As a veteran traveler and tour leader, Francesca Winch can promise you a personalized travel experience, laughter, learning, and a plethora of new found friends on both sides of the Atlantic! Her love for Ireland has coursed through her spirit from birth. A dual Irish and American citizen with roots in Counties Mayo and Roscommon, she grew up in northern New Jersey and began summer visits to cousins in Ireland once she was old enough to earn money for my airfare. In the 1980s, when this was still the thing to do, she spent summers hitchhiking all over Ireland and, in 1992, she led her first tour of high school students. She’s always loved both literature and history, and, having majored in the former and minored in the latter, she designed the tour as a fun learning experience. 
Having retired after 36 years as a high school English teacher in Arlington, Virginia, and as the wife of a professional Irish musician, she spends the school year immersed in the Irish music and culture that is the heartbeat of her home, and summer vacations visiting family and friends throughout Ireland. Eire-Go Tours is a progeny of those earlier tours, expanded to appeal to all ages and interests.
