Chauffeurdriven tours with Dave Hogan and Dovechauffeurdrive

 Now is the time to get started on finalising your plans for an Irish adventure. This coming season looks like being a bumper season as Ireland is now looking like one of the safest places to visit. It is also one of the most beautiful countries on earth, and is there anybody anywhere more friendly than the Irish.
Our weather here at the moment is really nice, but as always, unpredictable. Ireland is not a destination for sun worshipers, but it has everything else. Beautiful places like the Cliffs of Moher (pictured above).

Ancient roads through the mountains like the Gap of Dunloe in Kerry.

Majestic castles like Ross Castle on the shores of Lough Laune in Killarney.

Seafood restaurants like Moran's of the Weir on the outskirts of Galway city. Our fish and seafood are second to none, and all of our meat is free range, and to die for.
 Why not make it easy for yourself and let me show you my lovely country. Driving and trying to enjoy the view at the same time is maybe a little dangerous.  Driving on what you would call the wrong side of the road is also tricky. Why risk it.
It costs nothing to make an enquiry, and  you just might be surprised at how well it works out.

Car and driver guide in Ireland. Executive chauffeurdriven tours with Dave Hogan

Welcome to my Blog. I have a few more nice pics for you, and a little more information. First of all, that old chestnut, Irish weather. Let me tell you that our weather here at the moment is really lovely, mild and sunny, with occasional showers to keep all of those negative people who say that it always rains in Ireland  happy. We have had one of the mildest winters ever this past winter. Anybody planning to visit this St Patrick's day, could be in for a treat.
When is the best time to come to Ireland?  I do not encourage people to come during the months of November,December, or January, and February, but outside of that, you can have nice weather at any time. I have also toured in thise months that i do not recommend and have had lovely weather. That is Irish weather, unpredictable, but rarely extreme. This is not a country to come to for a sun tan, but i love Irish weather, never too hot and never too cold. Yes we do get rain, but i like Ireland to remain green, and beautifully adorned with a magnificent array of flowers and shrubs, most of them wild. 
The picture above?This is a Currach, the traditional west of Ireland fishing boat, which was used by the local fisherman for centuries, and is still used by many of them. It is an extremely light boat, which rides the waves, and is much safer than the ordinary rowing or sailing boats. Note the three rows of seats, you can have from one to three oarsmen in this boat. The prow of the boat is tilted upwards, which enables the boat to rise up and over the waves. The Atlantic seas are extremely stormy at times and many fishermen have lost their lives trying to feed their families. Despite the fact that these boats are much safer than the ordinary boat they take skillful handling.

 A little bit of nostalgia thrown in here for you, this is the dance hall where my Dad met my Mom, about fifteen miles outside Galway city. I think that things have changed a little since then.

 The Dingle peninsula. on a wild Winter's day with the Blasket islands in the distance.

This picture helps my business no end. This is the road over the Conor Pass on the Dingle peninsula. The fact that it is a two way road might give you a better idea of what you face, and maybe encourage you to drop me a line. 

I would love to hear from anybody who is planning to come our way. It costs nothing to enquire. It just might be the answer to your prayers. 
I look forward to hearing from you.

Executive Chauffeurdriven vacations in Ireland west and south west.

Many people believe that chauffeurdrive services are limited to cars carrying smaller numbers of people. We can cater for larger groups also, and here i am posting photos of the  variety of transport available to you. All of our vehicles are fully tested regularly, and approved by our transport authority. Our drivers are also likewise tested and approved. It is important to know these things as you should be sure that you are properly cared for in every way. Stay safe.
The top picture is of a sixteen seater Mercedes bus.

 Here we have my lovely Lexus hybrid car.

My Ford Tourneo carries 8 people in all leather comfort.

I am making an appeal to a lady by the name of Mary Kierzek from Minnesota, who contacted me through my Blogger contact form, but who must have, somehow or other, sent a faulty e-mail address, as i have replied many times, but it keeps being rejected. 
She was planning a tour for herself and six friends for sometime later in the Fall, and i would love to be able to make myself for her and her friends.  Can you help? If so, please write to me on my e-mail address

St Patrick's day in Ireland with Dovechauffeurdrive and Dave Hogan

 Spring has arrived, but the weather does not seem to know that yet. I myself live in a quiet rural area outside Galway City, and all of my close neighbours are farmers. This Momma sheep is resident in the field next to my house, and she was making it very clear to me, when i was taking this photo, that i was to remain on my own side of the wall. Her three tiny lambs were sheltering from a cold breeze. I love where i live, and feel fortunate to be surrounded by nature. I am close to the shores of Galway Bay, and the Burren of County Clare, and the famous Cliffs of Moher. I am blessed.

 I pictured this farmer, strolling on a country road, with his two Irish red setters. What a lovely picture. There are people who still live that simple peaceful life. Have we lost all of that?

This island can be clearly seen from Slea Head at the tip of the Dingle peninsula, and is known as "The Sleeping Giant". Easy to see why.

St Patrick's day is nearly upon us, and that signals the begining of another tourist season. We will have our influx of visitors, from the USA mainly, who love to be here on our special day. Most of them will have Irish ancestry, and love to flaunt it openly here where everybody celebrates happily with them.
My touring season looks like being a very busy one, so if you want to make an enquiry, then now is the time to do it. I would love to hear from you. If you want to send me a phone number, then i can call you, and maybe help you with your plans.
