Tailor-Made Tours is an Irish company offering self-guided walking tours in Ireland, as well as bespoke guided tours. Their walking tours cover the Irish national routes (Beara, Burren, Connemara, Dingle, Donegal, Kerry, Sheep’s Head and Wicklow) and their driving tours can cover just about anywhere in Ireland that you wish to visit. What sets Tailor-Made Tours apart from their competitors is summed up perfectly by their name — this company is who you want for a truly customized walking holiday in Ireland.
Review of Tailor-Made Tours
Tailor-Made Tours announced new ownership in 2023 and we’re happy to say the new owner is someone we know and trust and we will continue working closely with Tailor-Made Tours as they expand their collection of tours. You’ll find itineraries for every national route on their site, each offering daily walking distances and ascents and basic descriptions of the walk and type of accommodation. They include a few photos and guest reviews as well, which is always helpful.

Tailor-Made Tours is our first choice for self-guided walking holidays in Ireland because we helped create their route notes and tour packages and have personally walked their Donegal Way. We know and trust this company. Ireland Walk Hike Bike is also a great choice, we hiked their Dingle Way tour in 2016.
