We know this part of the world intimately (some would say, better than anybody), and we have our own office in Dublin to manage our extensive operations. When we design a tour, we do so with the same care and thought that we use for our own personal vacations. We know the warmth with which the Irish people welcome guests into their homes, a treasured experience of our “At Home with the Irish” tour. We designed the “Sights & Sounds of Ireland” with the desire to introduce the whole of Ireland to our travelers - so the country we love can become one of their favorites as well. Whichever tour you choose, we bring you the very best of our unforgettable homeland. - Gary Murphy, President of Brendan Vacations
