Your Personal Guide to the Real Ireland

A Passion for Sharing Ireland
I’m Peter Cooney, a Fáilte Ireland certified tour guide, and I founded Personal Tours Ireland with a simple mission: to share the authentic beauty, rich history, and warm hospitality of my homeland. With over 10 years in business, my company has grown from a passion for creating truly personal, flexible, and luxurious tours that go beyond the standard bus trip.
I wanted to create experiences that felt less like a tour and more like you were visiting a friend who knew all the best spots—the hidden gems, the local pubs with the best stories, and the most breathtaking views away from the crowds. This philosophy is at the heart of everything I do today.
“I don’t just show you Ireland; I help you experience it.”
– Peter Cooney, Founder & Certified Guide
My Promise to You
Every journey you take with me is built on a foundation of quality, comfort, and a genuine love for Ireland.
Authentic Experiences
I take you beyond the tourist trail to discover the true culture and character of Ireland.
Unmatched Flexibility
Your tour is your own. I plan around your interests and schedule, not the other way around.
Expert Local Guide
Comfort & Style
You’ll travel in a modern, luxury Mercedes vehicle for a first-class experience.
Many of my guests travel with family, so I’ve designed my tours to ensure everyone feels welcome and comfortable. Whether it’s finding activities that excite both children and adults, arranging suitable meal stops, or choosing routes that allow for rest when needed, I make sure your family can explore Ireland without stress.
My modern Mercedes vehicle offers plenty of space and comfort and I tailor the pace of each day around your family’s interests and energy levels.
