Dia Dhuit!

When you travel with Irish Byways you receive exceptional and personalized care as you are taken into the heart of Ireland by brilliant guides who know well the Irish landscape, lore, music and myth.

We make sure that your experience of Ireland is mostly off-the-bus and that you are given the opportunity for intimate meetings with authors, storytellers, artists and musicians. 

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! 

As you browse our website, we invite you into a multitude of testimonials through our photo gallery of previous tours with travelers who have documented their experience through photography, published poetry, journal articles and paintings which reflect the depth of their experience.

“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.”
--Anna H., University Study Tour traveller

This is why you came to Ireland: to be off the bus, free to roam at your own pace, meeting local personalities while marveling at the landscape which inspired saints and scholars.
This is why you came to Ireland: to be surrounded by the music, to listen to storytellers, and meet personally with artists, authors and historians.
This is why you came to Ireland: to relax at the local pub at the close of each day, sharing the humor of the Irish perspective
This is why you came to Ireland: to be filled with memories of your own unique stories of Ireland

Follow your Heart… Find yourself in Ireland
