Muckross House and Gardens, Killarney, Co. Kerry

The trip Lucy planned for us to Ireland was absolutely amazing!  From the start she really listened to what we were looking for and  her  detailed recommendations on what to see as well as where to stay and  even what restaurants to enjoy were perfect.  Lucy’s intimate knowledge of her Irish homeland make her uniquely qualified to  help others discover the best of Ireland.

Our trip to Ireland was absolutely unforgettable!

​

My best friend and I wanted to spend a week driving around Ireland and  exploring the home of our ancestors.  The information that Lucy provided  us was exceptional.  Places to visit, stay and eat....were all  absolutely amazing!  

​

One of our favorite places and first stop that Lucy suggested was  Kinsale, which is the beginning of the Wild Atlantic Way, around the  southern coast of Ireland.  

There we walked the small quaint town of Kinsale, listened to Irish  music in a fantastic pub and gorged ourselves on fresh seafood.  It was  just the beginning of an amazing trip put together by Lucy (who is a  local to Cork) and I wouldn't have had it any other way.  Her insight to the culture, geography and history cannot be  matched, and it would be a shame to miss out on her expertise of such a  beautiful country.

​

Just make sure to book your trip for longer than a week, and do not miss out on Lucy's stellar hospitality and knowledge of Ireland and its amazing people, places and scenery.

Torc Waterfall, Co. Kerry

Lucy coordinated a weeklong trip in Southwest Ireland for us and a few  friends. It was a fabulous vacation. Lucy customized an itinerary for us  to do a driving tour of County Cork and County Kerry. We stayed in  beautiful hotels, ate at fantastic restaurants, visited several picturesque towns like Killarney and Kinsale and covered  popular attractions like Blarney  Castle and the Ring of Kerry. The trip was memorable with the right mix  of sightseeing and downtime to enjoy the stunning scenery and natural beauty that is synonymous with  the Green Isle. Can’t wait to go back and have Lucy help us explore  another part of this beautiful country. 

Classic Guinness Ad. Look out for them all over Ireland

There is no better way to make the most of the Emerald Isle than to leverage Lucy’s expertise.  Having never been to Ireland, we did not know what to expect or what was possible.  Lucy listened carefully to what we want to experience, and helped us create an itinerary that was simply unforgettable.  This was not a trip we could have created by ourselves.  With Lucy’s guidance, for over a week, friends and I found ourselves waking up in luxurious castles, eating delicious meals in the middle of nowhere, and drinking delicious beer in local pubs before retiring for the night in another remarkable venue.

Lucy tailored our visit to Ireland into an unforgettable experience of history, music, art, and cuisine.  The scenery on the drives she selected was simply breathtaking, and the comfort of the B&Bs she found for us was deeply relaxing.  We are going back!
 

Celtic Cross and Round Tower, Kells, Co. Meath

Lucy planned an incredible trip to Ireland for our family. She grew up there and visits frequently so she knows both the popular must-see destinations as well as gems off the beaten path. With kids herself, Lucy is quick with ideas for fun at any age. The restaurants and accommodations she recommended were fabulous. I especially appreciated that she helped us strike a balance between booking in advance, as needed, and leaving time for spontaneous excursions. Throughout the planning process, Lucy communicated frequently and clearly and valued my ideas and requests. Lastly, she has great tips on travel logistics, including the latest air travel requirements, and rental car and train suggestions. If you want to visit Ireland, call Lucy first! 

Rainbow, sheep and forty shades of green - Ireland!

Lucy knows Ireland. Having never researched or set foot in Ireland, Lucy provided my husband and me with a fantastic 10-day itinerary which, with our input, she tailored to suit our interests. She incorporated in the itinerary some of Ireland’s most famous towns and sites, but also sent us to a few “hidden gems” that were charming, interesting, and special. The perfectly-located accommodations recommended by Lucy were top notch and varied – some were quaint and historic and some were well-appointed resorts. She did a great job of communicating with us in planning the trip and offered her assistance during our trip, which was greatly appreciated in case of a travel glitch. Fortunately, because of Lucy’s careful planning, we never had to call on her during our journey.  I have already recommended Lucy to a friend and will not hesitate to recommend her to others!
