Kathy Harrigan
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.

Client Testimonial
"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."
