Testimonials



"These tours made us feel closer to being natives, not tourists. There was a wonderful Irish authenticity in the accommodations and our guide's knowledge of the countryside, its history and its magic that would be hard to find in a generic package tour."
                        -- Amanda Hawes and Jane Hawes, San Jose and Berkley, California

"Fiona really responds to her guests' needs. She's flexible, funny and caring."
                        -- Judy Hawes (92 years-young), New Jersey

"I have so many wonderful memories of the tours. You have only to mention places you'd like to see and Fiona will make every effort to not only get you there, but entertain you along the way.  Heartily recommended! I intend to return as soon as I can."
                        -- Lynnda Collins, Atlanta, Georgia

"There’s something truly magical about exploring an Irish forest at twilight with a real-life Druid! Plus, The Road Less Traveled found me accommodation that was clean, comfortable and probably the best deal in Ireland!”
                        -- T.Vest, Sherman Oaks, California

"Visiting Ireland in winter isn’t high on most people's lists of things to do on vacation. But with Fiona as my trusty inn-keep and guide I was able to discover an Ireland that was reliably green, refreshingly empty, ruggedly desolate and richly beautiful. Fiona instantly made me feel at home and directed me to tasteful and cozy accommodations while generously sharing her discoveries of magical roads less traveled."
                        -- Rick Hupp, West Hills, California

"I had a fantastic time! From the moment I arrived to the minute I left, my guide was a great host and full of knowledge about Galway and the surrounding countryside. My holiday wouldn't have been the same without Fiona there and it was wonderful being taken around some of the beautiful landscapes with her giving me commentary on the history of the place. I really can't recommend her enough. A most enjoyable experience all round!"
                        -- Mike Robson, Aberdeen, Scotland

"This was a great experience in the middle of cows, dogs and sheep and I have pictures that are a great reminder of the beauty I was right smack dab in the middle of! The tour was adjusted to my pace, which I appreciated, and I was quite glad to be directed to spend the last night in Shannon before an early departure. Thank you for the suggestion!"
