Seeking info on where to find listings for private drivers (not chauffeurs - looking for something less $$ and more casual in approach)
My brother is taking my mother (76 and in decent health but now walks kinda slow) to Ireland, and will only be there for about 5 or 6 days.
No group tours and my brother does NOT want to drive, he wants to relax and look at the sites with mom.
Seeking personal driver (someone that would seem like family, not a "driver") that will take them where THEY want to go and WHEN they want to go.
They arrive in Dublin.
She wants to do some travel by train, she LOVES trains and would like to take the train to Cork/Killarney area.
Her must list for south and west of Dublin is:
Blarney Stone,
Muckross House (in the horse/buggy),
dig a peat bog log.
She'd like to be able to see:
Rock Of Cashel,
evening in Kenmare (or maybe an equally quaint/picturesque village),
Powerscourt waterfall,
maybe the tour of military road depending on how much time it takes from other things, and maybe Monasterevin monastery.
I am thinking 2 days and one night in the area... so not sure where to base from and get a driver from...
she wants to do the Blarney stone in the early morning to avoid the lines.
they will then head to N. Ireland to see Giants Causeway, rope bridge, Bushmill Distillery and possibly a drive around Belfast.
Will also do a day or two in Dublin.
