Rooted in Ireland. Designed around you.
Founded by Condé Nast Top Travel Specialist Meg MacMahon, combining years of bespoke travel design experience with first-hand knowledge of Ireland.
Our Ireland, your way.
There’s no one right way to travel Ireland. You might want the freedom of the open road, the ease and insight of a private driver-guide, or a little of both.
We design each journey around how you want to experience the country, choosing the right pace, places to stay and experiences along the way, rather than fitting you into a pre-set route.

At Irish Routes, we believe the best journeys aren’t measured by how many places you visit. They’re remembered for the people you meet, the stories you share, the landscapes that stop you in your tracks and the moments you never expected.
What sets us apart
Curated
Every recommendation has earned its place. Chosen because it suits you, the journey and the way you want to experience Ireland.
Connected
The best experiences often begin with the right host or guide. We work with people who know their corner of Ireland intimately, and know how to bring it to life.
Seamless
From routing and reservations to support while you travel, the details are handled so you can simply enjoy the journey.
Not everything belongs in your itinerary
Ireland is full of places worth seeing. The hard part is knowing which ones are worth your time.
Sometimes that means lingering longer instead of adding another stop. Choosing a boutique guest house over a large hotel because the experience suits you better.
Skipping a famous “must-see” site in favour of an encounter you’ll remember for years.That is where thoughtful travel design matters.
We consider the pace, the route, the places you stay and the experiences along the way as part of one journey, so that every recommendation has earned its place.
