Authentic Irish Tours
Discover unique moments with curated private travel.
Here are just some of the experiences that visitors to Ireland love – you might like to include some of these in your private tour.
Private Experiences
Touraloora offers a carefully curated collection of private experiences designed to add depth, character, and unforgettable moments to your journey through Ireland.
From music and food to craftsmanship, islands, and cultural encounters, each experience is chosen to bring you closer to the people, places, and stories that make Ireland so distinctive.
Ancestry Tours
Perhaps you want to build a tour around a visit to your Irish family or their resting place, trace your Irish roots or visit your family homestead. I’ll help you design your own tour from scratch. If you would like to take an Ancestry Tour, I recommend gathering as much information about your Irish family as you possibly can, before you visit. I can also highly recommend a local and very knowledgeable Certified Genealogist, who has helped many of my guests to find their Irish roots. If you would like to use this service its important to allow plenty of time for them to do their research and present their information to you, before you come to Ireland, in order to obtain a complete picture and to ensure an interesting and rewarding trip.
Check out my reviews to hear what my guests enjoyed most about tracing their roots and seeing Ireland with me.
“Our trip was truly the adventure of a lifetime. Angela was an absolutely amazing guide. Her recommendations and knowledge were more than we could have ever thought to ask for!”
Laura Sullivan
“Hiring Angela to be our driver was one of the best decisions I made for our trip to Ireland. I didn’t want to drive myself but wanted to visit areas in Ireland where my family is from that aren’t easily accessible by public transportation .”
Tricia Shelley
“Though we had been to Ireland before, this trip was unforgettable because of Angela. Our group of seven spent ten extraordinary days touring Ireland with Angela, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
Mary Treseler
“TouraLoora is terrific! With humor, patience, extensive knowledge and great music, Angela guided our family group of seven across Ireland last week.”
Jennifer Brown
“Angela’s history knowledge is extensive! We learned a LOT on a recent tour, something you don’t always get. Angela is fun, passionate about Ireland and flexible!”

Irish Music and Secret Sessions
Experience Ireland through its music, song, and storytelling. Enjoy traditional sessions in atmospheric settings, intimate concerts, and exclusive Secret Sessions arranged especially for your group, with some of Ireland’s finest musicians and singers.
Food and Drink experiences
Ireland’s food and drink scene is rich, creative, and rooted in place. From distilleries and breweries to mead makers, artisan producers, and guided food tours, I can arrange exceptional experiences wherever your journey takes you.
Farm Experiences and Cookery Classes
Experience life on an Irish farm and enjoy home cooking demonstrations and hands on baking and cookery classes. Enjoy an introduction to Irish cooking, from soda bread and scones to classic dishes such as Irish stew. These experiences are a lovely way to connect with local food traditions in a relaxed and memorable setting. Why not make a day of it? I know just the place.
Meet the Maker
Discover Ireland’s heritage of craftsmanship through visits to skilled makers and artisans, including those creating traditional musical instruments. It is a wonderful way to experience the depth of Ireland’s cultural identity and the people who keep its traditions alive.
Island Hopping and Boat Tours
Ireland’s islands offer some of the country’s most evocative landscapes and stories. Whether you choose the Aran Islands, the Blasket Islands, Skellig Michael, Achill, or the islands of Donegal, each destination brings its own sense of beauty, history, and authenticity.
Farm and Sheepdog Demonstrations
For a genuine glimpse of rural Ireland, include a farm visit or sheepdog demonstration in your itinerary. These experiences offer a personal and memorable insight into the traditions, landscape, and working life of the Irish countryside.
Game of Thrones Film Locations
For fans of the series, Northern Ireland’s Game of Thrones filming locations offer a striking blend of cinematic landscapes and iconic sites. I can also arrange the Studio Tour or the Doors Trail for a deeper behind-the-scenes experience.

We also provide private transportation throughout Ireland, including airport transfers, chauffeur services, and transport for corporate, film, television, and commercial projects.
