Old Sod Travel

We specialize in creating highly customized trips to England, Ireland and Scotland. Old Sod Travel was a hobby that has become a business. And we do.

Our passion for traveling to Ireland and love of helping others create the "perfect vacation" got us started. As we continued to help people plan and book their dream trip to the Old Sod, the responsibility implied by handling people's money and planning their vacation made it obvious that we needed to run this like a business. We don't create packages and try to sell them to our clients (most of

whom are or become friends). We create customers and help them to find the places, the activities, the sights, the pubs, the experiences, the restaurants and the accommodation that will make the PERFECT TRIP! For us, anything less would be a disappointment.
