Thérèse picked us up from the train station and we started a tour of the Downpatrick area. She is very knowledgeable and shared that knowledge with us. She allowed us time to sit and ponder while playing spirit-filled music during our reflection. Our day was beyond our expectations. And, we discovered connections to Wisconsin, including the Green Bay Packers. It is a small world! Thank you Thérèse for a wonderful day.

Therese took us not just on a tour but on a journey. We discovered Ireland from the point of view and time of St. Patrick and the numerous Saints. She connected us to the people of Ireland, staying at B&B's, visiting pubs, and of course the many monastic sites. We would highly recommend her, not just as a tour guide but as a spiritual guide to the life and history of Ireland.

We just got back from a 9 day boutique tour with Irish Monastic Tours. Our group consisted of two young-at-heart couples and arranged accommodations and in-country travel by car with the company. Dr. Therese Cullen was tremendous in her work to make our trip comfortable, easy, educational, safe and fun as our personal guide.
Dr. Cullen provided trip planning that included adjustments for our desire to hike and walk in the dramatic Irish landscape. She also accommodated our groups diverse interests in performing Irish pub music, shopping for yarn and sweaters, flying kites on beaches and going to coffee shops and quilt stores.
We visited 22 different historic sites that spanned a timeline that ran from pre-Christian forts to the 1916 Rising. At each of the sites Dr. Cullen shared not only her deep knowledge but also her intense passion for the story. She excelled sharing her research of early monastic culture which we absorbed modeling her awe and reverence.
In spite of our itinerary, Dr. Cullen was flexible to adjust to the weather and our quirky personalities. She took pride in daily throwing in delightful surprises which we loved. While being professional and respectful, Dr. Cullen was not afraid or ashamed to share her personal faith and family history that made our trip rich. Through it all we came to appreciate her good-hearted teasing and quick Irish humor.
It is thus without any reservation that we would recommend Irish Monastic Tours and look forward to our next trip with Dr. Cullen.

Therese was so enthusiastic about the monastic sites, castles and little towns that we visited. She's very knowledgeable and had great itineraries for the days we spent with her. When planning our trip, she was efficient, communicating quickly with me. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. Her tours were everything and more than we expected. We will be back!

We hired Dr. Therese Cullen to be our private guide for a day, since I managed to wrench my knee and couldn't do the steps on the tour buses very well. It was the highlight of our trip! My parameters were that I was interested in early- and pre-Christian sites and herb gardens. She suggested taking us to The Grey Abbey, which has a recreated monastic herb garden as well as fantastic history and ruins, and Nendrum early monastic site, both on the Ards Peninsula. And she drove us along both coasts of the peninsula (we paid for the car hire & petrol, included in her fee for the day). We thoroughly enjoyed our time together with her, discussing not only the pre-Christian and Christian life and history of Ireland and the UK, but she explained the history of "The Troubles", the current political scene in Northern Ireland, and any other topic we expressed an interest in. She took us to a fabulous local restaurant for tea & scones at "elevensies", and stop at Stewart House for lunch later in case we wanted to see their gardens. She was delightful company for the day and very knowledgeable. We would arrange a tour with her again in a heartbeat.

We saw all these places Sunday 18th August. Some of the Classical Association of Ireland saw some of them 4 years ago, but well worth seeing again. Dr. There Cullen is an enthusiastic and energetic guide. She did her PhD on Saint Patrick so there is nothing she doesn't know about him. She spent some of the childhood in the shadow of Saint Brendan the Navigator at Clonfert Co.Galway which is only a few miles down river from Clonmacnoise founded by Saint Kieran. We were a group of about 20, hosted again for Summer School by the Classical Association of Northern Ireland (CANI). We had the best soup and sandwiches and fancy biscuits ever, in Paddy's barn down the road from the church which was the site of the barn given by the ruler of the area way back in A.D.432. In Saint Patrick's Church she played the beautiful hymn "The Breastplate of Saint Patrick", also known as "The Deer's Cry" and "The Lorica of Saint Patrick". It was hard to pick a favourite site as each of them had something special. Outside Down Cathedral there was an archaeological dig taking place by Queen's University. The archaeologist in charge kindly brought us trays of the finds and we handled a bronze pin and pottery. That was a bonus to handle them. It is not often people get to handle medieval or earlier artefacts.

I was so pleased that Dr. Cullin was willing to provide a small private tour of the Monastic Islands on Lough Erne for our group of three. We enjoyed the information that Therese tailored to our level of interest and spending time with her was enjoyable. We had the added bonus of Barry our boatman who shared the local history and island life. Perfect day! Thank you Therese!

Dr. Cullin crafted an amazing trip based on my specific needs. My goal to see much of how Christianity grew over the centuries and how the monastic influence directed Christianity in the past can be used contextually today was exactly what I was hoping for.
I highly encourage all religious seekers, the curious, academics and just plain sight seeing enthusiasts to contact her for a tailor-made trip. My congregation and the USA will be using her services again.

Many thanks for the kind review, Mike. It was a pleasure to take you around and show you some of Ireland's great monastic centres. Looking forward to working with you and your congregation in the near future.

Ok, so first the bad... I had booked a July tour in November. When I saw it was a tour led by a PhD focusing on St. Patrick, I jumped at it! I actually planned my entire 3 week vacation in Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland around it. The day before I left for Ireland (about 2 weeks before the scheduled tour) the operator called. While she was not upfront at the start, claiming that she had merely forgotten and double booked, it became obvious that she had accepted a booking for multiple days that covered the day of our tour. She had asked if we could push it a day back, but we were leaving Belfast that day. She said she would try to procure another guide for us. If I wasn't so interested in the tour, I would have cancelled then and there. But I agreed. We only found out a few days before that we would have a guide, albeit for a shorter time than originally scheduled. And it would not be a PhD as advertised. Now, as for the replacement guide... I had thought based on the principle of breaking a contract with me (I had paid in full shortly after booking it 8 months prior) there was no way in HE double hockey sticks I would give the tour company a rating higher than 1. Duane, the tour guide, was, however, so exceptional, I have decided to give it a 3. He himself is a 5+, but the experience of dealing with Theresa left such a bad taste in my mouth that is as high as I can go. I was sorely disappointed that even though we did not get an advertised PhD, and the time was shorter than advertised, there was no offer of a reduction in the 150 pound payment I had submitted. However, in spite of that, we did tip Duane, because it was not his fault, and he did everything imaginable to cater to us.

I'm very sorry you were disappointed with what you feel was a poor service. I am however glad that Duane did an excellent job and that we were able to arrange that for you. If you every come back to Ireland we'd be more than happy to offer you a free return to make up for what you feel was a bad experience.

Thérèse Cullen knows Ireland. From history to religion, from folk tales to folk musicians, she simply knows all things Irish. If it's just you or if you have a large group, she can tailor your tour and make sure everyone enjoys themselves. We had up to 30 people on some of our excursions during our 5-week study abroad trip to Dublin, Corrymella, and Belfast and Thérèse had every single one of us laughing, learning, and even singing! My students and I were sad to leave Ireland but even more sad to say goodbye to this amazingly talented, delightful, and utterly brilliant person. Irish Monastic Tours is by far the best touring company I've worked with and I highly recommend both the company and Thérèse to everyone I meet who is headed to the Emerald Isles.
