Customer Stories

"Our trip was amazing! We had thought about this trip for years and finally took it with our young adult children. Lisa and Tom at Old Sod worked our itinerary to meet our travel preferences. It was perfect. The sites we were able to take in, the places we stayed, the travel by car all was so enjoyable. It was so memorable. I would recommend everyone to Old Sod!"

"We can’t thank you enough for arranging our Ireland itinerary. We did so much in 10 days. We couldn’t have done half of it without Gerry Glynn! Our accommodations were wonderful and staying at the Waterford Castle was a real treat. Driving around with Seoirse on our last day was a pleasure. Thank you!"

A great trip all around. Wonderful hotels, great food, scenery, weather, and people. Our driver had great stories to share. We were not able to do everything on our itinerary, but it was great to have options. Maybe next time we’ll be able to see it all! Many thanks to Tanya and Old Sod for helping us plan a great trip!

This golfing trip to Ireland, which was organized by Old Sod (Tom & Karen) was a "dream" come true. Every “I” was dotted and every “T” was crossed, as this trip went off without a single blemish. I would never look any further than Old Sod for a future trip!!!!

We had an amazing time. Our accommodations were over the top. Our driver, Patrick, went above and beyond. As we were at one outing, Patrick would scout out special stops along the way to our next outing. Pam, our travel agent, was full of ideas to keep everyone happy. Old Sod was professional and prompt with information. WE thank them for making our trip AWESOME!

We traveled to Ireland for 2 weeks with a group of 16 cousins. Old Sod Travel planned a great trip, and our driver was phenomenal! Our itinerary included seeing the town where my great grandparents lived in the 1800s. We really felt we experienced Ireland. The trip ended with a lot of smiles. Thank You Old Sod Travel!

We had such an amazing trip! The hotels were amazing. All very quaint and clean, and each had a fabulous breakfast. Dromoland Castle was a treasure and a treat. Jay, our driver, surely made our trip. He was so knowledgeable about history and the areas. We loved the private Guinness tour in Dublin. So glad we toured Waterford, Jameson, Rock of Cashal, and Ring of Kerry. If I had a favorite it was Dingle. Thanks again for helping us make wonderful memories!

“With­out a doubt this trip exceeded every expec­ta­tion I had; from the golf to the accom­mo­da­tions to the food to Mike, our dri­ver, and of course, the cama­raderie. My stom­ach still hurts from all the laugh­ing and good natured fun. Sim­ply the trip of a lifetime!”

“My daughter and I lucked out when we found Tom Casey and he made this trip the best one we ever went on, hands down. From horseback riding in Dingle to drinking in Galway and exploring the Skeligs, the whole trip was amazing. We stayed in the best accommodations, including at least two castles. I recommend letting Tom take the lead. Just tell him what you want to do and let him arrange the rest. You wont regret it."

“Our trip, went off without any problems. Old Sod Travel took the overwhelming task of trying see a whole country and made it manageable and fun. And with a group of seven that is not easy! We would never had seen so much on our own!”

“Returned home a couple weeks ago after 10 days in Ireland. It truly was the trip of a lifetime for our family. Stayed in great hotels, played a couple amazing golf courses, ate at fantastic restaurants and pubs, saw phenomenal countryside, and lots of local color. Susan and I simply cannot say enough about how much help Old Sod Travel was. There is nothing they cannot get done in Ireland and Scotland.”

“I just got back from what was clearly the best golf trip I have ever taken. Every course in Ire­land was fan­tas­tic (10 out of 10 or 9 our of 10 rat­ing), the food was incred­i­ble, the music unreal, the peo­ple as friendly as any on earth, and the com­pan­ion­ship excel­lent.”

“Our family of four just returned from Ireland, and I want to tell you how wonderful our trip was. We enjoyed every day we spent there. Some favorites were Galway, Dublin, the Cliffs of Moher, Killary Fjord, the Ring of Kerry, Skellig Island, Cobh, and the Waterville Golf Links. Every hotel reservation, restaurant recommendation, and sight-seeing excursion that Tanya organized was excellent, going far beyond anything we expected. Thank you for planning a trip that gave us memories to last a lifetime."

“I would like to thank Old Sod for our terrific trip to Ireland this past August. Everything that you arranged exceeded our expectations. I'm so glad we followed your recommendations, our shuttle service, hotels and golf courses were exactly as you promised. I can't wait to go back and play more of the fabulous Irish gems. I will definitely use and recommend Old Sod to all of my golf buddies. Thanks again.”

“Every­thing that you arranged exceeded our expec­ta­tions. I’m so glad we fol­lowed your rec­om­men­da­tions, our shut­tle ser­vice, hotels and golf courses were exactly as you promised. I can’t wait to go back and play more of the fab­u­lous Irish gems.”

“First of all, we love Ireland. It is absolutely beautiful....everything you said about it was true!!  

I can't thank you enough for all of the guidance you have given us, it was truly priceless.”

“Would we change anything about our trip? Perhaps that we could have stayed longer. Otherwise, close to perfect! My measure of success for our Irish experience: everyone was smiling and still talking to each other at the end of the trip. Then, the question arose, " Where are we going next?" Who knows, maybe we'll travel to see the southern sights in Ireland. If so, we will definitely call upon Tom and Susan at Old Sod Travel again!”

“Basically, I am so happy to report to you that it was one of the best planned trips we've had! Everyone agreed that though it was a splurge it was worth it. We loved Slieve League even more than Cliffs of Moher. All of the B&B's were exceptional with the best breakfasts and lovely hosts. Thank you so much for all you did. It truly was a beautiful two weeks- kids had a great time with all of it. What a beautiful, exquisite green lush country and the people were very, very friendly.”
