Testimonials
My sister Fran and I had the distinct pleasure of sharing time, many informative and entertaining moments with Naill M. Cleary. There are no adjectives that I can readily access to describe his intelligence, professionalism, humor and his wealth of knowledge and information regarding Ireland. He was recommended by my son who had frequented Ireland in the past and used Niall’s services. We were fledglings and he took us in hand and suggested the best tours that would peak our interest, places to dine for lunch and dinner and, above all, shopping. We were quite at ease in his presence and savored his enthusiasm, knowledge, many laughing moments and the amicable relationship my sister Fran and I developed towards Niall. He made our visit a most memorable one. He is an absolute asset to Best of Ireland Tours.
