Happy Christmas - Nollaig Shona

A Christmas message from Stephen Mc

Warm greetings and Christmas wishes from us all at Milltown House, our idyllic Travel HQ on Dingle Harbour.

2019 was a great year for Essential Ireland Tours, we led 10 tours and private groups on life-affirming, educational and value-for money tours whilst having a ton of fun along the way.

We made a lot of new friends doing so - our Tour-Guests quickly become our lifelong friends.

We want to wish them all a Happy Christmas and particularly for those who will be celebrating the holiday season as the birth of Jesus Christ, we appreciate that significance.

Seasons greetings also to all our team of guides and our office team, to our friends and clan at home in Ireland and those abroad, scattered to the four corners of the earth in the Irish Diaspora. Hope Santa finds you all!

We are blessed to live in a now peaceful Ireland, our people North & South living in peace and relative harmony, long may it continue, forever would be our ideal! Christmas time reminds us of how lucky we are.

In 2020 we look forward to welcoming several hundred intrepid travellers on VIP small-group tours of Ireland, North and South. Maybe you’ll be amongst them.

Our President Higgins has delivered another fine Christmas message on the important Irish tradition of welcome and hospitality, tolerance and kindness. Check it out here. Inspiring stuff. https://youtu.be/lbC9j9cLbsUhttps://youtu.be/lbC9j9cLbsU


Nollaig Shona/Happy Christmas

Le meas/with respect,
