This was the best experience of my trip and I highly recommend taking a drive with Derek. I booked a trip with Derek a few weeks before heading to Dublin over St. Patrick's Day. Derek responded quickly to all my emails and answered all my questions. He was dependable, extremely knowledgeable, friendly, open, and kind. He shared stories and memories... More

Derek Smith was a wonderful tour guide and driver. He was like a walking encyclopedia answering all my husbands questions. Often the history lesson was topped off with a personal story. We were part of a larger tour group but opted to leave our group and book a day with Derek for one of our days. Riding through the countryside... More

The private day tour of Beautiful Meath with Derek Smith was one of the highlights of our August trip to Dublin. We are a family of four with two children, ages 19 and 17. Booking with Derek was quick and easy a few weeks before we arrived and he picked us up promptly at our hotel in a comfortable minivan.... More

We enjoyed our tour with Derek very much. He does the Irish storytelling-tradition pride: we learnt a lot about local myths and trivia as well as funny personal experiences :-) Derek is very attentive funny and friendly. His good planning allowed us to see six sites, customized to our needs. The tour bus was spacious and comfortable. Many thanks!

Derek has his tours down! My girlfriends and I took a tour with Derek during St. Paddy's day weekend. A very busy tourist time. We had an amazing day! We didn't deal with the population of bus tours! We were the first to get to Bru na Boinne and see the amazing piece of history and we took photo opportunities... More

My tour was done by Derek Smith and I cannot say enough great things about him and the tour. My 3 girlfriends and I 100% agree that this tour was the best part about our trip to Ireland. Derek has a passion for history and was a wealth of information about the sites. He was friendly, profession, accommodating and fun.... More

Ireland is a place we will try to return to a few times, and I must say that we will try to get Derek to take us around again when we come back, as well. There aren't hardly any other tours that will take you to Meath. Thank goodness Derek decided to fill this niche, because the amazing sites and... More

Derek Smith gave us a wonderful day. My husband and I were traveling with another couple, and wanted to see Trim and other sites along the way. Derek insured we got to see all the sites of Meath and other recommended sites we did not know about. He also knew schedules, he clearly knew the in/outs of each site including... More

We wanted a private car and guide to visit Newgrange for a half day tour, when in Dublin recently. Derek provided a great trip,interesting and really personal. He was local and had plenty of little anecdotes to bring the trip to life, as well as an easy manner and good knowledge of the area. We would recommend his tours to... More
