Little Gem Tours
Fundamental to Little Gem Tours is our love for our beautiful little island and we are very much aware of our company’s impact on it’s environment. From the beginning we have tried to promote Ireland in a sustainable and responsible manner by staying small, promoting Ireland’s lesser known sights and supporting local enterprise along the journey. Without this ethos we would never have pursued the founding of the company.
Little Gem Tours combine unique itineraries with the best driver guides and a variety of boutique accommodations to craft authentic, private experiences of Ireland.
Little Gem Tours have developed a network of local enterprises which they support and promote throughout the season. While they do not claim to be an entirely eco-friendly tourism experience, they acknowledge that they may not always get things right the first time. Therefore, they are committed to honestly communicating their progress and improvements. They are determined to maximize the benefits their family-run company brings to the island while minimizing the negatives. This commitment is central to their responsible tourism strategy, driving them to continuously innovate and keep Little Gem at the forefront of responsible tourism in Ireland.
