Testimonials
From Admiral James M. Loy, US Department of Homeland Security
To whom it may concern,

This recognizes the extraordinary services of Dermot Buckley. We were a party of four adults (one with a cast on her leg) that Dermot drove around Ireland for two weeks. He added immeasurably to the sucess of our trip. First, in his role as a driver, he was efficient, knowledge and conscious first and always for our safety. Irish roads often left a bit to be desired, and he navigated them without incident thruout the two weeks.

Second, he added a great menu of opportunities daily. We had planned our trip carefully and had a good idea as to what we wanted to do and see. Dermot offered each morning a game plan for the day that included all of our ideas and then offered several others that could be worked into the day because of his depth knowledge of his homeland. Each day was played out with a great combination of planned and impulse events or places that we encountered.

Lastly, Dermot was an endless source of historical context, answers to our endless questions and even personal suggestions for us to consider. He never tried to insist we do things, only to offer a menu from which we could fill the day. He suggested ideas as to sights, pubs and restaurants and soon grew to know our tastes and expectations.

All in all, I recommend Dermot Buckley highly as a proud Irish driver. His integrity, work ethic and performance causes me to offer this testimonial without reservation and there is no doubt that I will call Dermot when we return to Ireland.

From Daniel, April, and Kate Piazza
Dear Dermot,

We would like to thank you for a truly wonderful vacation. Our trip to Ireland was fabulous because you planned every detail from the roads we traveled on, to the restaurant we dined in, right down to the beautiful views we had from our many hotel rooms. We especially want to thank you for making the trip not only memorable for us but also for our six year old daughter, Kate.

Our driver, Paul, was brilliant! He not only drove us safely through the winding roads (and boy do they wind) of Ireland but taught us about Irish history all along the way. He was a wealth of knowledge and patiently answered all of our questions. Paul was sensitive to all of our needs and made Kate feel like a fairy princess. It's hard to make a trip interesting for a young child who is either strapped into a car seat for many hours or touring a 12th century church but Paul certainly succeeded in doing so. By the end of the trip you would have thought Paul was Kate's long lost Irish uncle! And ours too for that matter.

This was our first experience in hiring a chauffeur service and as the trip drew near both my husband and I experienced some trepidation. I am happy to say that any fears we had harbored were all for naught. Your attention to the smallest of details and Paul's professional but warm work ethics allowed us to completely relax and enjoy our vacation. We would not dared to have hoped for a perfect trip and yet that is exactly what we got. Our expectations were greatly exceeded and we would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone traveling to Ireland. As a matter of fact, my parents are planning their trip with you as I write this.

Thank you again for a wonderful vacation and for showing us Ireland in a safe, comfortable, and most enjoyable way.

Sincerely,

Daniel, April, and Kate Piazza

From Fero & Hannon Family
Dear Dermot,

Thanks ever so much for your time and talent, I really enjoyed all the little side trips of the itinerary. My favorite story was the leprechaun sighting, my favorite place was the picnic site, favorite entertainment you my friend. Ireland is beautiful, the scenery,people,& places will be forever in my heart. You have truly spoiled us for any other tour we will ever take. No one could think ahead as you and plan behind the scenes so flawlessly. Everything you've chosen for us to do has been awesome, suited to our special needs.

There isn't a thing we would take back from the trip, we never had to think or wonder just go along for the ride, that was my fondest hope when I first dreamed of bringing my Dad to Ireland ( besides finding somebody to answer his endless questions ) we could sit back and take it all in. You were right there every step, be it walking into the pub and finding us a great seat, showing my dad the Leprechaun, to suggesting high tea, to helping my Mum with the door & seatbelt each time, to showing us the amphitheatre on those awesome back roads.

Most loved was you, being yourself and a friend, unafraid to joke, tell a story and freely sharing all you are with us, we felt in you we met and experienced the real people of Ireland. We wish you and yours the best always, it was a blessing knowing you.

Dear Dermot,

We sit here writing this letter totally overwhelmed and in awe of your presentation of your precious country. What a place to be proud of and you show it with every breath. Our trip has been so grand that words cannot describe it.

Thank you for a wonderful tour of Ireland. Your pride and love of your country is so refreshing and inspires us to love it as well. You definitely made our trip, and in many aspects exceed all of our expectations.

Thanks for your patience and attentiveness in doing this type of tour. From showing us ruins and castles to driving the guys around to the golf courses and putting up with their banter, you kept your sense of humour. We greatly appreciate that.

We can now look back on our trip to Ireland with fond memories and feel we made a friend for life. If we ever make it back to Ireland we will definitely give you a ring. If you and your family ever make it over to Dallas, we would love to see you. Thanks for everything, we will place our moments and pictures in a special place and will tell all who will listen about the many treasures of Ireland, it was an awesome trip.

From Brian Griffen, Sharptext Ltd.
Chauffeur Service for Sharptext. Ltd.

Over the past 4 years we have used D.B. Chauffer Service for all our corporate and specialized transport needs- some quite demanding. I must say we have never been left wanting. The service provided is very professional while being friendly and flexible. Most of our executives travel abroad quite regularly and from time to time come back with some bad experiences from the so called global company's.

I'm pleased to say our decision to use D.B.Chauffeur Service has never been in question once. We highly recommend this service from Dermot Buckley and D.B.Chauffeur Service.

From Linda Cahill, American Museum of Natural History
Little did we know when three friends decided to tour Ireland that the sucess, fascination, and joy of our trip would have depended so much on the extraordinary knowledge of the country and the kindness and understanding of our needs demonstrated by our guide and driver Dermot Buckley of D.B.Chauffeur Service.

We were together almost a week, and toured towns, cities, villages and the countryside. Our travels each day were enriched by his suggestions, knowledge of the road and the adventures we had would never be found in any tour book. He is a wonderful driver, and totally reliable in everyway. Thank you for all you did to make it a very special trip, we all want to come back soon. In sum, I would recommend Dermot without reservation. I do hope that we will have the opportunity of meeting Dermot again to continue to explore the wonders of this lovely country, Ireland.

I spoke to my brother, he and his golfing buddies are planning a golf tour in Ireland, and I told him that I had just the company to handle everything.

The music is wonderful, as the memories.

From The Wagoner Family, California
Our family would like to thank Dermot Buckley for everything he did during our 14 day tour of Ireland, all the extra special touches he really went above and beyond to make us feel like family and to make sure we had a truly wonderful holiday.He was kind, considerate, funny, and just plain fun to be with. He made sure we were all having a good time which is just amazing when you consider he had three generations of females to try and please - a 7, 18, 44, and 68 year old.

His knowledge of Ireland and its history was amazing, and the places he took us to were all extremely enjoyable. Not only was his personality and knowledge impressive, his driving was impeccable. He was prompt and always ready for the days adventure. He did an incredible job and we could not of asked for anyone better. We will remember our trip fondly and him always.

From Peggy Kerr, California
Dear Dermot,

Thank you for showing us Ireland as we always dreamed of seeing it. As you know, we were in Dublin six years ago, tried driving ourselves around, and did'nt really know where we were going. We feel very fortunate to have found you for our second visit to your lovely country. Having you as our tour guide and driver was a wonderful experience. We could relax and truly enjoy our trip. You showed us everything we asked to see as well as places we never would have found on our own.

You made us feel comfortable and at ease immediately upon making your acquaintance. Always professional, you took care of our needs including hotels, nice places to eat, and interesting places to see. The five of us really enjoyed your comfortable van, felt totally safe with your driving, and your knowledge of the history of Ireland was most enlightening. We enjoyed your company and have happy memories of our travels with you.

The pictures are great, and we'll send some soon. Thanks for a great time- and best of all, thanks for your friendship. We're looking forward to another trip with you before too long.

Sincerely,

Peggy Kerr

I just want to personally thank you for all the extra effort you put into making our golf trip in Ireland memorable, fun and successful.

I can say without hesitation, that the sucess of our trip was a direct result of your efforts.
