点评:We highly recommend Royal Historical Tours for anyone who wants to learn about and be guided to their family roots or just interested in exploring a new county in Ireland.
Ian Darragh and their team do thorough research in advance. And Aisling is an excellent organizer and experienced businessperson.
Ian is a great, personal tour guide. While he is an excellent storyteller, he also has deep historical and cultural knowledge of the areas we visited. He conducted a reconnaissance of our family townlands in advance of our trip, to verify the actual sites of our family. That included maps and records, but also approaching local people for specific references and recommendations. And, indeed, we were taken to the cottage from which our family emigrated to the US during the Famine.
At a personal level, Ian is very attentive to his guests, and thoughtful about their comfort and the pacing of daily activities. In a very wet and rainy day my wife twisted her ankle on a covered headstone. Ian took care of her limitations thereafter.
Thanks to Royal Historical our long-planned trip to Ireland was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. At the end, we received a wonderful bound, hard cover book from Aisling of my family’s references back two hundred years coupled with relevant Irish history. We are forever appreciative.
翻译:我们强烈推荐皇家历史之旅,适合任何想要了解和被引导到他们家族根源或只是对探索爱尔兰新县感兴趣的人。
伊恩·达拉格 (Ian Darragh) 及其团队会提前进行彻底的研究。艾斯林 (Aisling) 是一位出色的组织者和经验丰富的商人。
伊恩是一位出色的私人导游。他不仅是一位出色的讲故事者,而且对我们访问的地区也有深厚的历史和文化知识。在我们旅行之前,他对我们家族的城镇进行了侦察,以核实我们家族的实际地点。这包括地图和记录,还联系当地人寻求具体的参考和建议。事实上,我们被带到了我们家人在饥荒期间移民到美国的小屋。
在个人层面上,伊恩非常关心他的客人,并考虑到他们的舒适度和日常活动的节奏。在一个非常潮湿的雨天,我的妻子在一块有盖的墓碑上扭伤了脚踝。伊恩后来照顾了她的局限性。
感谢皇家历史,我们计划已久的爱尔兰之行真是一次千载难逢的经历。最后,我们收到了 Aisling 送的一本精美的精装书,里面有我家两百年前的参考资料以及相关的爱尔兰历史。我们永远心存感激。
