Why Go Ireland

Let me start by introducing myself...

My name is Eric Ray and I am originally from Dublin, Ireland. In 2013, I emigrated to the United States and now reside in Holland, Michigan. During the process of relocation, I had a number of people approach me with an interest in visiting Ireland. To fill that demand, I started Go Ireland in 2014.

I have worked the past number of years as a driver/guide giving tours of Ireland, and in my career spanning 25+ years I have never had a job that gives so much satisfaction as introducing travelers to my country. The amazing people I have encountered in this profession are so diverse that some days it does not feel like work at all, just traveling with some new friends and some old.

So why choose Go Ireland?

01 A small company with a personal touch

We keep our groups small, between 6 and 14 people, in order to offer the best experience possible. This means each person can get more personal attention and all tours can be more flexible, staying longer on scene or stopping for photos depending on the group's interests. We think you'll love the benefits of small group travel!

02 Handpicked tours that change each year

No two tours are the same! We expertly craft itineraries each year to showcase the best of what Ireland has to offer. Whether it's your first time traveling with us or you've gone many times before, your experience is sure to be uniquely memorable every time.

03 Off the beaten path

We know you'd rather explore the beautiful scenery and unique destinations than getting lost in a crowd. Therefore, we avoid peak seasons to minimize running into other tour groups. We also go off the beaten track, so you'll see sights other groups miss.

04 We compete because customers keep coming back

Rather than out-gimmick the competition, we would rather build our reputation on our customers' recommendations to their family and friends. Return for another trip, bring some friends, or recommend us to others!
