This is a response to Sue A.: The client contacted us 2 weeks before departure. We explained to the client that there were not enough vehicles available for private excursions, and that two passengers from her ship would be joining them. We did give her and her family the option of cancelling these excursions, if they did not want the two other people with them, but they chose not to cancel. We refunded her the difference between private and group shore excursions as well. Ms. M. and her family did book very close to departu... read more

Have been to 2 Meetups at Ellen McNulty's Lynott Travel in Mineola,NY. Was planning on consulting on long-trip w/friend outside US. She seemed knowledgeable. Yikes! I will NOT be using Lynott! Sorry to read the terrible reviews, yes, some good ones, but I can'to take the chance on expensive trip going so wrong. Will look for more reliable agency!

What a NIGHTMARE COMPANY! I booked 4 private tours from Ellen McNulty at Lynott Tours that got charged and confirmed 5 days before we sent sail to Ireland. Then she sent me an email saying that she added 2 additional people(no idea who they were) to our private tour of 2 adults and 2 13 year old kids) I told her I didn't want to add anyone as we booked a private tour. But since I already canceled my other arrangements I had no other option but to keep our unprivate private tour! The 2 "travel companions" she added to our pri... read more

Please do not use this company you will have a frustrating holiday and all you have been promised will NOT happen. You will possibly have to pay twice for many items on your itinerary . The hotels will be disappointing, and not as promised. Many of the accommodations are miles from anywhere therefore Lynott saves money and you do not get what you pay for. You will not get any satisfaction if you complain! Any positive reviews are suspect 

Would leave as anon C.

Would rather not travel than use Lynott Tours. In reading other reviews, it was like we were all treated the same. Promised something wonderful until we paid. After we paid, you were on your own. Our trip to England proved disastrous. We told told 3 and 4 star hotels, knowledgeable driver/guide and all hotel, entrance fees and porters pre paid. This was not what we experienced. Our seasoned driver/guide told us he could not talk and drive at the same time. In addition, he told us that he told Ellen McNulty that he did not kn... read more

Use these people, you'll lose!! – Watch it, I was given a price for a tour package and send in my downpayment money to guarantee the price well before their 30 day window. Later they upped the price on me. For some reason she didn't get it!!? They also do not answer e-mails or faxes. Some times they do not even know how much you have paid towards the total. THey also took money out of my checking account without notifying me on how much they were taking or for what part of the package. My contact person in MI did not have he... read more

Try to avoid this company and get everything in writing – Be very careful when you deal with this company. We were told that if a handicapped member of our family could not be accomodated on the tour, that we would get our deposit money back. This was all verbal, and we did not get our deposit money fully refunded. Next, we have received a series of e-mails that seem to make it our problem that the company cannot get enough people to go on the tour. The implication of these e-mails was that if we did not get two more people ... read more

Be very very scared of lynott tours - - – I am not sure what is going on at Lynott Tours, but every encounter i have had with them has been outrageous. the owner got on the phone with me and was completely unprofessional and pushey. I only booked with them because someone from my office recomended them, they have traveled with them 10 years earlier and that should have set off bells. When we arrived, there was no car rental waiting for us, then we went to the htoel and there was no reservation under our name. We had paid in ... read more

Get things in writing – When I talked with an agent by telephone I was given a price but then I received an email with a different amount charged. This happened twice. Moral: get things in writing.
