Visit a working Irish farm and meet the locals...
Ireland is dotted with farms amongst the famous green fields. A visit to Ireland is not complete without a personalised tour of a farm and meeting the local farmers who are guardians of the land. As well as getting a glimpse of rural Ireland and meeting the animals you will also learn of Ireland's ancient past and heritage from the locals who know it best. There are numerous farms that we visit on our tours with Little Gem and they are often the highlight of our guests tour.

Add an Irish Ancestry Trail and uncover your family tree...
A guest favourite with Little Gem is our ancestry trails on our Irish family tours. Get off the beaten path and follow the footsteps of your ancestors. Climb through grave yards and meet local farmers to get closer to your Irish family tree. Our ancestry trails always ass something a little special to a private tour of Ireland and we highly recommend researching a little to find a link such as a gravestone, church, parish or village.

Join Joe Joyce or any of the other excellent sheep farmers across the island for a fascinating demonstration of their working sheepdogs. Watching these impressive animals at work really provides a glimpse of how animals and humans can work side by side. This ancient tradition is a wonderful experience to witness and Ireland is the perfect landscape to take in one of these incredible demonstrations
