A 5 star personable experience thank you.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went on a day trip to Kylemore Abbey on last Saturday with Green door tours, I had a most pleasant experience. Kylemore Abbey itself was just beautiful,so well maintained and lots to see inside the Abbey. The grounds are spectacular. Lots to see and do...nice cafes, shops etc. One could spend the whole day there. Our guide for the day was Emma, a lovely lady and so very knowledgeable about the area enroute to Kylemore. Nothing was too much trouble for her.I would certainly recommend Emma and Green Door tours.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

As second timers to the beauty of Ireland, we were quite aware of the majestic landscape, picturesque greenery, and the most beautiful of people. However, thanks to the wonderful “Castles, Churches & History Tour” that we booked through Green Door Tours, we were quickly introduced to the manicured gardens, the intrigue of the castles, and Ireland’s rich history. This most recent journey across the pond, was intimate, exciting, and enchanting. Every day was meticulously planned starting with amazing home cooked breakfasts, followed by carefully crafted tour experiences, and ending with delicious and comforting suppers made by Emma and Doreen. From churches established as early as 550 AD, to the beautiful castles and gardens of this iconic place, we were filled with warmth from the boundless treasures. Take it from us, if you book a tour with Emma and stay at The Bellefield House in Shinrone, you will never sleep so well. Rick & Maria, Pittsburgh, PAPosted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Green Door Tours has awakened and nourished my love of Wild Ireland. All of our expertly planned and executed day trips from Shinrone showcased the region’s historical and cultural sites. But each of our destinations also featured an abundance of gardens and wild spaces. And the pace that we set every day always gave us time to stop and smell the roses whenever we wanted. Living for a week within the Royal Horticultural Society Gardens at Bellefield House, in a relaxed family atmosphere with gourmet meals prepared by our host, was the height of comfort and relaxation. Can’t wait for next year’s tour. Marc B.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I loved the great meals that were prepared for us every day by Emma. And she was careful to always have something tasty in the kitchen so that we could just go grab a snack or make a pot of tea whenever we were at home. The flower gardens were delightful. It was interesting to learn bits of history, both ancient and modern, at several of the sites we visited. The Shannon River cruise was relaxing and beautiful. But my favorite of all was our Pub Night of community fun and traditional music.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an absolutely fantastic tour! We saw so many fantastic sites - some touristy spots, some not, and spent each night staying in the most beautiful old house, eating the most delicious home-cooked food. Totally unforgettable trip in a very beautiful country.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fabulous trip to Ireland with Green Door Tours in August 2023. Emma's home cooked meals, using farm to table produce and fabulous family recipes, made the stay at the beautiful Bellefield House sublime. We toured the Rock of Cashel, the Cliffs of Moher, Birr Castle, learned about my husbands family heritage, roamed the gardens of Bellefield House, among other intriguing places. Choosing Green Door Tours provided us an authentic experience of the Irish culture. We highly recommend touring with Green Door Tours!!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Ireland last August with Green Door Irish Tours. Our tour managers made us feel at home as they welcomed us to their homeland. Our visits to the surrounding area and further took us to fascinating ancient castle sites, even prehistoric structures, a cheese factory, the natural wonder of the Cliffs of Moher, just to mention a few. Our accommodations in a large country house were comfortable, and our several home-cooked meals were delicious! Visiting a local pub on its music night was a treat, too. We would highly recommend this experience!
