5.00As always, we had a great time in Ireland. It was our fourth trip. Shamrock Routes does a fantastic job. I would highly recommend them to anyone traveling Ireland. Most people think they can do it cheaper by themselves. But I disagree. Ambrose McKay done a wonderful job once again and facilitating our trip. You won’t find a better price or a better company to travel with.
Only way to travel in my opinion

5.00It was the best overseas experience you could ask for. No hassle, stressfree, relaxing and so much fun! I researched everything, sent all my "wants" and "likes" to Ambrose and he took care of everything. It's so much better and easier than booking everything yourself and worrying about renting a car, navigating and getting to anywhere on time. He can meet any budget and no worries when wanting to stop off at the pub for a pint! Let ambrose do the driving!!!
Exceptional Service and expertise

5.00My husband and I visited Ireland last fall. We had chosen an itinerary ourselves and decided to have a driver. We weren’t keen on driving in another country and we wanted to enjoy the sights and scenes without nerve wracking directions and traffic. This was our first experience with a driver and it couldn’t have gone better! Ambrose went over and above in what we expected. We felt safe, we certainly saw way more and enjoyed our trip very much in part due to Ambrose’s expertise and driving skill. We plan on visiting Scotland next fall and will definitely avail of his services.
