Verified Patrick Larkin is simply the best driver ever!
Our trip to Ireland was greatly enhanced by our wonderful driver, Patrick Larkin! His amazing sense of Irish history and his wonderful sense of humor and fun made our trip one we will never forget. Trust me when I say, Patrick's care and concern for our comfort and entertainment were second to none. If he would be available to us for all our travels, we would hire him everywhere we go in the world! Truly!

Verified Best vacation ever!
Patrick is THE BEST! He made our family vacation stress free and so much fun. He always had amazing recommendations and knew history about everywhere we went. We loved having our own personal tour guide. He was very accommodating and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend to anyone taking a trip to Ireland! See you soon in the states!!

Verified Family of four rates 10/10!
Let me start by saying that our family of four rated our Ireland vacation a 10/10 because of Patrick. The moment he picked us up we knew we were in good hands with his welcoming personality, pristine van and appreciated amenities like water and chargers. We worked on our 5-day itinerary ahead of time, but he was flexible as we made changes during the week we were there. He was so responsive by text as well as phone, that I was able to relax ahead of the trip knowing I didn’t have to do the legwork on directions, find out about the entry fees for landmarks, or stress out about driving on the opposite side of the road. His knowledge of Ireland and its history made for a fun educational experience as we visited some of the popular landmarks as well as lesser-known ones that he shared. He personalized this trip for our family so all ages were engaged and made our anniversary celebration so special. We had so many laughs together and created lifetime memories. We will always be grateful that Patrick was recommended to us by close friends and we hope to see him soon in the States! Thank you, Patrick, it will be hard to ever top this vacation!

Verified See Ireland with Patrick!
We had such a great time with Patrick as he drove us around Ireland. Not only is he a good and safe driver (for which we were very grateful on those extremely narrow Irish roads), but he's also well-organized and a ton of fun. When our schedules permitted, he made recommendations for experiences that weren't on our itinerary (for example, the Dunbrody famine ship, an evening of amazing Irish dancing, a sheepdog trial), and they turned out to be some of our favorite parts of the trip. We appreciated his local knowledge, insights into Irish history and great storytelling. Truly the best guide/driver we could have imagined. Patrick is very thoughtful, a good human and such an enhancement to our trip. I'm disappointed we never remembered to take a photo with him, because our trip would not have been as good without him. Thank you, Patrick!

Verified Wonderful trip exploring Ireland
We can't thank Patrick enough for being such a superb driver safely taking our group of four around Ireland. His Mercedes rode like a charm over the highways and small country roads. More than managing miles and luggage he added superb local knowledge always delivered with classic Irish wit and humor. He made excellent recommendations whenever time or weather constraints arose. His suggestion to take in a Gaelic football match was a blast. We forgave him for his Ryder Cup passion as his team brought home the win for Europe. Patrick added tremendous value to our trip functioning as an all-in-one resource. No wasted time as he lined up tickets, suggested sites to see and places to eat. Highly recommend his service. Thank you, Patrick, for the 5 STAR service!

Verified Trip of a Lifetime
It’s hard to even begin in regards to how amazing our family vacation was to Ireland this summer with Patrick! From the moment we met Patrick at the airport his interaction with our two children 8 & 13 was amazing! He was able to read our family and made sure to find things that we would all enjoy! Not only were all the views fantastic we went to the toy soldier factory, learned the sport of hurling (even came home with our own sticks), found the most amazing apple crumble, best spots for a pint, learned all about herding sheep and played some american football on the beach just to name a few!! Our kids still won’t stop talking about our new friend Patrick and want to know when he is coming to NY to visit us and we can show him around! Usually we are all ready to head home after a vacation, but with our experience with Patrick we didn’t want to come home or leave Ireland! Well Done Patrick & thank you for making our trip to Ireland a trip of a lifetime!

Verified Perfect vacation…
I highly recommend Patrick and Ireland West Chauffeurs!!! From my first conversation with Patrick, I knew he was the perfect person for the job as he was committed to making our vacation the best it could possibly be. He took the time to learn about my family, our interests, our hopes for this vacation, and our plans. He somehow helped all six of us exceed our hopes and expectations for this vacation. I told him about my family, our interests and hobbies. Some of us like hiking, he found us amazing hikes. I told him some of us like sports he brought us to a fun Gaelic football game. I told him some of us have interest in castles, we saw plenty of those! I mentioned my sons love golf, and he got them a tee time! Patrick left no stone unturned! His knowledge of the land, humor, and great conversation made long drives seem short! I can’t recommend Patrick and Ireland West Chauffeurs enough!!

Verified Luxury travel with a gentleman chauffeur
We renewed our vows in Paris for our 50th wedding anniversary at the end of April and were on an 18 day trip through France, Scotland and finally Ireland. Patrick was our chauffeur for our duration in Ireland and what a lifesaver. You need someone experienced in the ways of Ireland not to mention someone with local historical knowledge and a wonderful personality and sense of humor. Patrick is all of those and more. He takes care of your every need and is a great conversationalist. If you want the "touristy" attractions, he will get you there. If you want some of the off the beaten path activities, he will gladly take you there as well and point out everything along the way. Eat at fancy places or take his suggestions and get true Irish food in a smaller quaint and interesting pub. We did and the food was better than the fancy stuff you can get in the big city. I have a hearing issue and forgot to bring extra batteries and of course mine ran out. While we were on a tour, he went and found some for me. My wife has bad back issues, and Patrick was able to arrange for wheel chairs and closer entry to attractions so she didn't have to walk as far. Amazing care and concern for the client. He is a true gentleman in every sense of the word. We are in the process of planning our trip to Ireland next year and will work the dates so that Patrick is available again. We met the loveliest people in Ireland and are looking forward to meeting more.

Verified The ONLY way to see Ireland!
Patrick truly “made” our trip! Without him, we would have been focused on stressful driving (on the wrong side of the road) and missed the beautiful Irish scenery. Without Patrick, we would not have had the opportunity to hear all about the history of Ireland in real time as we drove through the country for 4 days. Without Patrick, we would have missed so many interesting locations off the beaten path. Patrick made the trip extremely relaxed and efficient. His guidance and suggestions were always excellent and in complete alignment with our pace and interests. Having Patrick as a driver is such a wonderful alternative to being shuffled around the country in a big, crowded bus. In addition to the convenience and knowledge, Patrick brings a contagious enthusiasm for Ireland that is second only to his charm and chivalrous nature. He is never late; always early and flexible around our wants and needs. Patrick was recommended to us by friends and now we can continue the recommendation by offering this ringing endorsement of Patrick Larkin who we now proudly call our friend.

Verified A man for all seasons!
Patrick is one of a kind. His knowledge of history, coupled with his enthusiasm and superior service is exceptional. One of the neatest characteristics of Patrick is his empathy and ability to anticipate client needs. By the end of our trip with Patrick, we felt as if he were family and we were on a holiday together. We could not recommend Patrick more highly. When you contract with Patrick, it is "one stop shopping" for he knows everyone, knows what is of interest, and makes the trip seamless.
