Having your own Driver Guide means you can sit back and enjoy the journey, really immersing yourself in the scenery and experience of the locality without any of the stress of driving. Vacation and staycation clients all rave about the experience, especially when it has been their first time on a private guided tour.<\/p>\n<p>One of the common misconceptions about travelling with a private Driver Guide is that they make all the decisions and you are relegated to the, well, backseat! This is not the case at all. Yes, they take the wheel in terms of any stress, driving duties and matters that require organisation. But the rest is all in your hands \u2013 you can decide when to start, when to stop and if you change your mind about something that has been agreed, that\u2019s par for the course (even if you are not a golfer!). In fact, that\u2019s what our Driver Guides expect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen clients travel with us, they have the opportunity to design their trip with one of our Travel Advisors, tailoring every day to their wishes and interests,\u201d says Shane Leahy, co-founder of Ireland Chauffeur Travel. \u201cWe make sure every box is ticked and we love that! But often, when we check in on a client during their trip, their Driver Guide will have amended their plans according to their wishes that morning,\u201d he laughs. \u201cThey might have decided to enjoy a sleep-in in their four-poster castle bed. Or maybe the sun was shining and everyone wanted to spend an extra bit of time on a beach. We expect that and that\u2019s the extra benefit of having a pro at the wheel \u2013 they\u2019ll even arrange that last-minute picnic for all the family!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In recent media coverage, travelling with Ireland Chauffeur Travel was described as travelling in a &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.ie\/life\/travel\/ireland\/my-staycation-with-a-chauffeur-could-covid-19-see-driver-guided-tours-take-off-in-ireland-39373254.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">secure bubble of luxury<\/a>&#8220;.
