We’ve been showing people Ireland for almost a decade.

Now, we get to show you around in person.

Welcome to Best of Ireland 💚

For almost a decade, 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, from the famous landmarks and breathtaking landscapes to the little cafés, pubs, villages, hidden gems and local experiences that you might otherwise drive straight past.

And after almost a decade of doing this, we’ve learned a thing or two about what makes a great Irish adventure.

Now, we want to share that experience with you.

-

For years, we’ve helped people plan their trips to Ireland through our social media channels.

We’ve recommended where to stay, where to eat, what to see, which roads are worth taking and, perhaps most importantly, which places are actually worth your time.

We’ve built a community of people who trust us to give honest recommendations and help them experience Ireland beyond the usual tourist trail.

Best of Ireland Tours is the next step.

Instead of simply telling you where to go, we can now take you there.

You don’t have to worry about navigating unfamiliar roads, figuring out where to stop, finding the best places to eat or trying to squeeze everything into an itinerary that doesn’t quite work.

We’ve done the exploring. We know the roads. We know the places. And now we’re delighted to be able to bring you along for the journey.

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.

Our team has travelled to every corner of the island, and our social media pages are proof of just how much time we spend exploring it.

From the Wild Atlantic Way to the Ancient East, from the Causeway Coast to Cork, Kerry, Galway, Mayo, Donegal and everywhere in between, we’re constantly on the road looking for the next great place to visit.

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 and hidden gems that can turn a good trip into an unforgettable one.

And because we’re constantly exploring, our recommendations are always evolving.

A million people can’t be wrong... can they?

Over the years, more than one million people have chosen to follow our adventures online.

That means every day we get messages from people around the world asking us the same thing:

“Where should we go?”

“What should we see?”

“Where should we eat?”

“Is this place worth visiting?”

We take that trust seriously.

We know that when someone follows Best of Ireland, they’re often planning a once-in-a-lifetime trip. They might be travelling thousands of kilometres to get here, and they want to make every day count.

That’s why we’ve always tried to keep our recommendations honest, useful and genuinely worth your time.

We’re not interested in simply ticking attractions off a list.

We want you to experience the Ireland that we love.

The best of Ireland, without the stress

We know that planning a trip around Ireland can be exciting.

It can also be a lot of work.

Driving on the other side of the road. Narrow country lanes. Figuring out where to stop. Working out how long everything actually takes. Finding somewhere good for lunch. Booking accommodation. Keeping everyone happy.

That’s where we come in.

Whether you join one of our small group tours or book a private, custom-designed experience, we take care of the logistics so you can concentrate on enjoying Ireland.

Our tours are designed around the things that make travelling around Ireland so special: great scenery, fascinating history, brilliant food, local culture, friendly people and plenty of time to enjoy the journey along the way.

Because getting there is part of the experience too.

Small groups. Big experiences.

We believe Ireland is best experienced in a small group.

Small groups allow us to get off the beaten track, travel roads that larger coaches simply can't, stop when we find somewhere worth exploring and give you a much more personal experience.

There’s more flexibility.

More time to ask questions.

More opportunities to chat with your guide.

And more chances to discover those little places that you would never find on a traditional coach tour.

Whether you’re travelling with a handful of new friends or bringing your own group of family and friends, we want every tour to feel personal.

Your Ireland. Your way.

Not everyone wants the same Irish holiday.

Some people want to see as much of the island as possible. Others want to slow things down and spend more time in a particular region.

Some want castles, history and culture. Others want dramatic coastlines, hiking, food, music and pubs.

And some people simply want to see the places they’ve been following on Best of Ireland for years.

That’s why we offer both small group and private custom tours.

Our private tours can be built around your interests, your pace and the places you want to experience. You tell us what you’re looking for, and we’ll use our years of local knowledge to create an unforgettable itinerary.

Your guides know Ireland

A great tour is only as good as the person showing you around.

Our guides are all Fáilte Ireland 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 our guests.

We want you to love Ireland as much as we do.

That’s really what Best of Ireland Tours is all about.

After almost a decade of exploring Ireland and sharing it with millions of people online, we know just how much there is to see here.

And we’re still discovering new places all the time.

We’re proud to be a local Irish business, and we’re incredibly excited to welcome visitors from all over the world and show them the country we’re lucky enough to call home.

So whether you’re joining one of our small group tours, planning a private adventure with family and friends, or simply looking for some inspiration for your next trip, we’re here to help.

Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube to see where we’re exploring next.

And when you’re ready to experience Ireland for yourself, come and explore it with us.

We’ll show you the Best of Ireland.
