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!

Bill R. (Old Forge. NY)

5* Experience

Our golfing trip was very well organized for each of our six golf courses and all of our daily tours.

I can’t say enough about our accommodations and our driver.

I would classify both as a five star experience. I have been on a lot of trips over the years & your tour beats them all!

Sara

A Great Resource

Benny was an amazing resource as we planned our trip. He help guide us in selecting and booking towns to stay in, hotels and a day tour. His recommendations were spot-on. He provided professional and personal customer service.

He also makes planning a little easier, as he is Irish (from Dingle, if I recall correctly), but currently lives in the US. So he and I could communicate in the same business hours without worrying about the time difference or internationally calling.

Jean & John

So Glad We Worked With You

THANKS Benny, our trip was great! We loved Elaine O'Conner and her daughter. Both hotels were great and all tours were fantastic. We loved Ireland and so glad we worked with you and not a group tour.
Thanks for all your advice and planning for us.
Jean and John

Shannon Z

Very responsive and lovely to work with!

Highly recommend to book your next Ireland trip! Benny and Cathy are the best!

They assisted in booking everything we wanted to do, gave amazing recommendations, and last minute helped adjust our itinerary when our original flight was canceled.

We had a seamless and enjoyable trip all thanks to Benny and Cathy!

They are very responsive and lovely to work with!

Dan Z

I knew we had the right people to ensure our comfort and safety during our trip.

"I researched a # of Ireland Tour Companies, but Benny's was able to plan a private tour for our Family of 8 and was flexible in planning our trip with us so we could visit Kilkenny and Roscommon, our ancestry lands.

The majority of trip took us along the Wild Atlantic Way which was exactly what we wanted to see in Ireland.

Our accommodations were lovely and all four-star hotels in the cities of Ennis, Westport, Galway, Dingle and Killarney.

These stays afforded us a great jumping off point to explore all of the sights and sounds of Ireland, too many wonderful experiences to list!

The restaurants and Pubs were all very accommodating for our large group. Some of the Best Seafood we ever had and can't Thank Benny and our Driver John for recommending and securing reservations at "Out of the Blue" in the beautiful town of Dingle, truly amazing!

I knew we were using the right Travel Agent when our original flight to Dublin was canceled. Fortunately, we were able to get the next flight to Shannon Airport, although very frustrating.

That's when Benny and, his wife, Cathy sprang into action! With less than 12 hours' notice and in the middle of the night they were able to get us transportation from Shannon Airport to a Hotel in Ennis. We were able to decompress and enjoy touring Ennis!

I also can't Thank them enough for scheduling our Tour Driver, John Oconner who had unbelievable knowledge of the land and was very flexible to ensure we had the best experience possible!

By the end of the trip, we had all become good friends!!

We highly recommend Benny's Ireland Vacations and will definitely use them in the future! 3 weeks home and already planning our next trip!

Through this experience, Benny and Cathy have become true friends!
