We took a 12 day private tour of Ireland with Little Gem back in 2019 and it was the best travel experience of our lives. We were an extended family of 12 and had all generations of travellers. Little Gem provided a perfect experience from the start. Private tour planner Rosie worked with us on every detail of our travels and customized the perfect tour for us. Our driver guide was incredible and knew all the best spots to take us away from the tour coaches. Each night we stayed in amazing local accommodations including some very swanky 5* castles as well as a lovely farm stay and B&B's. We would highly recommend Little Gem Private Tours of Ireland!!

Unfortunately due to COVID, our trip to IRELAND was canceled. However, I still wanted to leave a review to give praise to Eamonn. He was so incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and kind during all of our correspondence. I would recommend him just based on his honesty and integrity, he returned our deposit plus supplied me with websites to gain more information for our trip. I can't wait to get to Dublin to meet him and rely on his expertise to see the country. He made the trip planning seamless and stress-free! 5 stars well deserved.

A wonderful trek in a unique habitat. Paul was very knowledgeable, informative and personable. We especially enjoyed to contrast between the numerous wildflowers and the starkness of the terran.

As a huge fan of Medieval history, I really enjoy my visits to Kilkenny and Glendalough. The Sheep Dog Trials make for an excellent escape from the city hustle.

Paid in full pre-Covid, trip cancelled by the company as was July 2020 at the height of the restrictions. I have requested a refund on numerous occasions with the same standard email response. Some rubbish about refund machine being in the office that they can’t access. I’m puzzled as they appear to be able to access the machine to take your money. Even now they are selling tours with thousands of customers waiting for refunds. I suspect bankruptcy is not far off and would like to warn everyone do not give this company any of your money, just flush it down the toilet instead!!!!
