Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Paula was marvelous. We started planning a trip before covid hit. Naturally, we had to cancel. Paula was wonderful and made the process seamless. When covid started to lift (and we needed to use our airline tickets) we contacted Paula again like an old friend.

Paula was thorough, efficient, responsive, and flexible. She was always making herself available and easy to contact. There were absolutely no "glitches" in our trip. Every connection and reservation was prompt and we were greeted like family everywhere. Paula and the individuals that she recommended were extremely knowledgeable about everything Ireland can offer and they displayed a sixth sense about what we might enjoy, thereby guiding us along the perfect routes.

In addition to the normal travel connections and accommodations, Paula made sure we received up-to-date information about covid testing and the means to get tested before our return to the USA.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

The scenery, of course, we were blessed with very good weather, we took loads of pictures, and I wish I could upload everyone!

We were very lucky that Paula connected us with Ena for a walking tour in Dublin. This was one of the highlights of the trip.

Ena was a wealth and depth of knowledge about Irish history, art, and architecture the tour was fascinating and invigorating. I think we could have taken a short tour every day for a week around different parts of Dublin and we would never have gotten bored.

The other star of our trip was Don, our driver. Here is the note we sent to Don when our travels had ended:

Don,

We wish to thank you again for your guidance, patience, and professionalism. Your kindness meant a lot to us. No one else would have tried to look up the Leary name and help us find pieces of our heritage. You listened and bent over backward to make our trip memorable. Not only that, but you gave us so much insight into Ireland, its language, and its culture.

We SO enjoyed your company and wish you all the best.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

I would follow Paula's advice! We wanted to give my brother a tour of Ireland since he had never been. Our time was limited and we tried to squeeze so much into 7 or 8 days!

Paula gently cautioned that our plan was very ambitious. She made sure that we at least had two nights in one location. Yes, of course, Paula was correct and we should have pared down our travels and taken more time to enjoy each stop on our trip. Even so, thanks to Paula and her team, we had an absolutely lovely and oh so memorable trip!
