Jody was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in my planning of my pre-tour trip. She knows a considerable amount about Ireland and their culture. I can hardly wait for the solo woman only tour. It sounds like a blast!

I have been enjoying listening to Jody’s podcast on Spotify about vacationing in Ireland. So, I decided to reach out to Jody via email requesting a recommendation for a private driver for our trip to Ireland in the fall. We have a a group of 10 people going. Jody was quick to reply with a name of a company and put us in contact with them. We booked with them knowing Jody highly recommended them. Thank you Jody for your assistance! Slainte

Jody has been so helpful in our planning for this trip step by step and encouraging us how to enjoy the planning so we can truly experience Ireland. Her knowledge is endless and her enthusiasm is contagious. The Compass is a great tool she created to familiarize us with the different areas and all that is available. We have really enjoyed working with her.

Jody is an Ireland expert with so many great ideas! Her travel coaching service is a must for anyone planning a trip to Ireland. She will tell you what to skip, what to add, what to book ahead and what not. She was very generous with her time and attention both on the call and afterwards in the detailed notes. She answered all of my questions and even linked emergency services information. I would definitely consult her again!

We spent three weeks in Ireland in October. Jody's website was extremely helpful in our planning, particularly regarding car rental. After verifying with Jody that the contactless car rental option was viable, we booked the rental. It turned out to be exactly as advertised - straight from baggage claim to the car, and on return straight from parking the car to checking in. Almost too easy. I believe the total cost was also very competitive.
