Lori planned an amazing trip for us to Ireland. From the first phone call with Lori, she truly listened to our hopes for the trip, and engaged us in conversation so she could get to know us. As a result she planned the trip of our dreams and every aspect was given expert attention. Our driver, Tom of Spirit of Ireland travel, was wonderful and took us to many unexpected amazing spots. From Belfast to Killarney all of our accommodations were wonderful and Lori suggested some amazing places for us to visit, and wonderful activities. Every detail and aspect of our trip was wonderful and we are so grateful to Lori, Heather and Old Sod Travel.

From planning to the actual trip Old Sid was a pleasure to work with. We had a trip of a lifetime!

It was a trip of a lifetime to Ireland for 6 friends. From the time we landed until we were back at the airport the experience went off without a hitch. The transport, hotels, dining experience and the wonderful Ireland countryside, people and special places were perfect.

Another memorable, shining summer thanks to the excellent people at Old Sod Travel. Who somehow manage to keep it fresh and exciting. This is our 4th experience with this company, we can’t seem to get enough. With even more esoteric requests this year, focusing on hidden corners along the south and west coasts, we thought, “surely we’ve stumped them this time.” Ha! not a chance. As we delve deeper they follow us anticipating wants, preferences, and needs. Checking in every step–with a light hand and a warm heart. Like a good friendship. Special nod to our maven, Tanya — and family!…. Some lovely new acquaintances: Arran our gallant Dublin guide, the excellent folks at Dunbrody (oh those gorgeous meals), the comfy new Mews at Dromquinna, Anne Marie at Kerry Tour Guides: thanks for that glorious morning at Dereen Gardens– a very special place. As ever and with our deep thanks to Merrion for its continued excellence and unparalleled service, it’s like being transported to a much lovelier time. The incomparable Ard na Sidhe for its otherworldly beauty. Thank you wonderful staff, Debbie: very sorry about the fire alarm… grace under pressure or simply, hospitality at its best. Deirdre, may the Goddess grace your home always. Tony, may your gentle spirit charm many more along your way. Thank you all — again, and again. See you soon, we hope.

I worked with Katie Brubaker of Old Sod to put together a trip through Scotland fitted around a bicycle tour I took. She was easy to work with, gave me great advice on travel arrangements from the U S. and within Scotland, places to stay, guides and restaurants. She listened to what I wanted to do and made it happen, creating a great trip for me. I look forward to working with her to plan future trips.

Katie planned an amazing trip for us! We traveled Ireland with experienced guides, saw many different facets of the country, met colorful fun people, stayed in gorgeous hotels and tasted local cuisine! I highly recommend Katie and Old Sod for your next trip!
