Butlers put together the absolute perfect itinerary for my family! Everyone at Butlers was a pleasure to work with. Emails were answered promptly and all my questions were throughly answered. Our driver Mick was the best of all!  He was absolutely wonderful and made the entire trip so easy and stress free for myself and my husband.  He had fantastic suggestions for small detours and additions to the plan and took us everywhere we could have possibly wanted to go.  This was especially appreciated on our last day which really was just scheduled to be a straight drive from Galway to Dublin when he suggested stopping at Sean's Bar in Athlone for a pint. It was a fantastic addition and made the last day much more fun and enjoyable. He offered a great running commentary on what we were seeing, giving us information we would never have had otherwise and was very easy to have conversations with.  Honestly, the trip exceeded our expectations and he is a huge part of the reason for that.  Job very well done on his part, and I would recommend Butlers to anyone traveling to Ireland.

After doing a Butler tour, I never want to tour any other way. I went on a big bus tour 18 years ago, and had to sleep the whole time because I get super car sick. This time, it was just my party in a van with our driver and I got to actually see the countryside! They were SUPER accommodating and we were able to pivot when the weather turned on us (only one day, thankfully!). Our driver/guide, Mick, was fantastic. He was able to bring us to less touristy places that really helped make this trip special. Some of the best memories from this trip were the little side quests that we went on, that Mick recommended. Since we did do the super touristy places (cliffs of Moher and Blarney Castle) AND their lesser known counterparts (Cliffs of Kerry and Trim Castle) that I had never heard of before; I can honestly say, I prefer the lesser known places. I’m not sure I would have appreciated them as much as I did without also going to the tourist trap spots, so I certainly don’t regret going. All that to say, I’m so glad that I had a guide that could bring us to and tell us about the areas we actually wanted to see. All of the hotels that we stayed in that were recommended to us, were wonderful. I would honestly recommend this tour company to anyone going to Ireland. They made everything so easy and a delight.

We spent 10 wonderful days traveling around Ireland with our driver, Paul, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Paul was incredibly knowledgeable about Ireland’s rich history, and his stories brought every place we visited to life. He went above and beyond in every way — even helping us track down our ancestors’ home, which was such a special moment for our family. Beyond his professionalism, Paul was an absolute delight to travel with — fun, friendly, and always thoughtful. He made the journey as enjoyable as the destinations themselves. We would absolutely use his services again and highly recommend him and Butler Travel to anyone visiting Ireland. Thank you, Paul, for making our trip truly unforgettable! 🍀
