Our Story
We’ve been showing people Ireland for almost a decade. Now, it's your turn.
Welcome to Best of Ireland 💚
For many years, we’ve been travelling around Ireland, discovering incredible places, meeting the people who make them special, and sharing our adventures with the world.
What started as a passion for showcasing our little island has grown into one of Ireland’s largest travel communities, with a social media audience of more than one million people across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube.
Every month, millions of people follow along as we explore Ireland and, over the years, we’ve learned a thing or two about what makes a great Irish adventure.
If you're looking for travel inspiration, we highlighy recommend checking out our social channels. We’ve recommended everything from where to stay, where to eat, what to see, which roads are worth taking and, perhaps most importantly, which places cannot be missed.
Our community of over one million people trust us to give honest, valuable recommendations and help them experience the best of Ireland for themselves.

Stress-Free Ireland Travel
Enjoy a carefully planned route with transport, guidance and local recommendations taken care of.
We’re locals. Ireland is our backyard.
One of the biggest advantages of travelling with Best of Ireland is simple: we’re Irish, and we know Ireland.
Founders John & Cathal (pictured here) and our team have travelled to every corner of the island, and our social media pages show just how much time we spend exploring it!
That means our tours aren’t built from a guidebook.
They’re built from years of experience.
We know the famous places that you absolutely should see, but we also know the quiet roads, local businesses, viewpoints, beaches, pubs, castles and hidden gems that can turn a good trip into an unforgettable one.
And because we’re constantly exploring, our recommendations are always evolving.
Our expert guides know Ireland
A great tour is only as good as the person showing you around.
Our Cloverleaf Travel Guides, like Colm here, are all Fáilte Ireland National Tour Guide Approved and bring years of experience in tour guiding and creating unforgettable experiences for visitors to Ireland.
But being a great guide is about more than knowing the history.
It’s about knowing the little things.
The story behind the castle.
The best place to stop for a coffee.
The road with the incredible view.
The pub where the music starts later in the evening.
The local story you won’t find in a guidebook.
Our guides love Ireland, and that passion comes through in the way they show it to you, our guests.
Our Luxury Vehicles
Whether it’s a party of two or a group of 40, we can make sure you travel in style and comfort with our luxury vehicles.
The Mercedes C Class is perfect for a tour of two, the Mercedes V Class and Ford Tourneo minivan are ideal for small groups and then we use coaches for larger groups.
Our driver guide will meet and greet you at your airport or hotel with a smile and a Céad Míle Fáilte (One hundred thousand welcomes). We are all approved and qualified Tour Guides so you know that you are in the capable hands of professionals who will make sure that your Irish adventure is memorable and most enjoyable.
We will throw in a bit of Craic (banter) for good measure along the way too!
So sit back, relax and let Best of Ireland bring you on your Irish tour adventure.
It will be a journey and a memory that you will cherish forever.
