It’s hard to describe how fantastic my first trip to Ireland was which I attribute to Brendan’s love of his country and his ability to make you feel like you belong there too. His knowledge of the history, culture, out of the way places to avoid the crowds while enjoying beautiful scenery was so appreciated by my family. Traveling with my 2 adult sons & wives for a week, I had a tentative itinerary and Brendan made sure we saw most everything and more. With the help of prior research by my family many years ago and Brendan’s patient persistence, we found my ancestors’ farmland and headstone in a cemetery. My dream of exploring our roots and enjoying the beauty of Ireland with my family was definitely fulfilled!!!

We were 8 family members traveling to different spots across Ireland. Brendan and Richard were fantastic! From the initial communication and planning to the driving and tours, everything exceeded our expectations. Richard was our driver and guide for 5 days! His knowledge and expertise, sense of humor and kindness made this trip fun and memorable for all of us. I can't say enough good things about them!

Three generations of my family, 8 in all, had the pleasure of spending 10 days with Brendan Skelly touring Ireland in July 2025. By the and of the trip we felt as if he was a member of the family.He was not just a driver. He was the best tour guide that I have experience in my many visits to Ireland. He is very knowledgeable about Irish history and language and the trip proved a great learning experience for my grandsons. He was a pleasure to spend time with and we all regretted that our trip had to end. At every turn, he went out of his way to make this vacation a truly memorable one.

We were a family of 6 adults traveling from Canada to Ireland for our first visit. We had a wonderful vacation thanks to Bronze & Boru, with a special shout out to Richard who was our tour guide for 5 days. The pre travel correspondence and arrangements were seamless, and everything went as planned! Brendan met us at the Dublin airport and told us plenty about the city en route to our hotel. Richard then picked us up 3 days later. We toured the south of Ireland, the ring of Kerry, the Dingle peninsula and Adare for 5 days more in a very comfortable Mercedes bus. We had a few sights in mind, but Richard suggested other towns/sights to see which was fabulous! We visited places that we would have otherwise overlooked. My personal favourite was Torc Waterfall set in a beautiful woodland. Richard’s knowledge of history truly enhanced the experience, as well as his pleasant demeanour. Each day was better than the day before as he got to know our group and our individual interests. Our only disappointment was the need to say goodbye at the end of the 5 days but we have our photos! Thank you so much for a memorable family vacation!

We were fortunate to have Richard drive my wife and me around Ireland. Richard knows the history and all the great places to go. He knows the small pubs with character and numerous experiences off the beaten path that elevate a great trip to an extraordinary trip. We would highly recommend Bronze and Boru Tours. Thank you Richard for making it a great time.

Our group of 14 had the pleasure of riding with Richard during our week in Ireland. Richard was unyieldingly kind, knowledgable, and professional throughout. He also went above and beyond to accommodate late-breaking changes in our group’s travel plans, picking some people up early and others from alternate locations. It would’ve been impossible to see as much of western Ireland as we did without driving. At the same time, driving on many of those roads would’ve been a nightmare. Richard kept us totally safe throughout. Strongest possible recommendation!

Richard was good craic and made our family road trip unforgettable! He was friendly, informative, and entertaining. Richard’s knowledge of local culture, pubs, and history ensured that every stop felt memorable and worthwhile. He was also incredibly patient and accommodating, tailoring the itinerary to our family’s needs and preferences.

We highly recommend Bronze & Boru for your transportation needs in Ireland. Brendan was very gracious in setting up a time for us to discuss our itinerary and provided us with great suggestions on how to properly plan to ensure we experienced everything we wanted to see. Richard was our driver, and he was instrumental in helping us navigate our planned itinerary as well as suggesting new ones to explore. He is very personable, which made our interactions with him very memorable. You can sense the sense of pride in his country and was very knowledgeable with the meaning and history of the sites we visited, which enhanced the experience. Our vehicle was clean and comfortable for our party of 6. We would not have asked for better experience working with Bronze & Boru.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! There are not enough words to express our gratitude in working with this company. Brendan, our driver, took the time to learn our interests and bucket list items and helped craft a truly unforgettable experience. It soon felt like a guided tour from a family member showing us sights we didn't even know we wanted to see, but incredibly thankful for the opportunity. We had a party of six, I recommend small group rather than large group planned itineraries! Brendan's knowledge of the country, culture and history was amazing! Would DEFINITELY use this company again and can not wait to return as there is still so much to see and do! I recommend: 1. Do some advance homework on some interests and things you want to do/see. 2. Do not schedule yourselves into a tight, overbooked preset itinerary. 3. Discuss amongst your party some consensus. Brendan was able to help us craft realistic expectations and allow us to truly enjoy the trip. There was alot of flexibility and he was more than accommodating to pivot on sights to see! Many thanks to Brendan and Bronze & Boru for being a part of an unforgettable family vacation!

Richard was our tour guide for 3 days in July of 2023. He was fantastic. He took our family of 5 on 3 different day trips and was so easy to be around , flexible and so knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him and I have to my friends and colleagues. Please call him, you will be so happy and truly enjoy your visit to Ireland!

Three of us did a day trip with Bronze & Boru from Galway through Connemara. Brendan was on time and gracious. We didn't want to conquer the world so he kept it reasonable, but we saw pretty much everything. Importantly, Brendan provided a lot of informative background and history without over talking. Totally fun day and worth every euro. Plus, a sweet Mercedes Benz.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Richard drive us for six days for part of our Ireland trip (May 2024). He customized our itinerary and took us to off-the-beaten-path spots and had wonderful recommendations for everything from restaurants, pubs and shopping spots. There were five ladies in our group (including two seniors) and Richard was so patient with us. By the end of the six days, he knew us well and would joke and laugh with us. He shared the most interesting facts/history of Ireland, and made it so personal and memorable. All five of us highly recommend hiring Bronze and Boru for your private tour. Richard is a true gem and we would use him again in a heartbeat.

Richard was our guide for a 5 day adventure from Dublin to Kilkenny, Cork, Killarney and then Galway. Simply put, he was awesome. He was fun, energetic, and enthusiastic throughout the entire trip. He took our group of 6 all over, to the spots we had laid out in the itenerary in advance, and some other small places along the way that really gave us a sense of the country. He gave us great information along the way and had great stories of things in our trip. I would highly recommend this company and anyone looking for a good tour of Ireland hosted by very good people. By the end, we had a lifelong friend in Richard. If you are on the fence - don’t be. Our vacation wouldn’t have been the same without Richard.
