Ireland Travel Specialist

My first trip to Ireland was to take my husband to see Bruce Springsteen in Dublin. I fell in love with the country and people. I knew then that I wanted to share this wonderful country with others. 

Since that time I have been back to Ireland many times. I have had the experience of traveling to the Republic and Northern Ireland both as an individual and as a group leader. 

I have earned the title of Ireland Destination Specialist from The Travel Institute and have earned Gold Specialist Certification from Tourism Ireland. 

There are a number of reputable suppliers I work with both in the USA and in Ireland.  I have made some close contacts in Ireland over the years that I would love to share with you.

Thru the years I have designed a variety of custom trips, including:

  •  Garden Tours
  •  Heritage Tours
  •  Sporting Events – Navy vs Notre Dame, UCF vs Penn State
  •  Golf Tours
  •  Honeymoons
  •  Family Tours
  •  Individual Self-Drive Tours

I generally go to Ireland once or twice a year so I can keep on top of hotels and attractions that are offered. 

When designing your dream tour, I listen to what your interests are and include them in your tour.  Even pre-designed coach tours can be individualized; I will help you find the one that best fits you.

My best trip to Ireland was with my daughter’s family.  The grandchildren were 6 and 9 when we took them for their first visit.  From the private hawk walk and getting to hold the bird on our gloves, to climbing rocks on the Burren, to our castle stay... it was a holiday we will all hold dear to our hearts. The kids still say it’s the best vacation ever!

In addition to Ireland, I specialize in travel to:

  • New York City, NY (another place I fell in love with many years ago)
  • Great Britain 
  • New Orleans, LA
  • Gettysburg, PA
  • Honeymoons
  • Carribean & Mexico
  • Disney products
  • River Cruises
  • Group travel

I have experience booking groups to England, Scotland, Germany, Italy, and other European destinations.  I am quite familiar with Disney World, Destination Weddings, and all-inclusive resorts as well.

I would love to help you or your group plan your perfect holiday and be your travel advocate.

Sláinte!

Client Testimonial

Rainbow on Dingle Peninsula

"Kathy Harrigan of Harrigan Holidays saved my first vacation to Ireland, which was my first trip abroad.  She went above and beyond the call of duty to fix what another agency messed up.  I was so impressed with her knowledge, insight, and caring that I used her for our second trip also.  

I don't feel that I could get any better service anywhere else.  She took the time to get to know not only me, but my sister's (travel partners) also.  Her suggestions were based on our dream of the perfect tour, not someone else's."

I not only gained a travel agent, she is now a dear friend.
Reviewed By Chrystal - Breaux Bridge, La | Traveled to
She helped me with my first big trip to New York. After she finalized my trip all I had to do was pack jump on a plane and enjoy. Not only do I go to her with all of my travel needs but we now stay in touch and I consider her a dear friend. I couldn't recommend any one else to take care of my travel needs. She does such a wonderful job!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Incredible Fun
Reviewed By Jules - East Berlin, PA | Traveled to
We asked Kathy to plan a surprise family vacation to celebrate our daughter's 30th birthday. She had to arrange six travelers flying from two different states. We wanted to arrive around the same time to our final destination. She arranged all the flights and an all-inclusive resort with three rooms. We had a fabulous time and our daughter didn't know where she was going until we revealed the destination to her.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

25th anniversary trip
Reviewed By Jason P - York, Pa | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
Kathy was knowledgable, warm and friendly and available for any questions we had. Even while we were abroad, she was quick to respond and put our minds at ease with any issues. It was my wife's dream trip to visit Scotland and Ireland and thanks to Kathy, it was a trip we will always remember. I would not hesitate to reach out to Kathy again or recommend her high enough for anyone looking to travel.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
