Ireland is a magical land and never disappoints! My friends made all the plans with Henry prior to our arrival so I really wasn’t sure what to expect. Although not our first trip to Ireland it was the first time we used a Tour Guide which made for such a wonderful visit. Henry thought of everything so we could just focus on having a good time and enjoying all the sights, cities and quaint towns. He is extremely knowledgeable and very witty so lots of laughter as we traveled about. I look forward to spending time with Henry again on our next trip to Ireland.

Trip of a lifetime…making memories!
Henry promptly picked us up at Dublin airport and we travelled to Galway for a day. We explored Donegal County for three days, travelled on to Derry, Belfast and then circled back to Dublin. Each of the 7 days was filled with unbelievable experiences. Henry is an excellent driver who is courteous and very knowledgeable of his country.
Henry is the best!
Henry is the best!! My family and I (group of 7) traveled with Henry for four days. We went to Glenveagh, Slieve League, Derry, Giants Causeway, and Belfast. His van is spacious and comfortable. Henry is super knowledgable, friendly, and funny! Because of our large group, we didn’t feel comfortable driving ourselves. Having Henry was perfect – as he drove he gave us information about the land, knows how long to give you at each stop, and is very flexible – we changed up our itinerary mid trip. My family and I cannot recommend Henry enough – it’s well worth it and he’s a great addition to your journey!
Thank you Henry for a fabulous day that we will never forget!
After being picked up at our hotel, the seven of us were taken on a beautiful adventure, including tracking down our grandparents house Henry is knowledgeable, excellent driver. and was able to time every stop for optimal enjoyment. Within minutes of getting into his beautiful car he knew all seven of our names and figured out the relationships. He was able to draw everyone in to the experience. We could not recommend spending a day with Henry any higher. He is simply the best.
Family Trip With Heritage!
Henry helped the family explore Donegal’s coastline and even assisted in locating ancestral graves. His local insight, restaurant tips, and spotless Mercedes van made the journey smooth and memorable.
5 star review for Henry!
Our family may not agree on many things but we overwhelmingly agree Henry made our trip great well beyond our expectations! If you are thinking of traveling in Ireland and want a guide who goes above and beyond look no further than Henry
We highly recommend using Henry as your tour guide!
Henry Doohan was the perfect tour guide for our group of four brothers from the US in Ireland to honor the passing of our mother from Ireland. He catered to a couple of specific requests such as showing us a few things in Derry close to our pickup point that were helpful to know. Also at our request, he told us about his experience being interviewed by Conan O’Brien, but offered several humorous anecdotes
Henry was absolutely amazing from start to finish!
I was able to contact him and set up our tour months in advance and he was at our meeting place, right on time. He is kind and courteous, and has the best suggestions for things off the beaten path. He even called and made a reservation at a restaurant for us knowing that was the only thing that would be open when we return from our tour. I would highly recommend him.
Tour of County Donegal and beyond!
Henry was amazing…from the moment he picked us up at Dublin airport and whisked us up to Buncrana to when he said good bye to us in Galway. If you are lucky enough to have Henry show you the amazing sights in Ireland then you are lucky! We will be back to Ireland and we will see Henry again!
Best Tour Experience in Ireland – Thanks to Henry!
If you’re planning a trip to Ireland, do yourself a favor and book Henry as your driver and guide. My family of seven recently toured Galway, Dingle, Kinsale, and Dublin with him—and it was truly the trip of a lifetime.
From the moment we met him, Henry treated us like family. His deep knowledge of Irish history, culture, and hidden gems brought every stop to life. He worked with us on an original itinerary and was flexible and accommodating based on our interests—making sure every day was personalized and meaningful.
Henry’s warmth, humor, and passion for Ireland made all the difference. We can’t recommend him highly enough!
Worth every penny!
Amazing tour! Probably the best part of our trip to Ireland. Henry was such a lovely person to spend the day with and his personal connection to the area added to the experience. We can’t wait to go back!
