As with all our tours, we are delighted to customize this itinerary with alternative accommodations and special sightseeing requests. It is important to note that the driver guide will advise each evening regarding what will work best for the following day's activities. Weather conditions and incorporating additional sightseeing changes the itinerary. We advise our clients to trust the driver's intuition. They will get to know your preferences quickly and insightfully! Our driver guides want your experience to be memorable and will endeavor to include as much as possible within reason.

Sinead, We loved your beautiful country and the friendly people who live there. Thank you for all your effort to plan such a great trip for us.

Kris and I wanted to thank you and your team for helping us plan a spectacular trip. Since arriving home a few days ago, the whole family has been "on a high" thinking about our trip to Ireland and the memories we created. Unforgettable!&n

Good Afternoon Garreth, We are back safe and sound, we cannot begin to tell you how wonderful the trip was. Eamon as our private tour guide/driver was exceptional.We all agree that if we would have ventured on our own,we would

I know we were covering a lot of ground, but having the flexibility afforded to us with a driver was just what we needed. Paddys knowledge of Ireland and its history is impressive.

Five Star Enchanting Ireland April 2011 Tour

We had an absolutely fabulous vacation. Every one of the guys commented that they could not have imagined a better trip.

As a previous visitor to Ireland I didn think our vacation would get any better until we met Sinead and Eamon.

Private Enchanting Ireland Tour May 2011Thank you for arranging a special time for our tour that worked so well with our scheduled trip to The Netherlands.

We are home from our great trip to Ireland.

My Wife and I have returned home from a much too short vacation in your beautiful country. Emerald Elite is the primary reason time flew by so quickly because the entire time we were there everything was arranged so expertly that we could relax.

I thank you and staff for making the trip a reality.

Eamon was absolutely fantastic he really made our trip unforgettable.

He made our trip unforgettable.

We are definitely planning another trip to Ireland.

I can begin to express how lovely our trip to Ireland was. I appreciate all you did to put this together at the last minute in timing for us. Karen Broome.

Thank you again to all of Emerald Elite, but particularly to Sinead and Paul for making our stay in Ireland one that we will never forget.

Thanks for the flexibility shown to deal with the changes - it reflected well on your services.

There is absolutely no way our tour could have been any more delightful, informative or pleasurable. I thank you all for the great opportunity to experience Ireland with such a kind, knowledgeable guide.

Our driver was Paul McGlinchey and I don think there is much about Ireland or its history that he doesn know. He simply made the trip for the 7 of us.

You really showed them everything and without you the trip just would not have been the same. You are a true gem for Ireland.

Our trip to Ireland was one of the best holidays we have ever had, what a beautiful country Ireland is and we feel we saw the most and best of it because of you were our guide, driver, and entertainment.

Your attention to the smallest of details and Pauls professional but warm work ethics allowed us to completely relax and enjoy our vacation.

No one could think ahead as you and plan behind the scenes so flawlessly. Everything youve chosen for us to do has been awesome, suited to our special needs.

We are all so happy we choose to take a chauffeured tour, with only the six of us we were able to pick and choose the sites we wanted to see and the times spent at each, we could never take a large coach tour again.

You transformed what could have been a "standard" chauffeured tour of Ireland into a memorable experience.

Meeting all the people that you introduced us to and taking us to places off the beaten track made it a trip of a lifetime

Your thorough knowledge or Ireland, your professionalism and timely communication were exactly what I needed to put this trip together with the budget of the family and the areas of Ireland they wanted to experience.

He never tried to insist we do things, only to offer a menu from which we could fill the day. He suggested ideas as to sights, pubs and restaurants and soon grew to know our tastes and expectations.

Your drivers were very courteous, and accommodating to our last minute flight delays/changes.

As Travel & Leisure Magazine’s Ireland Specialist, I sell Ireland every day and many of my clients I do not know personally. I have to get a feel for what they are like from emails and phone conversations. I know I can work with Dermot to figure ou

Not only did he make sure that the car was immaculately prepared each day and effortlessly drive us through rain, traffic and small country roads, but he was also extremely knowledgeable about history/culture and flexible in conforming our schedule to

From the pristine condition of our vehicle, the wonderful accommodations and the grand golf courses suggested by you, the entire program was excellent.

Of course, we could not have asked for a better guide than Paudy. He tailored the tour to our interests at every opportunity, making suggestions all along the way, as he got to know us and our areas of interest. Paudy had so much great information to s

His knowledge and insights of the Irish history and people were outstanding. He made the tour a very memorable and pleasurable one.

We cannot imagine having seen the real Ireland, without your expertise, experience and expediency.

Paudy saved the day by rigging his charger to charge my camera batteries. I would have missed so many memories without his efforts. His love and pride of the Emerald was always evident which helped us understand her history.

EVERYTHING WAS HANDLED WITH CLASS AND YOU ENABLED US TO SEE ALL THE "MUST DOS" ON OUR LIST AND THEN SOME. WE HIT THE JACKPOT WITH OUR DRIVER/GUIDE, PADDY KAVANAGH.

We appreciate all of your correspondences prior to our trip in answering our questions. It was very helpful. We would highly recommend your services to others.

The ONeil family cannot say enough about how wonderful our trip was and how grateful we are to Emerald Elite

From the moment we stepped off the plane to the time we headed back home we all experienced a trip of a lifetime.

It was also a pleasure running into you and being able to talk and put a face with a voice. Your company is extremely professional and it was a pleasure dealing with you.

We could not be more pleased with our whole tour, and that is no exaggeration. Paddy was a perfect fit for all members of our team. We loved his humor, candor and knowledge, just everything.

We will recommend Emerald Elite to all of our friends who might be visiting Ireland and I am calling our travel agent today to recommend that she mention your company to her clients.

Frank turned out to be an experienced driver, but what is more, he was the best guide you could think of: a "bundle of knowledge", full of love for his country

When the weather wasn perfect he shifted our itinerary without compromising the sights we wanted to see. He was able to get us hotel room upgrades and was wonderful at recommending the right shops and restaurants for us.

Best trip I have ever taken!

What a spectacular trip. As usual the sights of Ireland were only exceededby the people.

The trip was absolutely perfect and planned wonderfully. I felt a lot of pressure to ensure the trip was perfect for our group of 14 as I was the one organizing everything.

He was a delight to our children regaling them with folktales and geography lessons. The children look forward everyday to their next tale often begging for another story. He also fulfilled the adults desire of history, culture, and interes

We feel that we’ve learned a lot about Ireland and its history, culture, and people during our short stay.

We saw an Ireland that only the locals know and were always in the right restaurant or pub to fit the occasion. We could sit back and enjoy the scenery and not worry about whether we were going in the right direction.

We want to convey our personal thanks to everyone at Emerald Elite that helped to make our tour, a true trip of a lifetime.

Barry was a terrific guide and the kids really connected with him. He was the perfect choice for our tour.

I will share the story of Emerald Custom Tours and Mick Mulchay with all my friends and business associates

Thanks to you, as well, Sinead, for all your hard work planning the trip and meeting with us at the end. It was wonderful to see you in person!

Just wanted to thank you and your company for the great week we had while we were in Ireland.

We truly enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you for everything.

Thank you for planning and delivering an outstanding trip for our family.

The trip was fantastic. It was truly a special experience.

Thank you for the professional services that you provided for my family on our trip through Ireland. Not only were we provided an excellent driver but also an entertainer - at no additional cost.

Everyone at Emerald was wonderful and friendly and made us feel welcome. Ireland is such a beautiful place and renewed my Irish pride for sure.

Steve and I are so enamoured with Ireland that we decided we would definitely return.

The trip planning and accommodations were up to our expectations and we were very satisfied with your services.
