Description
You want to plan your own Ireland vacation, but need guidance.
Perfect! There is nothing quite like planning your dream vacation. But I know just how overwhelming planning a vacation to Ireland, be it your first or fifteenth, can be. There is so much to see and do!
This is where Ireland vacation coaching can help.
We work together to plan your trip. Unlike a travel agent selling a package vacation, I don’t receive a commission for booking you into a specific hotel or with a specific car company. I make recommendations based on your group’s likes, interests, goals, and budget.
We can start from scratch, beginning with your family’s interests, working up to attractions to visit and places to stay. Or, if you have a list of “must see” attractions, we can lay out a plan to see as many as possible without making you feel rushed.
Every question you send over the coaching period will be answered; and as I get to know your family, I’ll be able to recommend activities, accommodations or attractions you didn’t know existed.
I’ll coach you in everything from attractions your family will love and transportation options to budgeting and lodging. When you’re happy with the plans we’ve laid out you will receive a detailed itinerary, filled with helpful tips, links, and maps to guide you as you explore Ireland.
What Travelers are Saying:
Dear Jody,
We got back from Ireland yesterday, and through my jet lag, I wanted to write you. I don’t even know if I have the words for what a spectacular vacation it was. We loved it–so much history and natural beauty, and the people could not have been friendlier everywhere we went. I don’t even think I’ve processed it all yet.
I wanted to thank you so sincerely for all of your help planning this amazing trip. I never would have known, on my own, where to go or how long to spend at each stop. You listened to our interests and planned a trip that worked perfectly for us. I loved arriving at each place and having a carefully edited list of possibilities to choose from. It made our trip all the more fun and less stressful. I’m so, so glad I found you online! I would recommend your services strongly to anyone wanting to go to Ireland. (And feel free to quote me!)

How I Coach
Ireland trip coaching begins with a 15-30 minute phone call. I use this time to get to know you and your group, to understand your trip goals, Ireland dreams, and any concerns you may have.
I follow the phone call with a summary email. From this point, travel coaching takes place via email. This way you have everything in writing- including website links, phone numbers and email addresses.
Each coaching session lasts until you leave for your trip. Of course the majority of the work takes place over the first week or two, but I am available to you until your flight lifts off (and even during your trip if need be!) to answer your questions, calm your nerves, or assist with last minute changes.
Cost for a coaching session is $300.
After Purchasing a Coaching Session you will be taken to the order confirmation page. Under Order Details is the link to book your phone consultation. Please do book your consultation as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
The link will also be in your email receipt.
Because I personally handle all travel coaching, I accept a limited number of clients per month. Be sure to book your consultation as soon as possible.
Kind Words About Custom Ireland Vacation Coaching

Best vacation ever!
Dear Jody, I want to tell you how thankful I am to you for your itinerary. This trip was a dream come true. We saw everything we wanted to see and then some. We were never over whelmed. We embraced every moment. Every day was an adventure. Found a beautiful chocolate shop going up to Galway going through the Burren, wonderful meals in Killarney. The hotels were all 5*. All the castles, Gap of Dunloe, the ring of Kerry, torc waterfalls, so so many place. No regrets,and so definitely going back again. Thank you so much, and my husband drove like he was born there, he even drive on roads they call the Virge, with the grass in the middle. Best vacation ever!
Thank you for all you do, you are priceless.

Your help was so important in getting our plans off the ground. We learned quite a bit from you in terms of deciding and focusing on what we wanted to see, in the time we had. You also answered nuts and bolts questions which was terrific assistance for us.
Thanks for your insights and suggestions as we planned our memorable trip.

We knew we must get in touch with her to help plan our first trip to Ireland
Vacations,” we knew we must get in touch with her to help plan our first
trip to Ireland. We based our trip on one of Jody’s itineraries, and had
her customize it for us. We had a zillion questions, and Jody was able to
give us great, practical advice via phone and email. As parents of young
children, we trusted Jody’s recommendations, as she has travelled with
her own children in Ireland for years. We had an amazing trip this
spring, and have already discussed what we want to do next time. Not
only did Jody get in touch a few weeks before our departure to answer
any last minute questions, but she also followed up after our return
home. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jody, and will be in touch
with her the next time we plan to visit a different region of Ireland.
