Sean, Aisling and Ian were the best tour and Heritage Company that you ever could hope for. My sister had coordinated with Sean and Aisling over a year ago… read more to look into our ancestors. Sean did a wonderful job, Aisling arranged everything and we had the best tour director ever in Ian.
We started in Dublin where Ian picked us up and drove us first to Waterford where our ancestors eventually come to from Wicklow and then went on to the US. He took us all over and showed us places where they would have lived, gone to church and worked as well as the workhouse that part of our family lived in before coming to America as well as other parts of the area. There is so much history in Ireland and he told us all he knew which was incredible. He drove us to Avoca that evening and dropped us off at the cottage we would being staying for the rest of our trip. He picked us up the next morning and took us all over Avoca and surrounding towns where the family originated. He took us to the churches, burial grounds, ruins and places where they would have lived and did so much work before we even got there that made it that much better. We saw the Miners Cross, The Motte Stone, The Vail of Avoca and so many other sights that we never would have seen without Ian and company. If you want a family that will give you their best and make it one of the most outstanding trips please sign up with My Ireland Family Heritage. The book they made for us was so much more than I could have asked for. We had 2 wonderful days of history, sites, laughter and stories that I’ll never forget. We’ll definitely be back for more in the future.
My sister and I recently took our two daughters to Ireland and utilized My Ireland Family Heritage to access our Irish ancestry and couldn’t have been more pleased. Sean… read more was knowledgeable of our specific ancestry and a delightful guide. Ian, who took over was also charming and took us to all of the places important to our personal family heritage. This obviously included many of the important places of our ancestors including the churches, where the weddings, baptism, and burials were performed and Ian was magnificent in interweaving the times and the political, and religious circumstances surrounding them. I’ve recommended this tour to many friends and coworkers because I was so satisfied.
Sean, Ian and Aisling always seemed to be prepared and were always ready to go above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. We were given access to a personalized tour tracing our Irish heritage with multiple visits to local and not so local sites across Ireland. All delivered with pertinent information, humor and aplomb. The book we were presented with is dynamic. It shows the amount of research performed and the detail is simply amazing. We met a 93 year-old gentleman who is a relative. This was an incredible trip and I absolutely recommend it.
Sincerely,

Sean and Aisling at My Ireland Family Heritage were the perfect local tour professionals to coordinate my Irish ancestry travel plans! Their extensive genealogical review of my Plunkett ancestry records… read more were documented in a beautiful family history book; they then designed a personalized tour itinerary to trace my Irish ancestors’ footsteps, with visits to 12 historical local sites, dating back to the Neolithic age!
The tour started at the Hill of Tara and its ancient burial mounds and monuments, followed by the historic Hill of Ward, overlooking brilliant fields of yellow- and accompanied by a friendly herd of sheep! Next stop was the village of Kells and St. Colmcille/Columba Monastery grounds, once home to an Irish patron saint and the famous Book of Kells. Other historical sites of interest included the local famine Workhouse and paupers’ cemetery, and Trim Castle and village. Sean’s historical expertise and lively narration at each site was so informative and often directly linked to my ancestors- I learned so much about Irish history!
To walk the land where your ancestors lived, farmed, fought battles, raised families, worshipped and died centuries ago is such a meaningful experience. We visited 3 ancestral family locations, including Killeen Castle grounds and church ruins, home of my 17th great-grandparents; Sean managed to arrange entry into the locked church site! Another nearby family estate, Rathmore Castle and church ruins, is now on private land, so we decided to respectfully visit and take photos from the adjacent country road.
The visit to Dunsany Estate and Nature Reserve was definitely the highlight of the tour! It was an honor to meet the current Plunkett family living at the Castle, who graciously shared family stories and artifacts during afternoon tea. Their commitment to honor and preserve the family history and also be good stewards of the estate lands is most evident in the Dunsany Nature Reserve’s rewilding program. A vast majority of the land is returning to it’s natural state, and is no longer used for farming purposes. A tour of the estate’s environmentally diverse grounds provides a unique view of how nature was intended to be.
My tour was a once in a lifetime experience, thanks to the My Ireland Family Heritage staff- highly recommended!
Took the better part of a year plus a covid cancellation to make this trip happen. But certainly one of the best tour experiences I’ve had.
Aisling is the… read more organizing genius, Sean the genealogy researcher, and Ian the boots on the ground. They took the information I had about an ancestor and spun the whole story, then took us to places that figured in it: places of weddings, baptisms, farms, burials. They were even able to locate a distant relative—in his nineties—still living in the townlands.
Both Sean and Ian are superlative storytellers and lovely fellas to spend your day with.
Save up your money for this: you will be enchanted.
My husband and I traveled to Ireland in May 2022, we both felt the highlight of our trip was our day spent with Ian visiting Northern Ireland where my mothers… read more ancestors left in 1847. We were able to visit home sites, land they worked, churches where they married and were buried, talk to church officials and saw 200 year old church records. Prior to our visit I corresponded with Aisling and Sean. Both were professional, prompt and informative. They made sure our visit went smoothly. I was also given a large book with Sean’s research and a beautiful painting of what my relatives cottage might have looked like by Sean’s wife and Aisling’s mother. I would highly recommend My Ireland Family Heritage.
Sean is amazingly well informed about Irish genealogy. I sent him the information I’d been able to find from US sources and he broke through my brick wall to take… read more my family story back in time to my Irish ancestors. He was very passionate about using every source he was able to find about my ancestors. I had so much fun today learning from Sean and I know it will take me a while to assimilate all the new information. The beautifully compiled and bound book he is sending home with me will help me recall what he told me and pass it along to other family members. Hopefully to future generations of family as well.
Aisling was also delightful to work with to set it all up.
Leaving Ireland last April, My Ireland Heritage Tours brought to reality my family history in both documentation and visitation. After initial correspondence with Sean and Aisling, we spent a… read more day discovering Ireland through the eyes of Ian from the research by them and the knowledge of my roots. Ian put into perspective what my family experienced with his thorough and colorful history of Ireland. I’ll never forget, finding the precise location of my grandmother’s birthplace and school.
In addition to leaving with memories, we have documentation of the research going back literally hundreds of years. This research can now be handed down for generations so the history of my grandmother can live on.
My interaction with Sean, Aisling and Ian could not have been more pleasant. All showed sincere and shared concern for my desires to learn more about my heritage
Sean and Aisling were very helpful. We contacted them about a month before our trip and they were able to find 3 of our 5 families for us. The 2… read more he couldn’t find we didn’t have enough information for them.
We did a self guided tour that was easy to follow. We visited 3 properties that the families lived on in the 1840s. One of them, a family member still lived on the property and we were able to see the original home that was built in the early 1800s, pictured below. We hope to be able find more information about the other families that will lead to finding information about them.
Thank you Sean and Aisling.
Contacted My Ireland Heritage Tours back in 2019 when we started planning our trip to Ireland. Finally, we just completed our visit in April 2022 after cancelling several times… read more because of Covid. Sean and Ashling have worked with us with ease during this pandemic. When we would cancel our weeks tour with CIE and had to cancel with My Ireland Heritage Tour it couldn’t have been easier. They said just let us know when you are coming and we’ll continue from there. That in itself was much appreciated. Sean found the property that was owned by my great grandfather Quinn and put together a folder for me with all the information he found along the way. He made a point to personally meet us and even when we returned home he mailed to make sure we made it home safely. I highly recommend My Ireland Heritage Tours for not only a thorough search for your family history but also because of the personal touch they give.

My brother had spend years searching for information about our heritage in Ireland and the names of our grandparents’ family. We contacted My Ireland Heritage Tours and in no… read more time they had all the information that we had been searching for. With this information we were able to contact my dad’s cousin and his family. A cousin that my dad didn’t even know existed. Our Irish family was incredibly welcoming and delightful. It was the highlight of my Ireland trip. My Ireland Heritage Tours also educated us and showed us history during the time when my grandparents left Ireland to migrate to the US. I didn’t realize what was going on at that time and why my grandparents left Ireland. I didn’t know about the history and the suffering that they went through. It allowed me to contemplate on what my ancestors went through, and because of them how well I have it. Also by the time all was said and done, I felt like part of My Ireland Heritage Tours family. Thanks guys!!
