Heldags privat tur i Irlands vestkyst

We had an amazing time with Ken on our trip to the Cliffs of Moher. He accepted our very last-minute booking and created an experience that will be one of our fondest memories of our month-long holiday in the UK and Europe. Ken was extremely professional, but at the same time, very personable and human. He made us both feel extremely safe and comfortable on the ride out and back (3 hrs each way). As queer, curvy, neurodiverse women of color in a lesbian relationship, we don’t often feel socially accepted in spaces, so words cannot express our gratitude to Ken for treating us …like humans, and not as societal tokens nor social rejects. Ken is a great conversationalist, and his ability to anticipate when you’re open to chatting and when you need a break was much appreciated by our neurodivergent brains, which can get overstimulated in social situations if we don’t get communication and stimulation breaks. We also really appreciated that Ken was flexible with how much space he took up on our trip - we preferred he provide us with more guidance and suggestions on how to approach the Cliffs as well as where to stop for lunch, which he accommodated happily without making us feel ‘controlled’. He also asked us about our preferences before making his suggestions and decisions, so they were well-suited to us as well. We also loved that, when it came time to get out of the van to explore, he gave us our space to do that on our own, staying close by but out of sight so it felt like we were out there - just the two of us - with the psychological safety of knowing he was near by. FYI, Ken did note that he’s also happy to stay closer and even tag along as you explore, but only if you specifically ask him to. All in all, we cannot recommend this experience - with Ken, specifically - more. It is well-worth the significant price tag; we are in no way ‘rich’, but will pay for our psychological comfort and safety. We understand that Ken does these types of private tours in multiple locations in Europe, and we will certainly reach out to him on our next EU adventure. Thanks, Ken! We’ll always remember and forever be grateful of the time, compassion, and care you gave us on our private tour with you. Monique & Jenny

My family travelled to Ireland in July 2023 for first visit to the country. We worked with Ken Delaney on an itinerary for the West Coast day trip as well as an East Coast day trip and a day trip to the Wicklow Mountains and surrounding areas. Ken was instrumental in helping us chart a course to see the sights WE wanted to see and the sights he knew we should see, including many less-touristy areas. He not only was a fantastic tour guide and driver, but he was an even better travel partner. He felt like part of the family and he made our trip so special and memorable. I can’t say enough good things about Ken’s knowledge, professionalism, friendly personality and attitude. We can’t wait to return to Ireland and work with Ken.

I couldnt recommend Ken highly enough. His local knowledge of the West of Ireland was brilliant. He made our trip extremely memorable and we are already planning our next trip with Ken.

Our experience with Ken could not have gone more perfectly! From start to finish, we had a seamless experience. Ken picked up my fiancé & I directly from our hotel in Dublin for a tour along the wild Atlantic Way to Galway, Dunguaire Castle, with a final stop at the Cliffs of Moher. Ken is the perfect combination of professional, informative, & entertaining - which made our tour with him the highlight of our overall trip to Ireland. I have already recommended Ken to many friends & we plan to use him again this upcoming October. We truly cannot recommend Ken enough!

Ken Delaney is a gracious, accommodating and competent host and guide. We enjoyed a fabulous tour of SW Ireland, Dingle, Killarney Lakes and the Boyne Valley. The ride was comfortable in Ken’s Mercedes Sprinter with plenty of room for passengers and luggage. Guided tours are an excellent way to see Ireland and all its beauty. We strongly recommend Escape to Ireland and Ken Delaney for a fun filled, stress free and memorable tour of Ireland. Ed and Marijane Geary Natick, Massachusetts

Really interesting and informative tour with our small work group, showed us some of Ireland’s hidden gems like standing stones along the west coast. Tour guide is v informative and knows where to bring you for good food/drink.
