As a company we pride ourselves on being approachable, professional and we try to get involved in the local communities as much as possible.

We feel it essential to let the customers vouch for our service, attention to detail and the fantastic staff which we have working along side us, some for long before all the family was even born! We feel that the loyalty, of all our staff, to the company and all the O’ Callaghan family over the years, and the testimonials that follow which we received to our office speak for themselves:


TESTIMONIES AND OUR DRIVERS


"Dear Philip,

I’m writing on behalf of the Buckley Party and myself.
I have just returned from Ireland and want to try to express to you how grateful we were to be treated so wonderfully by all at O’Callaghan’s and especially by Denis McCarthy, our driver. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you what a terrific person he is. As this was my first trip to Ireland, I did not know what to expect. I really thought 2 weeks in a bus would be a bit much, but how wrong I was. It wasn’t long enough! Your bus was exceptionally comfortable and immaculately clean. It suited our party perfectly. And what can I say about our driver? His knowledge of Ireland I’m sure could not have been surpassed by anyone. He made our trip, vacation of a lifetime. His personality, great sense of humour and just being a true Irish gentleman made him so special. As I said, I’m sure you know all this already but I truly felt I had to write to you. Again, let me thank you, and believe me when anyone I know goes to Ireland I will highly recommend J’ Callaghan’s & Sons and of course Denis. I sure hope to be back there again some day and I don’t have to tell you I will want Denis as my driver.

Yours sincerely, Virginia Stanton”


“Dear Catriona,

I just wanted to let ye all know just how much our family really enjoyed their trip to Ireland. They especially enjoyed their driver, Jamie McGarr as he was a walking encyclopaedia of information and he also looked after them very well. Thank you for offering such fine drivers to us

Yours, Mary Maroney”


“Dear Eamon,

I wanted to thank you again for all that you did for us last week. Your efforts were appreciated by all of us and we especially appreciated your good cheer. You are truly a fine fella, as well as a fine driver! Please don’t hesitate to look me up if you ever get over to the U.S. I look forward to that nice big bus on our return visit to Ireland.

Take care. Monty Levy”


“Dear Philip,

I wish to thank you for the additional enjoyment our family experienced on our trip to Ireland during July. Mr. Kevin O’ Sullivan added to our pleasure by his outstanding driving, attention to details, willingness to change starting times and unscheduled evening plans and his personal knowledge of the areas. Mr. O’ Sullivan’s sense of humour blended so well with the Hanlon clan that by the weeks end, we felt quiet at home with him and Ireland! The best thing I can say about the trip and your company’s service is, “ I want to return”. Thank you for such wonderful memories. When we do return, we would request Mr. O’ Sullivan as our driver.

Sincerely, Clare Hanlon”


“Dear Seamus,

You have made this trip most enjoyable, without your wisdom, directions and genuine willingness to assist us with all of our requests, we would never have made it. We feel the difference between your company and others we have used, is the flexibility you offered us without question. No task was a problem no matter how much we annoyed you and I’m sure we did, but it never once showed. And it was an added bonus to have one of the O’ Callaghan family personally driving us! Keep up the good work and are counting down the days to our return.

Ken Barklet”


“Dear Philip,

Please let your driver Karen O’ Donoghue, our chauffeur, know how much we appreciated her kindness and expertise throughout our trip to the Emerald Isle. I was greatly surprised and eternally grateful with the job she did helping us and fitting into the group, she went far beyond the call of duty and made us all feel very much as home and at ease in her company. We never expected our driver and bus to play such a huge part in our trip and it turned out to be the most enjoyable aspect without doubt. We truly feel we experienced the real Ireland.

Sincere regards, George”


"Dear Catriona,

We had the pleasure of Mr. Mike Moynihan as our driver during our visit to Ireland. Please take the time to convey our sincere thanks and appreciation to him for all his hard work and friendship during our stay. Michael truly lived up to the Irish nations reputation as being “ Ireland of the welcomes”. We truly feel that Michael was the reason we all enjoyed our trip so much. To be in the company of such a through Irish gentleman was a real pleasure.

“Dear Philip,

I just felt it necessary to take the time to write to you with regard to one of your drivers, Mr. Charlie ‘ Connor. His humour, kindness and knowledge of the country was unmatchable, he truly made our trip to Ireland unforgettable but I’m sure you know that already.

Kind regards, John McManus and party”


“Dear Catriona,

Please pass on our thanks to your driver, Mr. John Daly for all he did for us on our trip to Ireland. He was well versed on the entire country and his golfing tips were second to none. We also appreciate all the help we received from him at each golf course in relation to tee times and the organisation of our group. We all know he didn’t need to go as far as he did, without his expertise with all the golf clubs, hotels and restaurants, we are sure we would probable be still their now. I don’t honestly think we could have had anyone better. He’s a credit to the J O’ Callaghan’s and Sons.

Yours sincerely, The Burroughs Golf Group”


“Dear Philip,

On our recent trip to Ireland we used your passenger transport service with Gerald O’ Sullivan as our driver/guide. We were exceptionally pleased with the quality and cleanliness of your vehicles. Most especially we were pleased by Mr. O’ Sullivan’s knowledgeable and informative tour presentation. He was very helpful and made it a most memorable time for all of us. We will certainly use your service again if we are fortunate enough to return to Ireland.

Kindest regards, Lonnie, Susie and Patrick McCormick”


“ Dear Catriona,

Our trip to Ireland is now completed and we have returned home unfortunately but I just want to specifically thank your driver, Mr. John Fleming, he was very competent but what’s more, patient, friendly and flexible. Why I wanted to bring this to your attention is because I have been to Ireland with groups several times and have also experienced service that does not work and drivers with whom tours have not been able to relax with. If Mr. Fleming as anything to go by, I can assure you, your company does not have that problem.

Best wishes, Mours Raapeene”


COMPANY TESTIMONIES


“To all the staff at O’ Callaghan’s,

I wanted to send a special thank you for all the courtesies extended to us during our Ireland FAM trip. It was very nice to put a name to a face and experience first-hand your drivers, coaches and other staff members. We found your service to be excellent and hope to continue our business relationship with you all.

Thanks to you all again, Cheryl Corrigan Hrapowicki”


“To all the O’ Callaghan Family,

On behalf of the Friends of the Children of Chernobyl, I wish to thank you most sincerely for all you have done for us over the past year. Without your help it would not be possible for us to bring the children to Killarney for the month of July each year. Each child went home much healthier than when they arrived. They had a new pair of winter shoes each and 3,000 multivitamins for themselves and their families along with the presents they received during their visit. We have received word from Belarus that the children have all arrived home safely and a lot of the host families have received thank you letters form the parents of the children. Again, our sincere thanks and we look forward to your continued support.

Yours sincerely, Betty Crosbie”


“Dear Sir or Madam:

I wish to acknowledge your kindness towards the Kosovo Refugees who arrived in Killarney on May 10th. Your contribution was very much appreciated and has helped to enhance the quality of life for them during their stay in Killarney.

Yours sincerely, Helen Brosnan, Assistant Centre Manager”
