Lynott Tours (rhymes with why not) was founded as a luxury travel company by Patrick and Betty Lynott. He was Irish and his wife was British. They began operating as an Irish tour operator in 1970, arranging tours for upscale travelers. Now Ireland & travel to Great Britain are synonymous with Lynott Tours. The Company was sold in 1983 to Ellen Mc Nulty, who became President.

We create one-of-a-kind vacations for groups and individuals. We love our destinations and do our best to make sure that our customers feel the same way. We believe that a vacation can only be a success if it is custom-tailored to fit the requirements and preferences of each individual. Our job is to make sure that everyone gets the right balance of comfort and excitement to enjoy the experience of a lifetime. We believe that personal attention to our customers is essential.

Ireland and Britain remain for us the most prominent tour programs. In 1987, the South Pacific was added to the product line, for two reasons: the ancestral links between Ireland and Great Britain with Australia and New Zealand. The Southern Hemisphere also offers the benefit of warm weather travel during the U.S. winter time. Since then, the company has grown to be one of the most trusted names in travel to not only Britain and Ireland, but Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, and the rest of the South Pacific. Customized special interest travel including private "inside" visits to places not normally open to the public and individual personalized tour planning are Lynott's forte.

We are travel agents for Ireland and for Great Britain. Lynott Tours is a New York corporation, headquartered in Mineola, Long Island, 25 miles from New York City. The company coat of arms, a crest with three crowns is the shield for ancient Munster, in southwest Ireland. The company motto, "Deus Mihi Providebit" means God will provide for me.

Lynott Tours counts more than 6,500 travel agencies, numerous museums, historical societies and corporations throughout the world as loyal clients. Among the thousands of satisfied passengers who have traveled with Lynott over the years are such prestigious names as United Life Insurance, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Lehigh Historical Society, Maine Audubon Society, and the Belleek Collectors' Society, among many others.
