When it comes to choosing the right Family Tours Ireland operator, it’s important to reserve your vacation with a tour operator who places ‘family’ in a firm first place. Luxury and Customized Family Tours Ireland operator Mike Ryan of executive Hire sets out his 5 most important factors to be considered when choosing a family vacation in Ireland.

1 Flexibility

Ireland is a small enough island but you can find and do most things here. So if some of your family or small group tour wish to experience the attractions of Dublin City, and some prefer to breathe in the west coast atmosphere, no problem. We offer flexibility from the moment you arrive to the moment you depart. We are perhaps the only customized tours Ireland operator who work with families and small groups coming into one airport and depart from another. Also, in between times you may wish to add something of particular interest into your itinerary. We’ll find a way without putting any time pressure on anyone.

2 Choice

Whether its choice of 4 or 5 star accommodation, playing golf or seeing sites, east coast or west, city hopping or country chilling, we’ll work out a customized itinerary that works for you. We have the expertise and contacts on the ground for whatever your particular preferences are.  We can offer different attractions each day for different people within your group. For example we can take some of you to play golf and others to a shopping experience or castle visit. We can also mix it up, we have suggested itineraries where you can do site seeing and golf as part of the same tour vacation.

3 Private Chauffeur

Our policy at Executive Hire is to provide luxury Mercedes vehicles from our constantly updated and maintained fleet. Whether your family vacation in Ireland requires a 4 seater sedan, a 6 seater minibus or a 12 seater minibus, we have a luxury custom fitted Mercedes to suit. Our vehicles are long wheel based for extra comfort, have all leather seating, free on-board wi-fi, refreshments TV screens and needless to say are immaculate. However any vehicle on a family vacation in Ireland is only as good as its chauffeur. Your personal driver guide with Executive Hire will be one of the best in the business. Our drivers are experienced, knowledgeable, flexible, friendly, well presented and punctual. See for yourself on our reviews on Trip Advisor. We aim to make your Irish vacation a once in a lifetime opportunity for all of your family, and our private drivers will show you the real Ireland in a real Irish way.

4 Well planned travel itinerary

Whether your family members are young, old or in between we want you all to be invigorated but also relaxed, and this is important. At executive Hire, we work with all of our luxury tours Ireland clients to customize their itinerary well in advance of you getting here so that we can maximise on attractions and minimise logistics and any unnecessary road travelling. You can see from our suggested Family Tours Ireland itineraries how we can achieve a balanced vacation for 1 to 2 weeks and even 10 or 12 days, but these are suggested itineraries, you may have more or less time and of course we can tailor your itinerary to suit your preferences and your budget.

5 The right accommodation

For family tours Ireland, choosing the right accommodation can require just a little more thought, and of course we’re here to help you. Its easy when booking for your own immediate family but if it’s a bit wider than that, then things have to be taken into account like what budget suits everybody. Also we need to consider any special requirements like access or dietary. We are a preferred chauffeur service to many hotels and Castle hotels in Ireland because we share their same dedication to service. We are often able to secure upgrades for our clients, or even better rates than they thought possible. For many of our suggested itineraries we offer a choice of 4 or 5 star accommodation options, but to get on our recommended accommodation list, every venue must be able to show us that they provide the hospitality, warmth and real Irish service our clients both new and returning have come to expect from us over the last decade. Here you can find some of our suggested luxury accommodation options available in key locations around Ireland such as Limerick, Dublin, Galway, Killarney and Galway.
