Your Private Ireland Tour Guide
The best parts of Ireland are often the places that never appear in guidebooks. After years travelling Ireland's roads, I still enjoy sharing hidden coastal routes, quiet villages, local music sessions and breathtaking viewpoints that many visitors never discover.
Every tour is tailored to the people travelling with me. From the comfort of my vehicle, you'll experience Ireland at your own pace, with local knowledge, personal recommendations and genuine Irish hospitality along the way.

Real Experiences
REAL STORIES FROM GUESTS WHO EXPLORED IRELAND WITH MARTIN
The best moments in Ireland are often the ones you never planned for — a quiet coastal stop, music in a local pub, or a conversation with people you meet along the way. Martin Hurley Tours is built around relaxed, personal travel experiences that give guests the freedom to slow down, explore naturally, and experience Ireland in a more meaningful and authentic way.
“Our 10-day Ireland trip with Martin was easily the best way we could have traveled. He showed us hidden places we never would have found ourselves, recommended fantastic local pubs, and helped us experience Ireland in a much more personal way. We still talk about the music, the scenery, and the people we met along the journey.”
Heidi Hanson – Minneapolis, Minnesota
“By the end of the tour it honestly felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend instead of a tour guide. Martin made every stop feel meaningful and personal. His knowledge of Ireland, local history, and hidden gems made the entire experience unforgettable.”
Tom & Jeri Gibbons
“Martin helped create one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. From scenic hidden locations to personal stories and local history, the entire journey felt authentic and incredibly special. We cannot imagine exploring Ireland any other way.”
