Meet your Ireland specialist
Taryn Harrison is Juniper Tours’ most tenured specialist — the person behind nearly every Ireland itinerary we’ve ever designed, and the specialist most often cited by name in client reviews. With 25 years of experience and over 85 personal visits to Ireland alone, she brings a depth of firsthand knowledge that simply can’t be replicated from a desk.
She is a Certified Master Specialist in Celtic Countries (CMSC) — one of the travel industry’s most rigorous destination credentials — and a former Peace Corps volunteer, which says a great deal about both her character and her approach to travel. Taryn doesn’t recommend places she hasn’t personally been. She knows which castle hotel has the best breakfast, which Dingle pub has the best traditional session on a Tuesday night, and which booking needs to be made six months out or it won’t happen.
Taryn leads all Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, England, Wales, Portugal, and Spain itineraries at Juniper. Her reviews consistently mention not just the quality of the trip but the quality of the planning process — the feeling of being genuinely heard and understood from the very first call.

What travelers say about Taryn
★★★★★
“Taryn knocked it out of the park 10x over. This was our honeymoon and our first time traveling outside of the States. We have only been home 2 days and have already discussed going back next year.”
Amelia M.Ireland Honeymoon
★★★★★
“Should you book the travel advisor? Undoubtedly YES. Two countries, ten counties in fifteen days — absolutely the most perfect honeymoon we could have asked for.”
Chelsea M.Ireland & Scotland
★★★★★
“Taryn helped us out of a huge jam on short notice. Truly an unbelievable once-in-a-lifetime experience — a wonderful, stress-free trip from start to finish.”
