For the past thirteen years she has directed IRELAND BEHIND THE SCENES, dedicated to upscale travel in Ireland exclusively. Having lived in Ireland, she brings a unique perspective to her clientele and has been referred to as a true Ambassador! She creates exceptional annual private tours and also designs custom travel to meet the individual requirements of her guests. From exclusive golfing holidays that include championship golf courses and private country clubs to behind the scenes places unknown to most visitors, she delights in sharing her extensive knowledge of Ireland with discerning travelers.

She personally escorts guests into an elite world of first class luxury. Participants meet distinguished and prominent Irish hosts and visit great private houses, estates, gardens, and castles that are not known to most visitors to Ireland. Attention is paid to every detail and always with the comfort and privacy of her guests in mind.

She assures that participants experience the "real" Ireland combining both elegant and simple interiors of houses that speak volumes about their owners. Houses that are filled with the sophisticated shabby-chic style of their illustrious past and tale telling occupants that enjoy sharing the simple pleasures of a cup of tea and good "craic" around the kitchen table. Guests return home pampered and rested with a fresh vision of this beautiful green island and realize that it is not only the land of the "shamrocks, shillelaghs, and pubs," but a land rich with splendor, charm and warmth of character; unique to Ireland. A country Patsy lovingly refers to as "the land of the crooked candles and lampshades, where pretense and affectation is rare and warmth and welcome prevail."

Chris Allen, Patsy's CO-Host and Ireland's most knowledgable and congenial guide, accompanies each exclusive tour. Chris's keen wit and historical knowledge combined with his amiable, relaxed manner have guests boasting he is the "finest tour Guide we have ever met!" Chris brings the rich history of the land, its people, and the Irish culture alive as no one else can, with history, folklore, stories and tales not to be missed! His warmth, relaxed manner and genuine friendship to all have guests exclaiming, and also many a time, "rolling in the aisles" with captivating humor that simply "comes to me head!" Write it down or bring a recorder, lest you forget a hilarious story, for Chris's enchanting wit and down to earth manner will delight even a tetchy soul. A dear and talented man who brings more than a wee bit of sparkle and shine, not only to our comfortable motor chariot, but into our lives as well!
