Testimonials
Cead Mile Failte
"I would like to thank you and your company for the generosity you bestowed upon my lifelong friends the Cowans, the Whites and the Reardons. They all had a most enjoyable time with both you and your company and the challenge of links golf, just like I did when I played with you at Ballybunion while you were Captain. I look forward to returning myself in the near future."
Tom Watson, USA5 times British Open winner, 2 times Masters winner and US Open winner.
"Golf provides access to special places and special people. In a privileged life, I have experienced a blessed lot of such places and people. None of those experiences has provided a more effective combination than that I have enjoyed with Ireland Travel Links. You were an essential provider in this most recent experience on our tour. Thank you does not come close to expressing how I think and feel about it. The setting, the courses, the golf, the people and, most especially you have put the treasure trove in my memory back into overfill.

"Kimberly and I wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how much we appreciated your time and energy in support of our recent vacation to Ireland. We have travelled to Europe in the past and leveraged other organisations to help with touring and transportation, but we have never had the level of flexibility and personal support that you gave us. Your vehicle, your personal attentiveness and knowledge of your country were all first class in all ways. Our ability to find details of our Irish heritage and see the beauties of the Emerald Isle would not have been the same without.

"We have thoroughly enjoyed 5 visits to Ireland with friends and family over the past couple years. Ireland Travel Links has made each trip very special and enjoyable. Whether we were playing golf on one of many great Irish courses, hiking cliffs and mountains, visiting historic sites, or savouring a nice meal and a pint in a beautiful village, Gerard always assembled a custom and memorable itinerary for us. I appreciate that he works with us, sharing ideas and recommendations based on our interests. We just show up at the airport and he takes over with his Mercedes van and his Irish humour! We can't wait for the next visit.

"What an experience it was! All thanks to the planning and attention we were given by all at Ireland Travel Links. Aidan meeting us for tea and scones at Ballybunion gave us a personal connection even before our trip had officially begun. The tee times and caddies were all wonderful as were the golf courses. The selection of hotels was perfect. Our "driver" Liam was so much more than a driver. He was a knowledgeable guide who was sincerely passionate about Ireland. He provided the right balance of information and fun. He was so good at pacing things and adapting plans as circumstances required. Liam's personal touches made us feel he was our friend not just a guide. We shared much laughter and good times during our 6 days together.

"I'm back home now for a week, and just want to take a moment to say thank you so much for everything!! I really enjoyed my first trip to Ireland and have you to thank for all you efforts in taking care of me!! From the solo Avoca Weaving demonstration to the Cliff House cliff walk and dinner, to all the meetings at the genealogy centers, to the amazing rounds of golf, especially at Ballybunion..... you just rock!! I was in great hands with Paddy and felt safe at all times, and learned so much about Ireland's history and culture. I was not expecting to find such a beautiful country and am amazed thinking back at all the nooks and crannies!

"Dear Gerard and team - We are home safe and sound in NJ and many thanks for a great trip. We appreciate all the arrangements for the trip, us having dinner together in Newcastle and the mid-course advice from your staff and help along the way. Our drivers were excellent. Ken is a super professional and Paul was Ireland bundled up and put on the van. He sang, told stories, took us to a pub in Ballina where he joined the performers playing the spoons and other real instruments plus was looking out for our interests. It was a fun trip to both experience and plan. Lots of wonderful memories of beautiful links golf and great accommodations.

"Gerard, it was really wonderful to catch up with you and thanks for the Luis Tibodeau joke, as that one was a real doozy. Great to be home, but the surreal feeling of spending time with friends and family in the warmest, friendliest country in the world creates some everlasting memories. Pictures try to do it justice, but the experience and feelings are hard to capture in words or photographs. I will highly recommend Ireland Travel Links to all my friends and associates.

J Harper, USA.Ireland Travel Links Clients.
"Thanks for everything you did to make the trip a great success, something we will all remember as long as our memory holds out! As an owner of a touring business in Australia, I was blown away by the welcome ‘Cead Mile Failte’, professional attention to detail, personal engagement, and organisation of Ireland Travel Links. Greetings to Aidan & look forward to seeing you both somewhere on the fairways again in the future.

"We LOVED our entire trip. Our driver for the trip Brian was outstanding!!! We felt like we were saying goodbye to a dear new friend when we left him on Friday. Jim and I felt it was one of the best trips we have ever taken, and it will be remembered with special significance because of Brian. Aidan was lovely and a great host and guide. We look forward to coming back again.

"My thanks to you, Gerard and Aidan, for organising such a great golf holiday for the FLAGS group. Even though my golf was awful, I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and appreciate all of the work that you did to ensure that we all enjoyed ourselves. Could you please pass on to those members of the various clubs that put themselves out to welcome us as guests my sincere thanks. I very much hope that our paths cross again in the future. I am planning on taking my wife to Ireland, probably the year after next, and I will be in touch.

"I wanted to thank you, Gerard and Aidan, for a wonderful three weeks. I knew my golf would not be up to standard before we left, but I thoroughly enjoyed each course, the wine and food, the banter and craic, and the company of the entire group. It was great not to have to worry about how we were getting everywhere.
