Relaxed Unique Tours of the Republic of Ireland!

Brilliant Guides of the Republic of Ireland!

Greetings!  We are pleased you are planning on touring the Republic of Ireland with us!  Each Irish Byways group is led by brilliant guides with thorough knowledge of the areas covered by the tours. Dave Hogan, our guide for “Landscape & Lore, Music & Myth” and also our “University Study Tour”, leads us into the remote and largely untouched region known as Connemara.  Our overnights will be primarily in the Clifden on the Atlantic coast. Here we travel through three counties of geological and historical significance: Clare, Galway and Mayo.

Garry Jones, Kate Hennessy and Timothy Dobson, our guides for “Pilgrimage to the Otherworld”, take us on a spiritual journey to significant sacred sites through the center of Ireland including Counties of Clare, Galway, Mayo, Offaly, Westmeath, Meath, Longford, Roscommon, and Sligo.

Follow your Heart… Find yourself in Ireland
In the past five years, tour manager, Carolyn Germaine, has welcomed many travelers to the tours.  Their testimonies, including published poetry, journal articles, and paintings reflect the depth of their
experience.  All tours offer a relaxed pace with typical days beginning about 10 a.m. and daily excursions often ending by 5 p.m.  We have been told repeatedly that the pace is just right. We think so too and welcome your decision to journey with us!

“A tour with Irish Byways is a special experience.  This company puts together the very best people to give the visitor to Ireland a real sense of the land and its history, culture, and present energy.  Time is a magical commodity, respected and relaxed, without any feeling either of “hurry hurry” or of pointlessness.  The guides know the land and its lore, and they know how to share these openly and comfortably with others.”
