Irish Culture is  precious

It really is impossible to understand Ireland without an introduction to the ingredients of our culture. Irish Language, Myths, Music, Food and Drink, Art, Gaelic Sports, Drama, Singing, Storytelling - these traditions add up to much more than the sum of their parts, and there is so much richness to be mined - and it's not just for nostalgic wallowing, because Irish culture possesses plenty of positive ways of thinking about ourselves and our future.

​All our trips include plenty of immersion in Irish cultural traditions, both by deliberate means through informal classes and guided tours, and also by osmosis, as you will be living in one of the most Gaelic and traditional parts of the Island.

 I am just know going through all of the pictures and reminiscing about what a wonderful trip we had. We appreciate everything you did to make out trip such a wonderful experience.  We loved the history and the sightseeing, but especially the music and folklore. A highlight was being able to see Johnny Gallagher & The Boxtie Band, and the Henry Girls play such good music just for us. 
I just wanted to say that I have great respect for the dedication, pride, and effort you put into your work on our behalf. I am extremely happy to have met you both and sincerely hope that our paths shall cross again some day.
