Dear Garry:
Tim and I just wanted to email you to say a big thank you for giving our daughter Holly such a wonderful Ireland experience! She is in love with Ireland but she especially fell for Cork and its citizens. We also want to thank you for arranging some horseback riding for her – she said it was “brilliant” being able to horseback ride and see Blarney Castle in the distance!
Thanks again for everything and we hope our paths cross again!
Sincerely,
Kathleen and Tim McGill

    I have not yet had the opportunity to thank you for organizing the Ireland trip. My daughter had a wonderful time. Laura was very impressed with Mr. Doyle's teaching style and as a result she did very well. It was definitely a worthwhile experience for her. I plan on sending my son Kenneth this summer.
