cliffs and the tower on the cliffs. Seeing the Irish country side and listening to Irish music made us feel at home. Eamond was so insightful and such a great tour. Well worth the money!!!

Having a family of 6 with little kids, we were dreading a 12 hour tour to the West coast from Dublin, half worried we were going to make our kids hate traveling. We read raving reviews of Eamonn and decided to go for the private option. And man! was it worth it!! Eamonn certainly lives up to the reviews - we (kids included) didn't realize the hours melt away. He caters to our needs, tailors the trip accordingly - one moment we (the adults, of course :D) are given a taste of Irish Whiskey, and the next we are clapping in rhythm to traditional Irish music. Eamonn has an incredible deeper understanding of Irish roots which he is able to effortlessly trace from Gaelic names of towns and villages. He fills you with so much data, interspersed with sparkling wit, all the while making you feel like you're hanging out with a family member at the pub. The Cliffs of Moher are a must see, with a few castles along the way, the Burren Chocolate factory (to the Kid's delight) amidst the limestone landscape that's just wild and a touch of Tolkien history. Amazing wonderful day!

We recently returned from a bucket list trip to Ireland. Prior to the trip, we had the crazy idea that we would rent a van and drive ourselves around Dublin, and to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway. BAD BAD BAD IDEA. Did I mention that we are from the US? Which means we drive on the opposite side of the road and our streets are MUCH wider. Thankfully, we stumbled across Eamonn. Wow, wow, wow. This guy is passionate about his heritage and his country and it shows in everything he does. He took the time to educate us on Irish history which included music and storytelling. He made this an experience, so much more than a tour guide. He took us to local restaurants, local shops and off the beaten path castles/landmarks that were over the top. We enjoyed him so much that we booked him for a second day to take us to a local sheep farm and a manor house that is open to the public. I highly recommend Eamonn. He is a fantastic person and truly goes the extra mile to make sure you have an amazing experience.

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 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
