We have created a special multi-generation adventure to build on your relationship, secure in the knowledge that our activities will interest the young and the young at heart. You and your family will learn about the best of Ireland and Britain.

Visit the places your grandfather went, the tales he heard, the songs he sang.

Our family travel destinations:

Facts about Ireland for Visiting Families: There’s no doubt about it – the Irish love kids, and Ireland is a wonderfully welcoming place to visit for families with children. Most public places and visitor attractions cater for those children, with changing facilities, children’s menus, high chairs and ramps for strollers. Visit Ireland - a land where a warm welcome is found at every corner, every doorstop and every pub. Ireland Family Holidays specialists.

Irish Melody Escorted Tour
Traditional irish music It is difficult to find a coach tour that will take children, but we take children as young as 5 on this tour, because we have activities for them. Fun adventures include boat trips, bicycling, horseback riding and traditional music. Your children will meet other children on this tour.
Self Drive Ireland
Select from B&B's, working farms with animals to entertain the young folks, even a castle stay. Is a hotel with a pool a "must have"? We know them all. Go wherever you please with our open prepaid voucher program, or we will pre-plan your itinerary for you.

Adare Villa - Ireland Family Holidays Rent a cottage or a castle in Ireland or Britain. When you'd like to be on your own, in a village of 8-10 identical cottages with other vacationers from around the world. Walk to the local store, cook your own meals for that finicky eater, and have your own home away from home for a week or more.


Family Bike Tours of Ireland On our family tours we have designed an itinerary with the younger traveler in mind (the cycling each day is approximately 18 - 25 miles with two rest days included).
 Fortunately, the days when Irish vegetables are cooked for an entire week are long gone. Most people are very impressed at the quality of new Irish cooking.
Alniwick Castle Harry PotterSelf Drive Britain
Relive the history of your father's father's father. Visit all the sites they've only read about - King Arthur's England, the fabled land of knights and maidens, Harry Potter and more. Go wherever you please with our open prepaid voucher program, or we will pre-plan your itinerary for you. Hotels with swimming pools are highlighted for family fun.

Harry Potter trainHarry Potter Tours
Have your children enjoyed Harry's adventures? See where the movies were made. All of the attractions are featured in the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and "Chamber of Secrets" films including the Hogwarts School. We have self drive tours and guided tours but if you have a group of friends or family (6 or more), we can do an individual escorted tour for you. These trips are created to give children, parents and grandparents an opportunity to enjoy each other's company in a far-off and exciting destination. On these tours, enrollment is limited to family groups. Sightseeing and other special activities are designed with the interests and attention spans of all generations in mind.

What our clients say
          Thank you so much for setting up our Reidy family trip to Ireland. We had a wonderful time and were able to see a great deal in a short period of time, thanks to our guide, Martin Hogan. He was wonderful and became part of the family. We were able to find the house my father was born in as well as a cousin we never knew existed in Kilgarvin. We will be back again. Thanks much for everything. The Reidy Family. Dick Reidy

family travel IrelandAnyone who has traveled in the USA with children knows how hard it can be to research the area, plan interesting activities for the kids, and at the same time, relax and enjoy your vacation, too. But when you allow Lynott Tours to plan your family vacation in Ireland and Britain, it can be worry-free.

We arrange everything for your family travel packages, so there is nothing for you to do but enjoy yourself.

 You can generally bring a child into a pub at any age. Here is the actual law: If you are under 14 (18 in Northern Ireland) you cannot normally go into a pub or other licensed premises where alcohol is sold and consumed during opening hours unless you are the landlord’s child or live on the premises. However, a publican can apply for a children’s certificate that will allow children under 14 to be taken into a pub by an adult. Children would normally have to leave by 9pm.
