Ashford Castle
You have rendered me speechless.

No small feat.
Not at all shocking.

Your history is long; your story is grand.
The love and care each of your staff gives, is true and genuine. Year, after year.

You will always be my very favorite.
I am incredibly honored to be a partner with you.

Thank you for taking such great care of me and my amazing clients!

Cheers, Friends 🫶🏼

Our home away from home in Kilkenny has been the no better choice to be in the middle of it all. True is in abundance at this lovely property. The location is tops but it’s the PEOPLE who make this property shine. Thank you for being the most wonderful hosts! You will see us again friends!

Kilkenny | Shenanigans were in play today on our private walking tour with Nevin. Private walking tours are some of the most popular things we book for clients to easily get acclimated to a city. (I do the same for my own family too!) The guides are a wealth of knowledge and provide SO much more than any guide book. Today was no different!
After our morning shenanigans we stopped for a lovely lunch (and a pint) at historic Kytelers inn

Trains are gold in Europe. Such a beautiful and stress-free way to get from city center to city center.

Dublin ☘️ | Today we met up with our small group and hit the ground running! Pub Lunch at Lincoln’s Inn and then it was off on our private walking tour on the south side of the river. Our guide Ronan was amazing (per usual) Oscar Wilde, Trinity College (Visit Trinity ), Parliament to name a few highlights. Then it was time for dinner at Doheny & Nesbitts for stew on this cool evening and a pint.

Our quick time in Dublin is coming to an end as we head out of the city tomorrow! Keep following as we hit the rails!
