You met us at the airport, with a smile and a kiss;
You whisked us off to Dublin without a single miss;
You drove through Cashel and Blarney, through the winds, the rain, the storm;
You did it all with laughter, in your classis witty form;
We stayed in Killarney, along a babbling brook;
Then you sailed us ‘cross the Shannon so we could take a look;
We fought the winds at Moher, but the view was worth it all;
Then you carried us to Galway where the pub echoed ‘last call’;
We’ve walked along the Abbey where the mountains met the sea;
We’ve seen peat and sheep and rolling hills, just what more could there be;
We’ve seen Westport, Sligo and Donegal and all were a bit sassy,
But the greatest music of them all was at the Silver Tassie;
We visited the Causeway where the view was something great;
Then stopped at Bushmills where shots of whiskey were our fate;
We set out toward Belfast to spend another night;
Then stopped at St. Patrick’s and New Grange, other incredible sites;
Our adventure ends near Dublin in a little seaside town;
Where we have to say goodbye to you and lay our journey down;
We will never soon forget you as we travel on life’s way;
For you have been our friend, our Guide, and brightened up each day.

Mary,
We had an absolutely wonderful trip to Ireland. The B&B accommodations you arranged for us were great.. I've enclosed a picture of Mary Lou on top of Diamond Hill in Connemara National Park. (That's Tully Mountain in the background. Our "cottage" was just around behind it.) I think that hike rates among the top things we've ever done on holiday, and that view is one of the finest we've ever seen in all of our travels….August 2006
Thanks again for making our arrangements.
Dear Specialized Travel Services,
In August I took a trip with my son and his Scout Troop organized by your Company. In all it was a wonderful experience. I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your services and especially to pass on a good word about our guide and driver John. I really cannot say enough good things about him. Mostly of course we appreciated his great sense of humor and his wonderful people skills as well as being such an able driver. Every moment in his company, we felt safe and well taken care of….September 2005
Hello Katie,
The Irish golfers have returned. The trip was spectacular and everyone had glowing compliments for all involved. I had complete confidence in our driver Jay. Our hotels were lovely in the most spectacular settings…I can’t thank you enough for all you did in helping me plan our trip. I will of course recommend Specialized Travel Services for all our agents at Travelstore…October 2005
Katie,
IRELAND WAS FABULOUS! Thank you for the expertise and the assistance of STS for making our vacation so very memorable…July 2005
Dear Ms Cronin,
I am writing to compliment your associate Katie Campbell for the highly professional way in which she helped us plan our week in Ireland. Katie was always cheerful, helpful and willing to go that extra mile in assisting our 6 member family. We had many conversations and she was always patient and pleasant. I would also like to applaud the work of your driver Tony Timlin. Tony was prompt, informative and understanding to the young ones in the group. Further, Tony is an excellent driver, safe and courteous…June 2005
Dear Maeve,
I’m sorry I did not have time last week to write to tell you how satisfied we were with the trip to County Cork. The whole group was very happy with the programme, for most of them it was their first time in Ireland and many of them want to come back some time and visit further. May 2006
Hi to all at Specialized Travel,
I am back in the office (Monday), and wanted to say "thanks” that you did come through with a great driver: - Sean Walsh. Thanks so much as everyone on the tour really enjoyed his commentary, driving, humor, and kindness. He was great with all. The hotels were great, and all had a wonderful trip….. July 2006
Katie,
What a magical country! We loved Ireland and the trip could not have been more perfect……. September 2006

“….we were entertained, educated, made to laugh which would be a understatement, and on more than a few occasions shed a tear, so real was your driver Philip Duffy’s delivery of what was taking place in each particular area.”
- Frank , NJ
“This was our second time using your company for our group. With over 400 people travelling we need to have complete confidence in the company we use, and look forward to using your services again. Your planning was excellent but was topped by your service on the ground when the group were in Ireland .”
