Tiernan Travel Reviews 43

If you are looking for a travel experience that is truly seamless, stress-free, and filled with unforgettable moments, Finola Rigby at Tiernan Travel is absolutely the person you want in your corner!
From start to finish, Finola demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism and care that made our entire trip extraordinary. Her communication throughout the planning process was outstanding — she kept us informed every step of the way and made us feel completely confident that every detail was being handled with precision.
And the details? Flawless. Finola's attention to every aspect of our trip was remarkable, leaving absolutely nothing to chance. She anticipated our needs before we even thought to ask, which made the entire experience feel effortless on our end.
What truly blew us away, however, was her ability to secure us amazing seats for the Vikings NFL game in London. As a football fan, this was an absolute dream come true, and it would not have happened without Finola's connections and dedication to making our trip something truly special. That is the kind of above-and-beyond service that you simply cannot put a price on!
Finola Rigby is a true gem in the travel industry — knowledgeable, resourceful, warm, and genuinely passionate about creating incredible experiences for her clients. We cannot thank her enough and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone planning their next adventure!

My colleague recommended Tiernan Travel for my clients' travel to Ireland and it was a wonderful experience. Communication was fantastic and every detail of my clients' trip went smoothly. The guides used by Tiernan Travel made their experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

I decided to partner with Tiernan from the recommendation of several fellow Travel Advisors, and I could not have picked a better partner to work with. My first clients just returned from their trip to Ireland, and they had the most wonderful things to say about their trip! It was a multi-generational trip, where the clients were hopeful to be able to locate the resting place of their ancestors. They were filled with emotion in describing how the guide/driver that Tiernan arranged went out of his way to connect with locals and help them find exactly what they were looking for. They thoroughly enjoyed every experience, guide, and hotel that was selected for them. Finola was so responsive and really made this first experience a breeze. I look forward to many future trips with Tiernan. Thank you to Finola and the Tiernan Team for helping me curate this memorable experience for my clients.

Tiernan Travel was an excellent partner in helping curate the perfect Ireland itinerary for a couple celebrating a few milestones. They were so patient with questions, making necessary changes, and explaining choices to make the best experience for the client. I will continue to work with their team for all of my UK travel clients.

I worked with Tiernan for the first time at the recommendation of a fellow travel advisor. My clients (family of 6 adults) enjoyed a ten day trip to Scotland complete with lots of special touches for a milestone birthday as well as an anniversary. The team was fab to work with and very communicative throughout the process. I look forward to partnering with them again.

I just had my first clients with Tiernan return from Scotland. I sought out Tiernan at the recommendation of several other travel advisors who had very high praise for the Tiernan team. I was very impressed. The turnaround time, and level of customer service is extraordinary. Finola was so responsive and worked hard to make sure my clients got everything and more than they were looking for in their first visit to Scotland. During and after travel, the clients praised the experience. For anyone looking for a level up, customized, UK experience, Tiernan is it.

With Tiernan, everything is truly seamless from start to finish. Their team communicates promptly and has some of the best turn-around times for proposals in the industry. As a travel advisor, I love that their proposals are truly turnkey (and beautiful!), which saves me an enormous amount of time and helps me close the sale with the client even faster.

My first round of clients with Tiernan just returned from their travels to Scotland. Everything was seamless, and the clients raved about every part of their experience - from the guides to the drivers and the accommodations. It was truly the trip of a lifetime for them.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with the team at Tiernan and I am looking forward to continuing to partner with them for all of our UK and Ireland travel requests!

Working with Tiernan Travel was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They were incredibly quick in providing a thoughtful and well-paced itinerary for my clients, and Kristine was fantastic in making a few tailored adjustments to suit their preferences. Their customer service was seamless throughout the entire 24-night journey.

My clients had a wonderful experience—especially praising the outstanding guides in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, who not only shared their deep knowledge but also introduced them to off-the-beaten-path gems they truly loved. The hotel selected in Edinburgh was exceptional, and train travel between destinations went off without a hitch.

Phillip and Finola were also quick to respond to any questions I had, offering consistent, behind-the-scenes support if needed that allowed both myself and my clients to relax and enjoy the experience.

I’m so grateful for the professionalism and care the Tiernan Travel team brings to the table, and I’m excited to work with them again in the future.

We used Tiernan Travel through our trusted travel advisor Lindsay Kowalski of LK Travel Group in New York and we were so happy with our trip! From start to finish, every last detail was flawless and they created a wonderful trip for my mother and I. We had such a wonderful private walking tour guide in Dublin with our tour guide Austin, who was so knowledgeable and made the history of the city come to life with his great stories. When we drove to Galway, our driver Patrick was absolutely phenomenal, also so knowledgeable about the area, friendly and helped us to have the most fun time. This is the company to use!

We recently collaborated with Tiernan Travel to create a custom Ireland itinerary for one of my top clients, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Kristine and Phillip provided an incredibly quick turnaround and helped bring this itinerary to life seamlessly—even on a tight timeline.

The clients, Tim and Isabel Pickens, had an exceptional experience from start to finish. They loved each of their accommodations (The Alex, Randles Hotel, and The Hardiman), which were all well-located and comfortable, allowing for easy exploration. Their private tours and drivers were top-notch—especially the Dublin walking tour, the Jaunting Cars experience in Killarney, and the scenic Cliffs of Moher/Aran Islands and Connemara tours. They especially appreciated how knowledgeable and passionate the guides were about Irish history and culture.

From smooth transitions between cities to curated experiences and standout dining recommendations (like Hugo’s and Cronin’s), everything was handled with care and precision. The result? A stress-free, joy-filled adventure across Ireland that exceeded expectations.

Thank you again, Tiernan Travel, for being such a trusted partner. I look forward to many more amazing trips together!

Having worked with a few team members at Tiernan Travel has been an absolute dream. Their communication is timely, and they’re always responsive—no matter the time zone or the complexity of the request. What truly sets them apart is their deep destination knowledge and their ability to ask the right questions to truly understand our clients’ preferences. Their thoughtful partnerships with top-tier local guides ensure each client is matched with someone who aligns with their interests and travel style. Their taste is impeccable, their itineraries are beautifully crafted, and they always put the client’s needs first. Above all, their flexibility and adaptability make them an invaluable partner in creating extraordinary travel experiences. Couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Tiernan Travel is a fabulous DMC partner. They were responsive and so easy to work with. My clients loved their itinerary and had a wonderful experience on their trip.

Tiernan Travel made curating an incredible trip for my clients to London such a breeze! They were patient and accommodating with my clients' needs. The hotel they suggested was in a perfect location and the tours they scheduled were my clients favorite part of their whole trip!

The team at Tiernan Travel was delightful to work with from beginning to end. They took such amazing care of my clients this summer. From their thoughtful creation of the itineraries to being on point throughout client travels, this team showed that they are true professionals who care about the quality of experiences they are providing. I will definitely be working with them again in the future.

We've had the pleasure of working with Tiernan Travel on several trips to Scotland, and they have consistently exceeded our expectations. Their attention to detail and seamless planning process make them a top choice for our clients.

Every itinerary they create is not only beautifully crafted but also filled with fun and memorable experiences. Communication with their team is always clear and efficient, making the entire process easy and enjoyable.

If you’re looking for a reliable and creative partner for Scotland travel, we highly recommend Tiernan Travel!

My goodness, how I love working with the team at Tieran Travel! I am a US-based travel advisor who had been looking for a great DMC for my United Kingdom Clients. Tieran has gone above and beyond to meet my needs.

After submitting a client inquiry, they quickly create a beautiful proposal that sells itself to my clients. But where they really shine is in their customer service. They answer questions and make changes in a timely manner.

When clients are in country, they are provided with a contact in the UK for any emergencies, giving me a lot of piece of mind that my clients are ok while I'm sleeping (due to the large time difference). Often times when problems do arise, the team is aware before the clients, and they come to me to let me know what the issue is and how it has been resolved.

I had five families travel with Tieran Travel this summer and I can't wait to work with them once again!

I've had three sets of clients travel so far with Tiernan Travel and they all come back raving about their experiences. They really feel listened to about their wishlist in particular -- we never feel like Kristine is just giving us "cookie cutter" options! Kristine is really responsive with in-travel issues and is very thoughtful with hotel selection and proposing activities. I appreciate the opportunity to build a partnership rather than feeling like a anonymous person working with a big-box TO company (if you know, you know). Thank you Tiernan Travel!

Tiernan Travel is always our go to with UK + Ireland trips. Kristine and her team are fabulous, professional, quick to respond, and have amazing ground service for our clients. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a solid, reliable partner in the British Isles. Thank you so much for your partnership!

Honestly an amazing partner to help plan custom bespoke travel for the UK and Ireland. Both Kristine and Zach are responsive and unique in their trip designs. Clients rave about their guides as well making everything perfect. A real go to for this region.

A wonderful planning and traveling experience!!
You could not have planned or executed anything better! My clients were delighted with every stop and new experience! The private driver that escorted them for the full 2 weeks was very polite, courteous and helfpul! A particularly outstanding highlight was Skellig Michael!
Thank you for an amazing trip!!
