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 coordinated a summer tour led by 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, over 1,500 people have traveled with Pat & John on 26 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 an AIR/LAND 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.

To sample the fun and camaraderie of our 2006 and 2007 tours, as well as our recent Spring 2008 Tour, scroll below and view our "Blogs."
