- TESTIMONIALS
Hi, I’m Vera, a local Irish guide from County Wexford, and I specialise in showing visitors the Ireland most people never find.
No coach stops. No gift shops. Just hidden villages, quiet back roads, unforgettable scenery, local characters and the little moments that make people fall in love with Ireland.
I’m Vera Delaney — an Irish woman from Wexford who has made it her business to show people the real Ireland.
Not the tourist trail. The back roads, the stories, the people, the moments that stay with you forever.
Every tour I run is private, personal and built around you.
This is Ireland. The real thing.
Delaney Tours
No two people are the same. No two trips I run are the same.
Tell me what you’re looking for — a day, a week, your family roots, the wild coastline, the craic, all of the above — and I’ll build something around you.
That’s it. That’s the whole thing.

You won’t find a set itinerary here. Before we go anywhere, I want to know who you are, what lights you up, and what brought you to Ireland. Then I build your trip around that.
Your interests. Your pace. Your Ireland.
You’d be amazed what a single day with the right person can give you. No rushing, no coach parks, no queues. Just you, me, and a corner of this island that’ll stay with you.
One day is enough to fall in love with Ireland.
Two to five days is when Ireland really gets under your skin. Long enough to slow down, go off the beaten track, sit in a pub when the music starts, and actually feel like you’re here rather than passing through.
This is where it starts to feel real.
Five days or more and everything changes. The pace drops. The discoveries get deeper. You stop seeing Ireland and you start feeling it.
This is the version most visitors never get to experience.
There is nothing quite like standing on the land your great-grandmother walked, in the village your grandfather left, hearing stories about people who share your name.
I’ll help you find your piece of Ireland. The real one. The one that belongs to you.
Friends, family, a group of people who love each other — coming to Ireland together. I keep it small, I keep it personal, and I make sure every single person in your group has the time of their lives.
No strangers. No compromise. Just your people and Ireland.
You don’t need to think about a thing. I’ll drive, I’ll guide, I’ll take care of every detail. All you have to do is look out the window and let Ireland do what Ireland does.
It’s always better when you know exactly where you’re going.
The markets the locals actually shop at. The distillery that’s been in the same family for generations. The restaurant where the chef sources everything from the farm next door.
I know where to go. And I know the people behind every door.
Not the tourist version. The real one — the way Irish families actually celebrate it. The parades that matter, the moments that give you chills, the pubs where everyone knows the words.
Come and feel what it’s like to be Irish for a day.
Summer is golden. Autumn is dramatic. Winter is raw and wild and completely magical. Spring — there’s nothing like an Irish spring.
There’s never a wrong time to come. Just tell me when and we’ll make it something special.
I’m Vera Delaney and I have one job — to show you the Ireland that most people never get to see.
Not the Ireland of coach parks and gift shops. The real one. The one that gets under your skin and stays there long after you’ve gone home.
I was born and raised here. I know the farmer who’ll wave you in off the road. I know the pub where the music starts when it starts and nobody’s watching the clock. I know the road that looks like nothing on a map but turns out to be the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen.
Every single trip I run is private. It’s just you and me — or you and your family, or you and your friends — doing Ireland at your pace, in your own time, the way it was meant to be experienced.
No strangers. No rush. No highlights reel.
Just Ireland. The real thing.
