We had an awesome experience with our tour guide Rob and the other people on the tour! The tour had a great balance of the history of beer and allowing the conversation to flow freely. Good value that allows you to try multiple local beers and move to several locations. It was a lot of fun meeting everyone! Would recommend as a perfect opportunity to explore Dublin.

Colin was amazing! He is a wealth of local, regional, and national history and did a fantastic job of leading us through the city on bikes while telling us stories of Ireland’s past. I can’t recommend this tour enough! It was a fantastic way to begin our journey through Ireland, especially after long flights and many hours sitting to get here. It was wonderful to be able to orient to the city with a little bit of exercise and a lot of interesting history and facts by Colin. If you are looking for something fun, interesting, educational, and active, look no further than Colin’s tours. You won’t be disappointed!

This was one of the best experiences we have had in Ireland. We separated from our tour to do the full Cliffs walk and it was some of the most stunning views we have seen ever. Our guide, Brian, was amazing! Very knowledgeable and charismatic. Loved him playing his tin whistle and reciting Irish poetry. Highly recommend for anyone that likes ti hike and wants to see some of the most beautiful views near Dublin. Its also a nice alf day tour.

Had such an amazing time on this tour. We left promptly (don't be late!) and had a really lovely morning at Glendalough. Luke was our guide, really funny & charming. Was quick to offer recommendations of things to see & do no matter where you were headed. He provided back story on the places we visited and fun facts such as filming locations of iconic shows. Also loved that he repeated questions he got asked by others after each stop. Anyway back to trip, we lucked out with it being a beautiful sunny morning at Glendalough. It's so peaceful. Definitely take time to sit and absorb your surroundings. At the top of Wicklow, a lovely older man named Jim was there who shared a little bit about working on the power station there. Luke also volunteered to take photos (thanks!) and let everyone have their time. The sheepdog demonstration was so much fun. And vying with Glendalough for my favourite part of the experience. Seeing how the dogs work and how much control the Sheppard has over them was so cool to see. The gent also shared some of the difficulties of Irish farming which I also appreciated and deserves to be acknowledged. I did get to hold a bottle feed a baby lamb so.. best day ever?? Next was Kilkenny, it was a little rainy by then but a cute small town to explore. Didn't do much here since I popped into a restaurant to eat - Aroi - food was really delicious. Eli was our driver and he was great as well. I was able to completely knock out on the way back with no interruptions 😅 that's smooth driving.

We had an amazing day with David touring the Bonye Valley. I was unable to secure tickets to Newgrange prior to the tour as they were sold out online, but David recommended we arrive at opening to see if there were any cancellations for the day and there were! The tickets were for noon, so he reconfigured our tour and took us to the Hill of Tara and an Bective Abbey and was an endless fountain of knowledge on both! When we returned to Newgrange we were in awe of the history and engineering- so glad we did not miss this! I cannot say enough about what a joy it was to have David as our tour guide. Between the rain for most of the day and not having advance tickets to Newgrange it could have been a disappointing day, but our tour far exceeded our expectations. Thank you David for an unforgettable experience and the true pleasure of your company for the day. We are grateful.

We spend a lovely Sunday visiting Powerscourt Gardens which were breathtaking and offered groomed walks and gorgeous vistas. After a perfect 2 hours we moved on to lunch at ‘Poppies” in the quaint village of Enniskerry. (Poppie’s food was excellent and there was a vast selection.). Derek - our tour guide and driver - was GREAT. He had a sense of humor and was knowledgeable of the area and sights. Throughout our drive he gave a running commentary on where we were and its importance or significance. Driving through the Wicklow Mountains was stunning. The views and fall colours bountiful. Our final destination at Glendalough was perfect with the monastic ruins set amongst the natural beauty of the valley. The short but beautiful walk to the lakes was the icing on the cake. The entire experience was wonderful, making for a perfect Sunday in Ireland. Thank you.

John, our tour guide, was amazing. Every stop on the tour was thoughtfully planned and fascinating. He made the trip seamless by helping us secure tickets to the Book of Kells (incredible) and the Guinness Storehouse. John was both informative and engaging, keeping us entertained and thoroughly enjoying the experience.

Patrick is an amazing soul who made our day extra special! Wonderful atmosphere, great food and beers, and beautiful sense of humor. He also has a great voice. We already miss that day and would definitely recommend to our friends. I would do it again!
