Kilkenny

Days 3 & 4 were my favorite so far! First, we traveled by train to Kilkenny.  It was great to get to see the country side,as it quickly passed by.  We dropped off our luggage and then we had lunch at the most delicious pub called Kyteler”s Inn ! (This is a must !!!) this was such an interesting place with so much history! Next, to the Kilkenny castle, which was called the Butler Castle from 1391 - 1967. It was really spectacular! I can’t imagine living like they didway back then.  On to Smitheicks brewery tour.  It was informative and tasty!  I actually liked this tour better than Guinness! It was very interactive. Then we explored some of the town and had dinner at our least favorite place, “The Left Bank”.  It was in an old bank which was beautiful, but not so impressed with the food. I had Shepards Pie and they didn’t have HP or Brown Sauce (if you know me this is my sauce...) and Mark had Fish & Chips and they didn’t have Malt Vinegar ??? They did have a killer Vanila Crème Brûlée!  We stayed @ The Hibernian Hotel .  Nice accommodations, very friendly staff, but no AC so it was a little warm.  The next morning we had breakfast then went to see St Mary’s Cathedral.  Cathedrals / Abbeys of Europe are always Amazing!  Did a little shopping, and then it was time to catch the train back to Dublin.  (We left our personalized glasses from Smithewicks in the lobby and they were so gracious to send them via mail to the states to our house (I paid postage... ),  but they took the time to go to ther post office and send them!!!)  I loved Kilkenny , it is cute and quaint with a lot of history!  Back to Dublin where we stayed the night @ Hilton. Had fantastic Indian take away! We have enjoyed our trip to Ireland, but wish we had at least one more day to see some of the sights on our list that we didn’t get to... I guess we will just have to come back!

Highly recommend Butler Travels!!!

Sarah McGee

Highly recommend Butler Travels!!! We had an international trip planned and had to make a last minute change (1 week prior to departure) to stay in the USA. She helped us find a rental property in less than 12 hours to ensure that our family got to go on vacation. She was attentive to every detail to accommodate the requests of all of our travel party. We are already retaining her for our 2025 family vacation 🩷🩷🩷

Amazing Family Trip

We had Shawn help us book a cruise  for a family celebration- she was AWESOME!! Shawn was amazing and helped book everything- making sure our cabins were close to each other and helping us with port excursions. It was so easy and she stayed on top of it!  Whenever we had a question, she was always there for us even if we asked the same when over and over.  Super friendly and always checking if we needed anything else! Easiest decision we made was using her as our agent. In fact we booked with her again just 5 days after our last trip!  Thank you Shawn for helping us create an amazing family trip!

Welch 15 year Anniversary

Welch 15 years Anniversary Sandals Halcyon, St Lucia

My husband and I had been talking for the longest about going back to St. Lucia where we got married 15 years ago to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We weren’t sure we could make this dream a reality but Shawn helped make our dream come true. She was easy to work with and helped research all the possible options. She took care of so many of the details; she made traveling seamless and enjoyable.
I will use her again for sure!
