“This was such a personal tour, not a commercial one. It was like traveling with best friends.”
~ Suzanne and Tom

“This trip was so well organized, there wasn’t a single stressful event. Loved the flexibility – I never felt smothered with rules or timetables.”
~ Kristi, OR

“I have participated in other travels with tour guides but they do not meet the standard, quality and preparedness of the Traveling Matters team! The hotels, meals and drivers (and take away lunches) were superb.”
~ Carol, NY

“Peadar, Margarita and Rhonda definitely put their heart and souls into planning this trip. The personal touches were wonderful! Our bus driver was fantastic. His knowledge, skills and patience went way beyond our expectations! We were so lucky to have him!”
~Rick and Gayle, NC

"You helped us experience our own private Ireland. Yes, we were with thirty other people during the peak season, yet we were not rushed nor crowded. We went to places most people only dream of and we had the trip of a lifetime."
~ Toni & David

"With Margarita at the helm, I would go anywhere, even some place I didn't really care about, because I know it would be worth every minute and every penny I spent."
~ Sue

"Thank you for another amazing journey. I had no doubt that this adventure would be extraordinary. The places you have taken me to have all been unique, unusual, and most of all have made me feel the true heart of Ireland. I feel like I have seen more of the soul of the country than most. I look forward to my next journey with you."
~ Diane

"What can I say? You made my first trip to Ireland absolutely stupendous. Every day was better than the last - hard to believe that it was possible. I feel like I got to see the real Ireland and experience the country in an amazing way."
~ Mary

"Planning a trip for 20-30 people takes many hours - more hours than most of us realize. We tell you where we would like to go, what we would like to see and what we would like to do while there - and you handle it. All we need to do us is show up and enjoy!"
~ Sharon

"...Surpassed expectations. The accommodations were great and very comfortable. The proximity was good and the itinerary made the most of the time we had - we got to see alot, yet still didn't feel rushed. A well-rounded, diverse and seamless travel experience. Just pack and enjoy! "
~ Robbin

“The perfect balance of planned and independent activity was achieved. We toured natural and man-made, modern and ancient attractions. We travelled by horses and boats and one very comfortable coach with knowledgeable guides.”
~ “Fan” Rita, ND
