Tom/Lois's Trip of a Lifetime
As other folks on the tour said….this was a trip of a lifetime! From beginning to end, the tour was meticulously planned/thought out by our wonderful hosts, Alistair and Kim Hay. We were emersed in the people, music, and culture of Ireland and felt like part of the family.

Trip Of a Lifetime!!!
What an incredible tour! This was my first trip to Ireland and I can’t think of any better way to see it! From the time we all first gathered for the trip I knew we were in for something special! Alistair and Kim couldn’t have been better hosts and instantly made us feel welcome.

Nothing short of spectacular
Including the live music at breakfast, lunch and dinners where ever we went we were treated to the fine musicianship of 24 different local Donegal Emerald guitar playing acts. When I asked one of Emerald’s team members how it was possible to have so much talent locally in County Donegal he said without hesitation, “It’s the Guinness”.

A magical musical experience
We have so many great memories from this tour. Extraordinarily music and expertly curated events filled each day. The owners and staff from Emerald Guitars gave us an Irish welcome we’ll always remember. What an experience.

Expecting a lot and got a lot more
The hosts Alistair and Kim Hay are friendly and approachable. Like they are your next door neighbors. The Emerald factory is the most beautiful place like that that I have ever been. The music that we were treated to mornings, afternoons and evenings was varied and wonderful to listen to. There is something for everyone.

An extraordinary way to see Ireland
From traditional music of the Emerald Isle to modern and many groups with the flavor of both. We think there were some 25 or so individual acts to keep the music flowing. As for an opportunity to see Ireland, the tour included many out of the way spots you would not likely get to visit with another Ireland tour. And live music at every location that really made every place we visited special. As for our hosts, they could not have been better to us and our accommodations were top notch all the way. We would do it all again in a heartbeat

Musical Delight in Donegal
I’m sure there are other musical tours to Ireland, but this tour met all my expectations. I had ordered an Emerald guitar, so of course the factory tour and the exposure to all the various models and comments from other Emerald guitar owners confirmed the value of my purchase. But beyond that, the detail and thoughtfulness put in by Alistair and Kim, the tour coordinators and the support from the staff was exceptional.

Don’t miss this!!!
Stunning September Emerald Tour of Emerald Guitars and Spectacular Donegal. Could not ask for a better tour and program to please string players, non-playing spouses and lovers of music, history and natural beauty all in one. From the bus driver to the musicians, to Alistair and Kim to the Rockhill House in Letterkenny and all the folks at Emerald this was nothing short of a trip of a lifetime.
