Guests’ own words
“He Gets You The Best!”
None of what follows was written for a website. These are thank-you notes Brendan’s guests pressed into his hand or sent after they landed home — on hotel notepaper, on the backs of cards, by text from the airport gate. They’re transcribed here word for word, with only private contact details left out. The originals are kept on file.

“We couldn’t ask for a better experience in Ireland with our driver and tour guide Brendan. The van was spacious and clean and perfect for touring Ireland. We had a loose itinerary — six days total: Westport, Killarney and Dublin — and Brendan had great suggestions and took us to places we will never forget. He was extremely personable and kind and made our trip to Ireland so very memorable. Brendan felt like part of our family and we were sad when our vacation ended. Can’t wait to go back! We strongly recommend Flynns Coaches!”

“Can’t thank you enough for the wonderful time we have had while being guided around Ireland. You made our trip very special with your attention to all of our needs, including arranging special activities that we would not have otherwise seen. The side trip to the golf course was amazing and one we won’t forget. Your stories kept us entertained while also giving us an insight to the real Ireland.”

“Thank you so much for taking us to such awesome places with great live music and dancing. Thank you for sharing your love of sport with us. It was amazing to go to the Westmeath pitch and learn about our Irish heritage and the games that come with it. Also thank you for taking such great care of my son and parents throughout the drive. Austin will treasure your conversations.”
