Ross Castle, Killarney, Ireland

Ireland is one of my favorite countries to visit! I have traveled there multiple times, and taken small groups (10-30 people) on wonderful tours throughout the Irish countryside.


As an Ireland specialist, I have in-depth knowledge about the country, including its culture, history, attractions, and hidden gems. I can provide valuable insights and recommendations tailored to your interests. 



When planning a trip to Ireland, I will create personalized itineraries based on your preferences. Whether you’re interested in exploring ancient castles, scenic landscapes, or vibrant cities, I can design a unique experience for you.


I often have access to special deals, discounts, and promotions from local suppliers and can help you find the best value for your travel budget.

A trip to look forward to.
Drenda was amazing in helping us to plan an Alaska cruise with two other couples. She worked so hard to get us upgrades and lots of other perks. We were so excited! Unfortunately the cruise was set for June 2020 and was cancelled. I would highly recommend Drenda. Her enthusiasm for travel is infectious. She is so knowledgeable about so many places. She is constantly finding amazing deals all over the world.

Worked with us through the whole trip

The best cruise we didn’t get to go on!
Drenda was very responsive in finding exactly what we were looking for in our Alaskan cruise. She also asked questions about aspects we hadn’t considered to help us plan our vacation. She was great to work with! Sadly, Covid prevented us from going on the cruise, but look forward to working with Drenda again.
