At Anam Croí Tours, we believe that travel should be personal, enriching, and filled with unforgettable moments. And that’s exactly what we aim to create for you.
We operate sustainable Ireland tours, supporting local economies. In 2024, we were finalists in two ‘Guaranteed Irish’ awards categories – Tourism, and Sustainability Champion .
Larry is the heart and soul of Anam Croí Tours. With years of experience as the General Manager of Vagabond Tours of Ireland, he knows every twist and turn of this beautiful country. From designing incredible itineraries to guiding small-group adventures, he’s done it all. His expertise spans customer service, logistics, supplier management, and transport, ensuring every tour runs seamlessly. As a qualified transport manager and holder of a Professional Certificate in Sustainable Tourism, Larry is committed to making travel both exceptional and responsible. He’s also studied tourism management and holds an honours degree in Irish law—which comes in handy when navigating the fine print of travel regulations!
Clare is the numbers guru, making sure the books (and Larry) stay balanced. When she’s not managing the business side of things, she’s deeply involved in education within the healthcare sector. A registered nurse with an honours degree in psychology (which, let’s be honest, is probably useful when dealing with Larry!), she also holds a Higher Diploma in Education. Her background in retail management means she knows a thing or two about customer experience and organization—skills that help keep our tours running smoothly.
When they’re not crafting and delivering top-class private tours of Ireland, you’ll usually find Larry and Clare hiking the hills of Ireland, always in search of the next great hidden gem to share with you.
We are a small 100% Irish based, owned and operated company – passionate about ensuring you have the best Ireland vacation experience. And, you are guaranteed our personal attention.
We offer small group escorted Ireland tours covering Ireland and Northern Ireland. Choose from 6, 7 or 12 days discovering the beauty and culture of Ireland and her people. We also specialise in private, customised tours of Ireland. Here, we work with clients to create very special memories. Our private tours are ideal for family and friends celebrating a special occasion.
Our ethos is simple – we put our heart and soul into bringing you the heart and soul of Ireland. That philosophy is embedded in our name: Anam, meaning ‘soul‘, and Croí ‘heart‘ in our native Irish tongue.
Our logo comprises a heart surrounding the ancient Celtic (Gaelic) knot. This continuity of meaning is carried forward through the centuries from our Celtic ancestors to today.
Whether celebrating that special occasion or coming to Ireland for the annual College Football game (every August), we’ll work with you to create everlasting memories of Ireland. Ideal for groups of family and friends.
Schedule a call with Larry and create the Irish trip of your dreams.
