Perfectly executed tour of Ireland – September 2023

Our AWESOME driver, Michael Buckley, was a perfect match and quickly became part of our family! Always prompt and professional, Michael picked us up at 10 AM each day in a Mercedes van and dropped us off at our hotel about 6PM each evening (sometimes a little later). During the day, he flawlessly handled our itinerary, as well as managing events that required tickets and reservations. We had to switch one day’s events entirely with another due to an illness and Michael handled that perfectly without a hitch. Michael added many interesting places to our itinerary and was always a wealth of Irish knowledge and lore, He even brought us to a quaint Gastropub in Tipperary for lunch on our last day where we were treated like royalty! In the end, we got to do everything we had hoped to and much, much more thanks to Michael (don’t forget to ask Michael to sing “40 Shades of Green” by Johnny Cash!). After Michael dropped us off at our hotel on the last day, all four of us felt sad, as though we were saying goodbye to one of our Family. Michael, thank you so much for making our vacation so wonderful and memorable!

Michael Buckley and Sam Manton, thank you so much for all your efforts in making our vacation so wonderful and memorable! I wish we could give you both more than 5 Stars. We will ask for you both by name on our next trip!
