At Brehon Tours we all have the same goal: to create
the most perfect experience possible for each and every guest, using knowledge
gained by many years of guiding visitors to Ireland. We want each guest to leave
with a real knowledge of and love for Ireland and with wonderful memories that
will last a lifetime.
We organize tours only in Ireland, using our unrivalled experience and dedication to excellence so that our guests
can relax completely and get on with enjoying their vacation while we take care
of all the details that make it a truly special and memorable one.
The Brehon Laws
The
Brehon Laws were statutes that governed everyday life
and politics in early Ireland. They regulated every rank of society, from the
king down to the slave, and set out in detail not only their rights and
privileges but also their obligations.
Under
Brehon Law, householders had a duty to provide
hospitality and each clan appointed a person to the office of 'briugu',
with responsibility for ensuring that obligations of hospitality for the clan
were met.
At Brehon Tours we act as your briugu, making sure
that you meet with the best of Irish friendliness and hospitality where ever
you travel with us.
