A BIT OF BACKGROUND: To put her "travel
tips" into practice for the benefit of many travelers, "Ireland
Expert" Patricia Tunison Preston and her husband John Preston organize
and accompany group tours of Ireland.
Since 1992, Pat
& John have led a summer tour with Galway-born Msgr. Charlie
Coen, Ireland's "musical priest." In addition, Pat & John
also lead shorter off-season group tours to Ireland in the Springtime
and the Fall. In all, almost 1,600 people have traveled with Pat &
John on 30 different group tours.
All of our tours follow a leisurely and relaxed pace, with mostly two-night
stays at each of our hotels. No packing and unpacking and no moving from
one place to another every day. Our tours are custom-designed as vacations
to savor and enjoy - splendid scenery, legendary attractions, top class
hotels, marvelous meals, and fun-filled activities. A great way to experience
the best of the Emerald Isle - the "real Ireland."
Prices for
all tours are available as a land and airfare package, or as land only, if you prefer to arrange
your own airfare (and possibly
save money or use frequent flyer miles). See details on the
"What the Price Includes" page for each tour.
