Participant Feedback

I so enjoyed my trip with your company.
Mary and Frank were the best team one could imagine to be part of, they went over and beyond our expectations.
Looking forward to sharing another tour with you again. Hopefully in the near future.

Lorraine Pullen

I had a great time on the tour. I enjoyed it so much I would love to do another!
Mary, our guide and Frank our driver were both fabulous and I really enjoyed the workshops.
It was the first organised tour I had ever been on and it was better than I expected

Katrina Donnellon

I just finished my first trip to Ireland and it was all and more than I expected. It was so comforting to be met at the airport. I can't express strongly enough what a wonderful guide we had for this trip. The group asked me to share that the tour guide, Jane Horgan, and the driver, John were absolutely perfect. We thank you for giving us the "A" team for the tour.

Mazie Chauvin

What a fantastic tour! Our tour director Jane Horgan was truly a gem! She was friendly, funny, entertaining and thoroughly skilled at keeping our group informed of all details of our tour. I would love to partake in the Southern Ireland tour in perhaps another year or two, particularly if Jane were to be available as our guide once again.

Debra Smith

It was an absolutely wonderful trip! I enjoyed everything we did, especially the Aran Islands. I loved the trip, and I thank Irish Tourism for a fine job.

Linda Summer

Just want to let you know how much I enjoyed the recent Northern Ireland Knitting Tour. I thought it was the perfect combination of knitting workshops and sightseeing. Mary Lavery, our guide, and Bert, our driver, were both helpful and full of information. Not to mention the great group of ladies on the tour. I hope to return for the Southern Tour one day.

Myrna Stephens

It was a fabulous wonderful well-organized trip!! I enjoyed the classes, finished all my projects. The guide and driver were excellent and loads of fun. Food was good, but the portions were a bit too large. As a "techno-idiot" I have no photos to post. It was a great trip and will probably do another, perhaps the southern loop, in the next year or so.

Monica Larson

It was an absolutely PERFECT trip for my friends Jessica Szabo, Amanda Roth, and I - we truly COULD. NOT. BE. more pleased than we are!!! AGAIN - we truly cannot tell you how over the moon happy we all were with this trip - so much so that we were already inquiring about next May's Southern Ireland knitting tour LITERALLY before the wheels of the plane left the ground to depart from Dublin!!!!!

Missy Shumaker

My cousin and I had a wonderful time seeing new sites, meeting friendly people and learning new skills! Thanks to all in your company for putting together such a great time.
