  • On our recent visit to Ireland we found many Irish surprises and treasures. None were more valuable to the success of our trip than Trudy and her team. Before our trip I was skeptical of the need for a guide. Before we were even out of the airport it was already obvious we were in for a great time with Trudy. Over the course of the next 6 days we were treated like family. We were taken to so many beautiful, exciting and fun places that we would never have heard of or found without the local knowledge and contacts that Trudy has. I am no longer skeptical…We arrived and met our guide, but left Ireland with a new friend. I wish there were more that 5 stars to leave. I cannot recommend Trudy and her team enough.

  • We had an amazing time with our tour guide, Trudy. She made our trip an experience of a lifetime. We shared with her a few places we wanted to see in Ireland, and she made it all happen, and then some. Fairy trees, Corkscrew Road, the Burren, Matchmaker Hotel, Tabletop Mountain, Ashford Castle and the Abbey in Cong filled our trip with so much more than we imagined. Trudy was so knowledgeable and entertaining. We felt like she was part of our family. We laughed together, shared stories, and travelled the countryside in style. She made sure we had a wonderful time. Every aspect of our trip was personalized. We highly recommend travelling with Trudy for anyone who wants to experience the best of Ireland with a friendly and professional guide. We all enjoyed our time together and we are very grateful for her guidance, expertise and of course the laughter.

  • My family just returned from a wonderful trip of 8 days with Trudy in October, 2023. ​Trudy tailored​ / customized the trip perfectly so that we enjoyed the things we set out to experience, and also to delight in surprise places and activities that she wanted to show us. Our family of eight rode with Trudy in her 9-passenger van, which she ​safely and expertly drove on the narrow ​and tricky lanes of the Irish countryside. Trudy has a great sense of humor and ability to impart her deep knowledge of Irish history and culture. She’s a joy to spend time with. It would take too long to do justice to all the ways that Trudy goes above and beyond.

  • IOur family group of eight booked a trip with Experiencing Ireland, hoping for a small, personalized tour in which we would visit our family roots in Offaly, and venture west to Galway and Connemara, the Dingle Peninsula and Kerry/Killarney. Not only did we see amazing scenery along the way, but Trudy had suggested some wonderful experiences, including a sheepdog demonstration in Connemara, the Wild Birds of Prey and Ailwee Caves, the beehive huts and baby lambs of Dingle and many, many more. We visited pubs and restaurants and national parks. It was an absolutely delightful experience! Trudy is also a seasoned genealogist and had traced our family to a particular area, where we met cousins and saw what had once been our family homestead. Highly recommend!

  • Trudy organized a fabulous private 4-day tour to Northern Ireland., including various sections of Belfast, Braavos Canal (Game of thrones filming), Ballymena, Cushendun caves, Kinbane castle and lovely lunch in Ballycastle, Dunseverick Castle. Then spent a beautiful day touring Derry (Londonderry) walked the Strand and toured the “Derry Walls” and City Centre. Then off to Dobegal. Such an amazing adventure and we had so much fun while gaining such great information about each area and its story. The accommodations she secured were fabulous and the cost was very reasonable, we got so much more than we paid for. Would absolutely use Trudy again (and I have!). Thank you Trudy.

  • I and four others, just finished a 7 day Wild Atlantic Way tour with Trudy and it went beyond our expectations. Along with what she planned based on what we wanted to see, each day had a surprise she had planned. By the end of the trip she was one of us. For me there is no other way to really see Ireland, than with Trudy!
