My first aborted trip was unfortunately March 2020. I couldn't wait to go back and see so many things I had missed. Our guide and driver was the incomparable Don Dowling. I don't know how I'll ever be able to do a "big" tour. This trip was so personalized, such a love letter to Ireland, the people, the land, the history. It was more than I could have wished for. Thank you.

Niall (Caddie Tours) always creates a great trip for our group and our driver/guide Don never dissapoints in giving us a personalized experience.

Such a great trip! We were well taken care of by everyone from Caddie Tours. The in country contacts were fantastic. Every experience was so fun and entertaining. We did it all, from food, to music, to exploring irish crafts and craftsmanship.
The accommodations were lovely. The food was fantastic! Our itinerary was very bespoke and every detail was taken care of. Looking forward to our next trip!

We had a wonderful time on the tour.  The people in the group were very friendly, and it was fun getting to know them. The attractions were diverse, easy to get around and very interesting. Andy's shows were great and we really enjoyed the guest musicians he included. We liked the hotels and especially the fact that we stayed at each one for 3 nights which reduced the need to continuously pack and unpack. Would definitely do another similar tour.
