Booking Enquiries
Generally the pricing is per tour of up to 10 adults.
For larger groups, a per person pricing applies.
In order to secure your tour booking, all payments must be made in advance.
You can pay the deposit online through our link: https://www.hfhtours.ie/pay-now/
Unfortunately, we cannot ‘hold the date’ for you, especially for tours during high season.
Once your tour is pre-booked, you may pay cash on arrival.
By default, if you book a tour on our website you are offered to pay by credit card. All payments by credit card are processed by a third party, Stripe therefore they will handle all your payment information. Please refer to their website for terms and conditions.

For customised tours, you can also pay by bank transfer – let us know and we will prepare an invoice for you.
For pre-booked tours, you may also pay cash on arrival.
For a private tour, we normally prefer groups of between 5 and 25 people. The purpose of a private tour is to create a personalised experience for a group of friends/family who already know each other and their travel needs.
Larger groups may be accommodated by prior arrangement.
If your group is more than 20pax, however, it is preferable for all parties that the group be split into separate tour times/dates.
There is a standard fee for tours up to 10 people. Prices are based per visitor afterwards.
Tour Information
All our tours are private and tailored exclusively for your group. Why? Because every group is different. Think of the tour as a conversation rather than a script. If we were doing a scripted tour like so many, we’d lose enthusiasm for it after a while. So by making each tour unique, it becomes a challenge for us, and it keeps us enthusiastic and energetic about showing you the best features and history these historic family homes contain.
Please review the individual pages for each house and you will find details of what is in store.
Each tour lasts between 1 and 2 hours with refreshments.
Travel time between venues is also factored in.
Planning Advice
Unfortunately, Children under 12 years are not allowed on the tours. Older children should be fully supervised at all times.
Please have a working phone number through which the guide can contact you, but only in case of emergency or last minute changes.
Bring ‘sensible shoes’, as you may be walking on uneven ground outside and inside the homes. Also, if you wish to enjoy the gardens and outside, bring raingear or an umbrella to deal with Irish Summer weather!
While the house owners strive to ensure that, as far as is practicable, the house is accessible to everyone, the buildings are not wheelchair accessible, and many do not have ramps and handrails.
