Traveling in Ireland Tours

Have you been searching for an Ireland tour unlike any other?

  • A tour that blends Ireland’s must-see sights with moments most travelers never know to look for.
  • A tour that is relaxed, responsive, and built for the kind of travel that follows curiosity – not a clock.
  • A tour that is small enough to feel like a private adventure, crafted for travelers who want more than the standard sights.

She crafts her tours with trusted connections, local favorites, and the kind of behind-the-scenes access that turns a good trip into something extraordinary.

She’s done the hard part. All you have to do is come along and step into a journey where stories unfold, laughter lingers, and a little Irish magic is always just around the bend.

I'd Definitely Go Again!

I so enjoyed everyone that was on our trip and I particularly liked having a small group. Having been on tours before with large busses full of people, I’ll only go with small groups from now on. Much, much better! Every place we visited was delightful. In thinking on all of it, my very favorites were the distillery tour/tasting, and the herding dog demonstration. I’d definitely do the entire trip again, but especially those two things.

Small Group Tour

We recently returned from our first long trip to Ireland and can't recommend this service enough! We had a small group tour filled with the most wonderful people. Jody was a fount of knowledge on all things Ireland and took great care to ensure that we were able to enjoy a stress-free VACATION. Her recommendations were spot-on and the pace of the trip was just right. We're so thankful that we trusted her with our vacation and would do it all again in a heartbeat.

First trip to Ireland

Anne and I can not thank Jody enough for making our first trip to Ireland so interesting, fun and memorable. If you want a relaxing, carefree, interesting, informative and fun time I couldn’t think of anyone better than Jody.

Wonderful Experience!

Jody is so knowledgeable she makes everything you see come to life. She curated places and activities that were fun and beautiful and the food was amazing (castles, cliffs, and craic)! Highly recommend.

If You Can’t Travel with Me, Here’s Who I Recommend

My tours are intentionally small and limited—crafted with care and only offered a few times each year. That means space fills quickly, and sometimes the dates just don’t work.

If that’s the case, don’t give up on your dream Ireland adventure. I only recommend tours that align with my standards—thoughtful itineraries, expert guides, and meaningful experiences.

Here are a few group tours I trust and happily recommend:

Can't Imagine a Better Week

The experience was carefully balanced among history, art and music, great food, culture, and geography. The combination of guide Jody and driver Paul was amazing. We can’t imagine a week better spent.

Amazing Trip!

So glad we decided to take a trip to Ireland with Jody. Her knowledge of the history and the sites made the experience so much better vs going on our own. The food, lodging, castles, and more were amazing. Highly recommend using her services if you’re planning a trip.

Truly enjoyed the experience!

Thank you for the incredible tour! We truly enjoyed the experience! When we visit Ireland again (notice I say “when” not “if”), I will most certainly choose one of your tours.
