Dear Conn, To say we  thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Ireland is an understatement! John Carew is to be commended for going above and beyond the service of a driver guide...from tending Katie while we were stuck in Heathrow, hunting down our luggage, showing us the most beautiful scenery we could ask for (we haven’t seen anything yet), and truly listening and picking up on the nuances of what would truly make our trip’s dreams come true...asking a local if Katie and I could hold one of his lambs, hunting down all the Quiet Man sites for Al and in the end, even finding a puffin riding on a sheep for me, and much much more! John made our trip and was great craic! We’re honored, now, to count him as a friend and hope he feels the same about us. Conn, you put together a great tour for us and we are most appreciative. Again, we had such an enjoyable time.
Thank you and slán! The Grinsell Clan, Reno, NV

Conn, Thanks again for such a outstanding 3 weeks in Ireland. We had the most wonderful experience seeing the country side and non tourist areas. Of course our driver-guide, Philip Smith, added a lot to that experience. We hope to plan another trip in 2 years and will contact you with details later.
John and Mary Schmidt, Tucson, AZ

Conn, I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. Things have been so busy since coming back from vacation that I have not even had two minutes to myself!!
First, it was wonderful working with you to get our trip planned to Ireland! My mom, sisters, niece and myself could not have asked for a better experience!! The trip was fantastic and we have decided that the private tour was definitely the way to go!! We will travel like this again!! My niece loved the “Kocer Group” sign at the airport in Dublin. She thought we were pretty special!! I loved it too!!.......Second, Phillip was tremendous!! We had so much fun with him and he “gave” it right back to us. He was a pleasure to talk with and drive with during our travels! He had so much knowledge of the area and knew additional stops to make to enhance our schedule!! We Loved Him!! .......Third, it was a pleasure meeting you at lunch during our tour. It is always great to put a face to a name and voice. Thank you for taking such good care of us!!! ......When we go back to Ireland someday, we will definitely be in touch. Thank you again for working with us so diligently to get us to where we wanted to go. It meant the world to me and to my family to get this experience with Mom again. We will treasure it always!!

"Whether it's your first trip to Ireland, or as in our case, the fourth, there is no better way to see the Emerald Isle than with the expert guidance of Conn O'Scannlain. With impeccable detail, he arranged each of our visits to accommodate every place we wanted to see with the best use of time and ease of travel. Each day was mapped out with clear directions and optional sites along the way. The lovely castles and manor houses awaiting us at the end of each day were beautiful, welcoming and relaxing. Because Conn is so respected and renowned as a tour planner in Ireland, the owners and managers of each establishment we visited treated us like royalty. Before you even leave home, you will have in hand a detailed itinerary, pictures of your accommodations and vouchers to facilitate each accommodation and attraction. It is an amazingly wonderful way to see an amazingly beautiful country!"
Pat and Karen Dempsey, Scranton, PA

"Peter and I had a wonderful time in Ireland. Your guidance, suggestions and itinerary helped tremendously. First, you were very responsive in our planning. By the time we left, I knew we were in good hands. Your preparation materials were invaluable. With them, we felt comfortable heading out into the unknown! The hotels and restaurants you chose were terrific, as was the drive to Clifden, Cliffs of Moher, and the stops along the way. Fintan, the taxi driver, was super – he was conscientious, on time and very responsive. This is a great addition to your service. We never worried about transportation and felt comfortable calling him when we got lost or needed assistance. Another nice touch was the 'batphone.' We will gladly refer your service to those considering traveling to Ireland. ”
Moinca Wooten & Peter Kelly, New York City

"I want to thank you for doing such a great job in putting together our stay in Ireland. The itinerary was well planned and thought out, and just fabulous. Your selection of B&B's were excellent. The accommodations, hospitality, comfort and breakfast all rate a 10 out of 10. We got to see many attractions along the most beautiful breathtaking scenic drive I have ever seen. We took many pictures to share with family members back home. I will treasure these memories forever. Conn, we could not have seen what we did on this trip without your help. I will highly recommend your services to anyone traveling to Ireland.”
