Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A private driver, itinerary, admission to many sights and accommodations were arranged by Maria of Journey through Ireland. Maria’s planning was perfect as we saw many parts of Ireland; scenery, people and experiences. Our driver, Seamus was a very pleasant surprise. We did not know what to expect, but he delivered excellent driving skills (lots of rain), a superlative knowledge of our road trip and lively interaction with each of the 6 travelers.

I would highly recommend to anyone the services of Maria and Seamus.

We had a 12 day private tour. There were 6 of us & it was fantastic. Maria of JTI planned the whole trip for us. We communicated back and forth to make sure we had exactly what we wanted. She did a wonderful job. Seamus was our driver/guide & I can’t say enough about him and how wonderful he was. He has become a great friend. We had a 16 passenger van - which meant we could stretch out. This trip just cost us a little bit more than if we had gone on a standard small group tour. If you are at all interested in seeing all of Ireland- contact this company. They are outstanding

Lisa from JTI helped us plan an unforgettable trip for our 15th wedding anniversary. We travelled to Ireland for 10 days in the beginning of October 2023. She listened to what we wanted and planned a trip that exceeded our expectations. She was easy to work with and helped make last minute changes to our itinerary during our trip. We had to adjust our itinerary last minute due to a local event but she handled everything and made it a smooth process! Had she not been on top of things, we wouldn't have known the change was needed and could have derailed our plans for multiple days.
She had excellent communication with us before, during and after our trip. If we travel to Ireland, we will definitely ask Lisa to assist us in planning again, and we will recommend her to any friends and family.

From the first communication with Maria from Journey Through Ireland through the completion of our trip, I couldn't have been more satisfied with the service and almost immediate responses (after-hours and weekends too, and real-time during our trip). Maria was kind and helpful and thorough and patient as my group tried to decide on the travel/excursion options that Maria offered to us. Emails and vouchers and payment information and excursion information was timely and extremely helpful. Maria booked a 3rd party private tour company for us, and acted as communication liaison in order to ensure that our trip went off without a hitch. She also checked in regularly during our trip and helped us with some real-time customizations of our itinerary. Our group couldn't have been more pleased with Maria and Journey Through Ireland. I highly recommend them. This trip was a long-time dream come true for me, and it was everything I had hoped for. Thank you.

The trip was wonderful! Maria did a fantastic job of planning out our 5 days in London. It took out the stress of where to go for first time visiting London and Ireland. In Ireland the day trip to the Cliffs of Moher was everything I thought it would be. Mick our driver was great. He took us to several off the beaten path towns, we got to have a little taste of Ireland. Hope to come back one day. I recommend her highly. Thank you for such a great experience.

The trip was incredible, Ireland is a very beautiful country. We got to experience Dublin, Belfast, Killarney, Cliffs of Moher, Galway, the Ring of Kerry, Giants Causeway and much more. We never had any issues with the reservations or tickets provided by the travel agency. Our downtown hotels were very centrally located and within walking distance of most things we wanted to see and our country side castle/estate hotels were gorgeous. Our travel advisor Maria was very responsive and checked up on us during our trip. We had an unfortunate incident of leaving a laptop behind. Maria was quick to inform us and did what she could to help us retrieve it. Even after we returned to the US she continued to check in with us until we received the laptop. JTI and Maria specifically made the experience wonderful and we cannot wait to return to Ireland.

Maria from JTI was fantastic to work with, and really did a great job lining up a fabulous 4-day tour around the southern part of Ireland for our group of four. The 4* accommodations were really spot on for what we wanted - the Ross Hotel in Killarney was the perfect location, and the Castle Hotel in Clontarf was a wonderful place to end our trip. We really enjoyed all the key stops - Kinsale, Killarney, Dingle, Cliffs of Moher and Gallway - which each had their own unique element of Ireland. Other suggested stops we loved were the Dingle Sheepdog Farm (such a cool Irish experience), the new Killarney Brewing facility (an amazing facility, cool tour, great beer and food) and Krugger’s Bar (Ireland’s most westerly bar). And our driver and tour guide, Joe Doyle, made this whole journey a super-relaxed, flexible, fun and informative trip that we will never forget. I would recommend Maria and JTI to anyone wanting a great experience seeing Ireland!

We had a wonderful time. We absolutely loved everything about this experience - hotels, transportation, excursions and our driver, Seamus. Seamus did a wonderful job driving us safely and finding a few extra places to see on our way. By the end of our trip he became part of our family.

The only hiccup was when we arrived at our first hotel. I had added the extra night for one room so that my party could use it if needed before all our other rooms were available. The gentleman on the night shift said I had to be out of it by 12pm which defeated the purpose of having that room. We went and had breakfast and came back at 8am to talk to the day manager. He was wonderful and apologetic and actually gave us an extra room for our next night.

My young adult children were truly spoiled by the mode of transportation and the wonderful hotels as well. One son wants to teach at Trinity someday!
This was such a wonderful family vacation and one we would highly recommend to friends and family.

There were six of us on this wonderful trip. We booked it with Journey Through Ireland, and our agent was Maria Davey. Over the three years of planning, coping with vaccinations, passports, changes, and other unexpected events, Maria remained patient and so kind through it all. We had wonderful weather and an outstanding tour guide. We could not go wrong; no hitches in our plans. We toured Dublin, Killarney, Galway, and saw the sights and Irish countryside up close. It was a trip we’ll never forget. Thanks for a memorable week!

Wonderful trip to Dublin and Kilkenny for St. Patrick's week. My grandson played in the parade in Dublin and Journeys built my itinerary around his performances. It was ideal. I had the same transfer driver (Brenden) for all my travels. The hotel, Iveagh Garden, was an excellent choice from Journeys. It was centrally located to everything with lovely rooms and staff. This is my second Journey with Ireland. My first was a self driving trip around Wales which was also impeccably planned.
