Guided by Local Experts

Our experienced Irish guides are much more than drivers and tour leaders. They are storytellers and local experts with a passion for their homeland. Their knowledge, friendships, and connection to Ireland allow travelers to experience the island in a way that can’t be found in guidebooks. Our guides help transform a vacation into an authentic Irish experience.

Here are just some of the things our guests say about our guides...

Our guide Hugh was outstanding in every way! He provided amazing commentary about what we were seeing, was very attentive to our questions, was very engaging, went out of his way to make every part of the trip convenient and enjoyable for us, and was just great to be around – Kathy 2026 Go South


Our guide Johnny made the trip memorable. His knowledge of history and funny stories kept us entertained – Shelby 2023 Go West


Hugh was beyond GREAT! He was passionate about Ireland. His knowledge of both current and ancient history was fascinating. He has a pleasant personality and took time to know his clients. He was accommodating to individual needs and was a very safe driver – Billy and Valerie 2023 Go North


Hugh had a bright outlook, even when it rained. He was full of knowledge and I enjoyed his commentary. It was great to travel with an expert. He took time to learn about each member of the group and made us feel special. His combination of knowledge and hospitality was perfect – Carolyn 2026 Go South


Neil – fantastic at his job! Knowledgeable, managed the group effectively and efficiently, made sure everyone was well taken care of, and was a tremendous Irish storyteller! You couldn’t have asked for a better guide – a definite keeper!! – 2025 Go West


We have had three guides with Inroads Ireland, Phil, the former owner, Emily, and now Hugh. They have been uniformly excellent and we’d love to travel again with any one of the three – David 2022 Go West


Eamon Hegarty was our guide and he was so knowledgeable and willing to share information with us. This tour was our first but our travel mates who have traveled with a guide on previous trips indicated that he was the best they had ever had. And we can believe it – Carol & Jeff 2022 Go South


Jonny was so knowledgeable and entertaining and looked out for everyone on our tour – our tour had passengers aged 25-75; he was excellent to all & their needs and interests – Maureen 2022 Go South


Jonny – We could not have asked for a better guide! The depth and breadth of the knowledge he shared was amazing. And the stories!! Jonny should write a book! I think we learned everything we possibly could have about everything we saw and every area we passed through. We felt very comfortable with Jonny from the get-go. I also want to personally thank him for helping us out with our luggage. I know that wasn’t part of the deal, but was so very appreciated – Annie 2022 Go South
