Another incredible adventure with Eamonn - This was our second time touring Ireland with Eamonn, and once again, he absolutely exceeded our expectations! Eamonn is incredibly knowledgeable, outgoing, and personable, the kind of guide who instantly makes you feel at ease and ensures every moment of your trip is memorable.
No matter the weather, rain or shine, Eamonn always has a creative alternative plan ready to go so your experience never misses a beat. His dining recommendations are spot on, offering everything from cozy local pubs to fine dining, always with that authentic Irish touch.
Eamonn’s attention to detail, organization, and genuine care for his guests truly set him apart. He works tirelessly to make sure everyone is comfortable, engaged, and having the time of their lives. If you’re looking for a true Irish adventure with someone who knows the country inside and out, Eamonn’s chaperone service is second to none.
We can’t wait to return to Ireland again and when we do, there’s no question we’ll be booking with Eamonn! 🇮🇪

A wonderful day out in Wicklow and Dublin sites with a terrific guide - We had a fabulous day in the Wicklow countryside with Eamonn Hourigan as our expert guide and driver. Eamonn put together a lovely tour for us that showed us around parts of the outskirt of Dublin and then we went all around Wicklow. He is extremely knowledgable and we had great fun visiting ancient sites, waterfalls, an overlook where the tv show Vikings was filmed and a drive through the glorious Sally Gap in the Wicklow mountains. We had lunch at a wonderful local restaurant, the Wicklow Heather in Glendalough. My husband and I always make videos of sites for our grandkids-Eamonn got into the spirit of that with us and told a terrific story about a yew tree and archery as well as pointing out a leprachaun gate--both stories the kids loved. We highly recommend Eamonn-he is full of wonderful information about the countryside. He was very responsive during our initial outreach and booking process as well as reaching out to use prior to tour day. His car was extremely comfortable and we enjoyed the day immensely.

Authentic and unforgettable countryside experience with the best! - Eamonn is the best tour guide—truly a gem of a human! He made sure we had the absolute best time in Dublin. My husband and I visited Ireland for the first time in November 2024, and we traveled in style—from Dublin city center to the countryside in Kildare—to see the wonderfully trained Irish working sheepdogs.
It was incredible to watch Michael work with the border collies at the foot of the Wicklow Mountains. This was a true Irish countryside experience, and one my husband and I would definitely return for.
Also, a big thank you to Eamonn for introducing me to Tayto chips. He had a stash in his trunk, which I happily ate for breakfast. And trust me—after a night of good Irish whiskey, those crisps really hit the spot.

Amazing, fun family-friendly trip! Highly recommend! - We had a wonderful day filled with pure adventure! We enjoyed seeing the countryside and learning about the history of Ireland! The kids enjoyed the sheep herding, an outdoor maze and running around the lakes. Lunch was delicious as well. Thank you for such an enjoyable day!

Magical Day - Eamonn planned an amazing day for my husband and me! He tailored the day to our interests, starting with a visit to K2 Alpaca Farm. We immediately felt like old friends. We left Dublin and were driven along the coast through beautiful towns past lakes with several short stops of interest along the way. Eamonn had arranged for a private tour at Glendalough and made lunch reservations for us. We stopped for some Gaelic sports craic. My husband was pretty good! The private demonstration of sheepherding dogs and drum tutorial at Michael's farm were a perfect end to the day. Eamonn clearly loves what he does and has a wealth of knowledge of Irish history, culture and music. We enjoyed listening to Irish traditional music along the way. And he knows how to tell a story! We look forward to planning another private tour with him!

The only way to truly see Ireland - The best decision we made was to book ChaperoneVIP from a friend’s advice who had used his services previously, they gave outstanding reviews and now we know why, one of our fears was trying to navigate an unfamiliar country while driving on the opposite side of the road, along with the outrageous car rental prices, it was no brainer to hire ChaperoneVIP, you are truly treated to VIP excursions, everything is taken cared of for reservations to lunch and dinner, stories of Irelands history and music fill the warm van as you take in the gorgeous views of the countryside. Never could do this on our own, prices very reasonable, already planning our next trip with Eamonn. Highly recommended!!

Go with Eamonn to see a genuine Ireland! - We have two kids— a teen and an 8 year old and it’s always a priority for us that they have a chance to learn about the people, history and culture of our destination. Eamonn exceeded our expectations and made his half day tour special and memorable. We learned about Irish history, learned some Gaelic, sang some songs, and got to see some amazing sites! The sheep dog demo took place at Michael’s farm and we got to meet Maggie, a brilliant dog who moved the sheep over our way! Michael himself was also a highlight as he patiently explained how it all worked! The entire experience felt genuine and we will undoubtedly remember some standout moments from the tour and also what we learned from Eamonn. I highly recommend this if you have kids and want to make the most of your trip! I’ll be recommending Eamonn to friends.

Totally worth the money! - Do it don't think just book you won't regret it. We got to hold puppies and have a sheepdog herding demo and learn so much about the training. The views of Wicklow were incredible! We stopped at pubs and learned history and topped it all off with drinks at a bar with live music where the performers were fantastic and the people were amazing!
