“We traveled on June 7th. This trip was everything we expected and more. Our driver, Peter Murphy, made the cities and the countryside come alive with his narrations. The city tours were very informative and the travel between major cities was made enjoyable with narration and frequent stops at places of interest. Peter kept to a schedule, was always available and served his travelers well. We saw a lot, learned a lot, met some great people, ate some wonderful food and made lasting memories. This was our second trip with smarTours and we highly recommend them.”

“We have just returned from the 12 day Magical Ireland tour with our guide, Peter Murphy. Every part of the trip was great, from the itinerary, hotels, food, and especially our tour director, Peter Murphy. We learned a great deal about Irish history, from the ancient language and burial sites to the hardships of the Great Hunger and the political Troubles which have beseiged this island. Peter was well informed as were the guides we met in Derry, Belfast and Dublin. Our weather was nearly perfect and the scenery, particularly the Dingle Peninsula was breathtaking. We came home full of knowledge thanks to Peter and have adopted many of his unique expressions in our conversation. Everyone on our tour, a most congenial group, seemed upbeat and happy. We would both highly recommend this tour, especially with Peter as your guide!”

“My daughter and I just finished this tour, and we both enjoyed it very much. Our tour guide and driver, Peter Murphy, was excellent. Peter was friendly, humorous, informative and punctual throughout the trip. He helped create a good atmosphere on the trip for everyone. If you go, make sure you ask Peter about swimming sheep. Peter loves questions about sheep!!! The tour is well organized and covers a good variety of sights and history. The hotels (with the exception of the one in Derry) were excellent. The scenery is stunning, and the people of Ireland were always friendly. In short, this was a very good tour.”

“I recently returned from Magical Ireland tour 5/24- 6/5/18. It was beyond expectations. We had a fantastic tour guide, Paul Kealy. Paul really has a passion for Ireland and has a great sense of humor. He explained the complicated history of Ireland and entertained us with jokes and limericks. He is very organized and has a laid back style. He played typical Irish music and explained the various sports played in Ireland. We saw wonderful places like the Cliffs of Moher, Dingle Penisula, and so much more. I really can’t say enough about this fantastic trip to Ireland. I recommend that you go with Paul Kealy as the tour guide.”

“I just returned from Magical Ireland tour 5/24/18-6/5/18. It was a fabulous tour. Our tour director Paul Kealy is an excellent tour guide. He is an awesome storyteller and was so organized. He explained the complicated history of Ireland in a magical and fun way and had a great sense of humor. He entertained us with jokes and limericks and played Irish music for us. It was an action packed tour. He told us where movies were filmed on location in Ireland. Paul has a great love of Ireland and was a fascinating storyteller and an all around great guy. I would definitely recommend this tour. Ireland is beautiful. If you go to Ireland...go with Paul! ??”

“I recently returned from this IRELAND tour and it was absolutely AMAZING! Each local guide was full of knowledge and each town had it's own charm. The free time allotted during the tour allowed us to explore each town on our own which was awesome. Peter Murphy was our driver and tour director and he was ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. I highly recommend going on a tour where Peter is the tour director. Things ran smoothly, he was prompt, very knowledgeable. His humor left us laughing all the time and you could tell he loves his country.”

“I cannot say enough good things about this tour and our tour director Paul. Even the weather cooperated to make this a fantastic time. Our group was small with only 20 people and we bonded and had a grand time. Paul is a store house of knowledge and a true love for his country which he is happy to share with all of us. I learned to much about Ireland and its history and Paul made is so easy. He also has a super sense of humor and had us laughing every day. An absolutely marvelous time!!!!”
