“Memories of our 10 glorious days in Ireland are indelibly etched on my mind. I loved the people we met, the spectacular places we visited, and the history that was woven seamlessly throughout the trip. And the best part? The glorious mix of music -- from our beloved Chuck to some of Ireland's finest musicians. On a scale of one to ten, this trip rates an eleven!” Nancy
"We've just returned from Chuck's music tour of Ireland and it was the most wonderful trip we ever could have imagined. We just loved going to all the out of the way places in Ireland and seeing the beautiful countryside and villages there. It was like going back in time. We not only had a wonderful time every place we went, but we also got to learn so much about Irish history. Our tour guide Tom went out of his way to make everything so interesting and with so many personal touches. Our bus driver Paddy was just an amazing driver and we felt so safe with him at the wheel in sometimes very hairy driving situations. And then there was all that amazing music every evening along with Chuck's terrific music. All in all - we would totally recommend this tour if anyone has an interest in going to Ireland. We can't imagine a better tour than this one and it was over and above our expectations." Joe and Judy
"The trip to Ireland with Chuck was just wonderful. It was so good to have a guide who knew where to go to hear music every night and also where to go during the day to see the best of Ireland. The guide, the driver, fellow passengers, and Chuck (of course) were fantastic traveling companions. The small size of the group made it easy to get from place to place. There was plenty of touring time and "on our own" time to make the trip just about perfect. We enjoyed this trip immensley and would love to return." Mary
“I don't like thinking during my vacations - Tom and (can't remember the driver's name) made it so that everything was taken care of perfectly which left my main decision each day being if I wanted one pint or two in the evening. Much history and touring was included with stops each day throughout southern Ireland along with Tom's humor and colorful stories. And I can't say enough about the rare opportunity to hear exceptionally talented local Irish musicians each night (and Chuck too) who most tourists would probably never find.” Vince
“When I was considering signing up for this trip, I looked at a couple of different dates, but one reason I picked Chuck's tour (aside from the fact that I'm a fan, of course) was a hunch that he would draw a particularly interesting group of travelers. That was confirmed when we started exchanging introductory emails - I was immediately struck by how interesting, accomplished, and varied the group was. Mary and I met some of you at JFK, and I immediately felt that we "clicked." That feeling continued to grow when more of us met later that day at Sheila's, and of course during that memorable meal at Gallagher's. Like you, I've never been a "tour group" traveler, and truth be told, I can't say I'm likely to do another tour in the foreseeable future - but I can't imagine a better tour, or group, than this one. I had a wonderful time, not only because of the places we went, or the music we heard, but in very large part because of meeting, eating with, drinking with, talking with, and getting to know all of you. Of course, that includes Tom, Chuck, Paddy, and Mick, all of whom added so much to our experience. I truly hope that we can meet again.” Lois
“There is only one word to describe this un-tour: MAGICAL. You'll have Tom as your guide--a bear of a man with a heart the size of a planet. You'll have Chuck's songs, which will cut through your bones on their way to your heart. You will learn and laugh and cry and hear music that touches your soul. You will come home with a new appreciation for three simple words: Life is good.” Carl |
