Wonderful Assiatance!

"Hi Benny, Just a short note from the airport, to confirm that everything went well and we really enjoyed the journey.

Thanks a lot for your wonderful assistance."

Richard O. (NY)

Well Above Our Expectations!

"Benny, I just wanted to take moment to thank you for putting together a wonderful golf vacation for us earlier this month.

We had a truly great time every step of the way. The courses, the hotel and even the weather were well above our expectations.

High praise for Kieran and James. Both were fully committed to seeing that everything went as planned and were gracious enough to laugh at all of our jokes and stories.

Meeting your friend Sean and enjoying his first rate presentation of Irish dance and music, Celtic Steps, was an unexpected treat.

All in all, I cannot think of a single thing that might need improvement. You can be certain that we will sing your praises far and wide.

A number of friends have expressed interest in similar adventures.".

Dick O (Syracuse)

A Happy Golfer!

"Tralee alone is worth traveling to Ireland for a few rounds of golf.

Benny will put together a golf vacation that will knock your socks off".

Fred & Vanessa (FL)

Your Contacts & Input Were Invaluable!

"Hi Benny, it was truly the trip of a lifetime that we would never have been able to schedule without your assistance. Upon arrival we realized that your contacts & input were invaluable.

We were able to experience so many things that showed us the best of both city & rural aspects of Irish life.

From looking the wrong way in Dublin & almost walking in front of a bus, to holding a baby goat in a beehive hut on the way to the Dingle Peninsula, we really covered it all.

We are sure that people who want to take advantage of your unique ability to fashion an amazing Irish experience, will without doubt, be further enriched."

Sky F (TX)

Outstanding Trip!

Benny was amazing! We contacted him at around the first of the year and asked him to put together a custom trip for our family of 12. With 2 daughters in law, a granddaughter aged 1, and great grandmother age 82, we didn’t want to tour the country in 3 crowded rental cars! Benny not only secured a very knowledgeable driver, and a very spacious 16 passenger bus, but also reserved hotels and assisted with travel insurance. He sent us an itinerary and let us fill in the rest with the sights we wanted to see. It was perfect for this family. I would definitely recommend him to others!
