“I have the highest regard for Robin Shortt and his company, Exploring Ireland. My 95 year old Mom, my sister and I took a very special trip in October that was expertly planned by Robin. Every detail was in order including pre trip planning, lodging, sights, and transportation provided by our driver/guide, Ben.”Karen Hunter, Colorado
I want to say thank you from Canada, myself and my three sisters stayed in Ireland this fall and loved it. We took the five day bus tour of southern Ireland and feel so lucky to have experienced such great scenery,accommodations and Irish hospitality. Thank you so much for making a dream come through.

Just wanted to let you know what a FABULOUS, FABULOUS trip we had! Ireland was beautiful, the people friendly. Doing a privately escorted tour was the way to go. And what can I say about our tour escort, PJ O'Dwyer, tour guide extraordinaire! From Irish history, traditions and lore, to his personal experiences and Irish jokes, he was the best. He took us to out of the way places we never would have seen or experienced on a bus tour. We'll never forget him. Thanks for your help. I would recommend your services to anyone looking for a terrific Ireland tour!
Patricia Brewster, North Carolina
First of all, I want to thank you for arranging our tour Ireland. We all had a wonderful and rewarding time. Ireland is a beautiful country and rich with history. I am a history buff and enjoyed our trip very much. As a "Quiet Man" fan, I was extremely happy to visit Cong and "Pat Cohans" pub. That was one of the highlights for me.
Our coach driver, "Pat," was the best. We could not have had a better guide and driver. He even took us to places that main tour lines were not aware of. Thank you for a wonderful trip. It will not be my last.

Just returned from a wonderful trip. I wanted to take a moment to thank you for planning out the trip so well. Everything went smoothly, and the trip was marvelous. The rental car was fuel efficient and easy to maneuver in the smaller confines of Irish
towns and roadways. The rooms were clean and well located. The itinerary and sights that you highlighted for the trip worked well in
concert, making for an easy and un-hurried vacation.
I will certainly recommend you in the future.
Tom M. Mayer, Cumming, Georgia
I arrived back into York today and my mom flew back to Seattle. I wanted to thank you so much for all of your help and hard work. You truly made our trip to Ireland a fantastic one and I couldn't have
done it without you. The best way I can think to thank you is to spread the word.
April Frazier, Bow, Washington
My name is Patricia Glenn and I am Margaret Healy's mother. I recently had a wonderful trip with nine members of my family. The driver of your Van was Philip Smith. He is the most wonderful Guide I have ever had the privilege to travel with. He has many attributes, among them, kindness, intelligence, love of his job, Historian, patience, protectiveness of the people he is responsible, for. He has that Irish wit that we Americans so love. All in all, it was a pleasure to be with him everyday. I have been around the block several times, being 84 years old and having raised a very large family. Philip was a gentleman in every way. We are indebted to him for a marvelous view of your beautiful country.
Patricia Healy, Wichita, Kansas
Thank you for taking us to out of the way places, not accessible to the big tour buses and making the extra effort to make our trip to Ireland memorable and enjoyable. For a price comparable to that of the big tour buses, we were able to experience and learn a lot more with you about IRELAND . Thank you again

“In all of our travels over the years neither of us have experienced a more professional, first class individual than Robin Shortt. He is not only kind and respectful, he is honest and the type of individual you enjoy being around. I might add he has a great sense of humour as well. He made this trip OUR trip and was there whenever, however we needed. I also believe he also has the patience of Job (from the Bible). What can I say, he's just a nice guy. He handled everything from picking us up on our early arrival, to taking us to the airport for our departure. He handled everything in between, accommodations, when, where, tickets for tours, EVERYTHING!”
Tom Evans, Idaho
“Our family has just returned from a 7 day driving vacation in Ireland, booked through Exploring Ireland. We had a phenomenal time, and our great experience was mostly due to the efficiency, professionalism and flexibility offered by Robin Shortt of Exploring Ireland. The bed and breakfasts/hotels that were selected for our family of 6 far exceeded our expectations…I recommend this company without any reservation.....they were instrumental in ensuring that we had a truly memorable trip that was well within our budget.”
Kirin Suri
“I just wanted to say thank you for helping us have such a memorable holiday in Ireland last week. Everything was great and I can't stress enough how incredible it was to have Russell as our guide. His knowledge and flexibility with our schedule made for a perfect week. There is no way we could have done so much in such a stress free manner if we'd try to plan this trip on our own.”
Ken Tittle, Alabama
“Exploring Ireland is a very professional outfit - without being too large and stuffy or too small and inexperienced - and they are family owned which is reflected in their courteous interactions. They are very accommodating and experienced with planning the trip around your needs and desires. Indeed, they are very flexible in changing those plans if need be, too - even in the course of the tour.”
