Dear Michael, I'd like to reiterate what a fabulous time we had in Killarney this weekend and in particular I would like to thank you for all your help. It was a perfect service and made our weekend go very smoothly. We have already discussed returning later in the year, possibly to the Park Hotel in Kenmare. It looks fantastic on-line. Needless to say I will be in touch with you directly if we do so. Once again thank you very much for all your help. Best regards, Alex Finney

Killarney Highlights Tour I was only in Killarney for one day and night so I did not want to tie up all my time with a very long, all-day Ring of Kerry Tour so I opted to save that tour for "next time." Instead, I signed up for a shorter local tour of Killarney with local guide Michael Guerin from OLM Executive Travel. What a great call, Michael was promptly standing at the reception desk of my hotel at Noon as we planned. When I met him, I immediately noted his friendly face and when he said, "Kerrie?" I said, "Yes!" Shook his hand and announced, "My long lost Irish brother!" He laughed and I knew the day was going to be fun. Unfortunately, I managed another unintentional laugh soon thereafter when we ran to his car to avoid the rain. He was running to one side of the car so I ran to the other side of the car. The problem was I was running to the right side of the car (the "American" passenger side), which in Ireland, is the driver's side! He was actually running to the left-side (the "Irish passenger side) to open the door for me. I soon realized what I had done when I saw the steering wheel staring at me from the right-side window. I quickly ran around the car back to him and jumped in the car. I completely burst out laughing at what I had just done. He tried to be gracious and reassure that it happens all of the time. *great…more than one stupid American story to tell his friends* Michael took me to the Muckross House to buy a ticket for their interior tour, which did not start for more than an hour. He took me around front to take some photos of the exterior of the House. Since the House tour did not start for a while we left to drive and tour for a bit. We drove to Torq Waterfall, Ladies View, Muckross Lake, and finally to a wonderful old boathouse down a gravel road and a quick little short hike. I took some great photos along the way. We headed back to Muckross House to get me to my tour. I ran back to the parking lot to meet Michael again. We drove down to Ross Castle, which overlooks the lake and "apparently" has great views. I say, "Apparently" because we were totally socked in with clouds since it was raining. There were gail force winds coming off the lake….and I am not joking. I was nearly blown over at one point. Nevertheless, I took some great pictures of the Castle and the small lake boats nearby (that were not in service due to the weather).

Hi Mike, its Erik. I just wanted to thank you again for your great job that made our vacation awesome. I also passed on your contact info to my Mom, friends, and my Dad. I dont know if my friend or Dad are serious about going to Ireland, but if they are they will give you a call! My Mom is still deciding if she should go to Ireland and she thinks Christmas time would be best if she were to go (which she is still deciding on if this is the right time to go). Hopefully i will see you in the winter, and it would be sweet to go to the Giants Causeway which looks really cool! I wish you have a good success and lots of fun with your job. Ireland was awesome! From, Erik Dolan-Del Vecchio

Mike- Well, we made it home!!! Thank you for an AMAZING tour. As I told you before, we will recommend you to EVERYONE! So here's your first... Below you will find the questionnaire from the International Travel Agent that booked us. They were at a loss to assist in the car recommendations, so I have given them your name. My hope is that you get business out of this and that you make someone else's trip as memorable as you made ours! The paragraph about you is about halfway down. The name of the company is at the bottom of the e-mail so you will recognize them if they call you. Thanks for everything, Mike...we're still talking about you and the pictures are hysterical!!! Hope you are well - Erin Mecca

WE DID NOT HIRE A CAR THROUGH YOU, BUT THE GENTLEMAN THAT WE DID HIRE WAS FABULOUS. WITH 5 ADULTS AND AN INFANT ON BOARD, HE WAS MOST ACCOMMODATING...PERHAPS YOU MIGHT WANT TO USE HIM. WE WERE NOT HAPPY ABOUT DRIVING OURSELVES AND REALLY HAD TO DO A LOT OF RESEARCH TO FIND HIM. HE MADE OUR TRIP SO MEMORABLE. HE WENT OVER AND ABOVE HIS CONTRACT WITH US IN EVERY WAY. I WOULD PERSONALLY RECOMMEND HIM...AND THAT SAYS A LOT!
