Lou, Florida U.S.A. Sep 2025
We just returned from an incredible two-week journey through Ireland, and we can’t say enough about our guides, Phil and Elaine. From the very first day, they made us feel not like tourists, but like welcome guests in their country. They struck the perfect balance between showing us iconic highlights and weaving in authentic experiences that gave us a true taste of local culture.
Each day brought something new and memorable. Lively evenings of traditional music, breathtaking stretches of countryside, and fascinating stories that brought Ireland’s history to life. What impressed us most was Phil and Elaine’s ability to adapt the trip to our every request. If we wanted more music, they found it. If we asked for a scenic detour, they made it happen. We laughed that they must have stayed up half the night, magically reshaping our trip by morning to fit whatever we asked for (We think there had to be a touch of Irish magic involved)!
The result was a seamless blend of culture, music, scenery, and personal touches that made the trip uniquely ours. Their warmth, flexibility, and deep knowledge turned a great trip into an unforgettable one. We couldn’t have asked for better guides. If you’re lucky enough to travel with Phil and Elaine, you’ll discover that Ireland is only half the reason your journey will be unforgettable.
YOU WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE IRELAND LIKE THIS. Walk extraordinary landscapes both on and off the beaten path. Hear tales from your guides of history and myth revealing Ireland’s powerful culture. And discern this magical country’s impact on you today.
Outstanding hospitality with customized itineraries, top-notch accommodations and delicious, local menus. Get ready to be charmed and cared for. And celebrate the beauty and play of this land as uniquely choreographed by the amazing Dr. Phil and Elaine Brennan of Celtic Ways Ireland.
My husband Marc and I were so blessed to have found Phil and Elain of Celtic Ways Ireland. We did the ST Declans way walk which was tremendous and a very spiritual experience for us. Food was awesome and the hospitality was top notch.
We then spent another two weeks with them as they drove us around the island, treated us as top notch VIPs, best food and places and service you could ever ask for, but the best part of this whole trip was the people! Phil and Elaine are now what we consider GREAT Friends
Phil and Elaine crafted a bespoke tour for our small groups in South East Ireland & Wales.
The experience was fantastic: their attention to every detail, the selection of experiences and their kind attention to our every happiness. I couldn’t make a stronger recommendation
