Escorted Bus Tours


Customer Testimonials

We experienced the 9-day Ireland Tour with Tim Murphy and Joe Clancy in May of 2008. It was the trip of a lifetime! Everything exceeded our expectations. From the moment we landed in Ireland we felt that we were a part of the Ireland family. The accommodations were phenomenal, the food was fabulous and the entertainment was delightful. The stories and the history that Joe shared with us made our experience complete. His extensive knowledge, beautiful sense of humor and understanding of tourists made him an exceptional host. Our driver, Tim, was incredibly skillful, witty and delightful, making a perfect sidekick for Joe. We had a three generation trip, thank you for making this trip truly a gift for all of us.
