Alex was fantastic!! I...
Alex was fantastic!! I loved the history he gave on the tour! The waterfall was stunning. Pictures do not do this justice. Glendalough was amazing. Beautiful. The sheep dog demo was really cool. Jonah was our person that did the demonstration. He was knowledgeable and was open to answer any questions we had. We got to pet the sheep and he also had a puppy on-site. It was an amazing day. The worst part of the day for my husband was the bus ride. He did not like the narrow, twisty roads. All in all it was a really great day and we enjoyed our adventure!!

Beautiful Tour of Ring of Kerry
Great trip, beautiful scenery tour around Kerry county. Only suggestion/complaint was sound system in bus was sporadic/low volume at times so we missed some of the guide’s discussion. One piece of advice, the directions for meeting point said be there at least 10 minutes before tour start and we got there 15 minutes before and the bus was almost full! Get there early if you want to pick seats.

Full Day of Adventure
It was a full day of adventure- the beautiful drive across the entire width of Ireland, including history and commentary from our excellent driver Kevin, the strikingly picturesque Atlantic and cliffs of moher, the gorgeous burren, a stop to buy a nice lunch and time to shop and visit the lively city center of Galway. We loved it!

Big day out - fabulous tour of Northern Ireland including a few extra sightseeing stops which are absolutely stunning. Our guide Jacob and driver Saleh were amazing. Loved the short history lessons along the way along with the commentary. Would highly recommend this tour.

Ancient Irish history brought to life
This was such a surprising, interesting and informative tour! We learned so much, and the tour made us want to dig deeper into the history of Ireland. It was a very profound experience. For other people interested in this tour I hope that all the tour guides are as incredible as Matt. He was knowledgable and funny, and had a great way of connecting with the people in the tour as well as sharing details that brought the history to life.

Perfect Irish trip!
It was an amazing day. Our guide Tommy Dixon shared a lot of Irish history with us. We stopped in a little village for lunch. They were prepared for us so food was served quickly and was delicious. The Cliffs were amazing as well as the other sites we stopped at. Highly recommend.

Our day on the Dingle Tour
The tour has a lot of road time that included great scenery with several stops of various time durations. The petting farm was very entertaining, the time in Dingle bay was appropriate but our time there coincided with several other bus tours.
The stop at inch beach would have been better received if we were given ten minutes more due to the walking distance from the bus to the water line which was very lengthy.
The tour guide and driver worked well as a team. I believe her dialogue would have been better received if we had a couple of more days to become acquainted to her manor of speaking. Her speaking cadence was very fast for us who were not use to the 'irish inflection'
Her short story telling and her singing were well received.
Overall, great tour even with the enduring rain that kept popping up.

Awesome tour with a fabulous guide
This tour is full day of seeing the beauty of Ireland outside of Dublin. The Powerscourt gardens were amazing and the Wicklow Mountains were so pretty. Enjoyed the walk/hike in Glendalogh very much. The lunch stop had wonderful fresh baked dishes. Linda was very helpful, kind and informative. Really loved the fact it was smaller group tour with only 16 people and a mini bus. I would recommend this tour 10/10.

My favorite thing we did in Ireland
This experience was amazing! We started in town and got picked up by a bus, it was really easy to find, the bus driver was very kind and helpful but it wasn’t necessary a tour just a ride there. Once dropped off at Kate Kearney's cottage there was an option to walk or take a horse drawn carriage. We chose to walk so they showed us on a map of where to go. There was a good amount of signage on the road as well. The walk was amazing!!! it felt like a literal adventure, there was so many sheep and breathtaking waterfalls and views all around! I absolutely loved walking because we got to slowly embrace everything! It took us about 3 hours to walk the 7 miles. We went at an easy pace, other groups that choose to walk kept up right behind us the whole time. Once we got to Brandon’s lord Brandon’s cottage we were able to eat a sandwich and drink a nice hot coffee before our boat driver came and got us. The boat ride was great! Our driver told us stories about the area, history and current events around the national park. It was very informative and entertaining! The boat ride was about 1 hour then we got to Ross castle and the bus back to town was waiting for us. Over all this was a great trip and I highly recommend!!!!

Fun Day Exploring the Beauty of Ireland
After a bit of a difficult start as the driver was delayed due to traffic and we had to make up time, we had a fun day exploring Ireland. The driver Brian was so knowledgeable about each of our stops and telling us about Ireland. He was even witty with a dry sense of humor.

Excellent experience!!
The Hills of Tara are just amazing! The tour guide, whose name i cant remember, was amazing. He walked with us and was very knowledgeable. He gave the group Irish mythology stories ad explained all about the Cairns and mounds.
The views are extremely gorgeous in each and every stop. From the hills to the Abby we just could not grasp how gorgeous, luscious, and green everything is.
There is some intense uphill walking that my wife was bot able to complete, so keep that in mind when booking. She has a bad knee and it is a steep hill.

A Bumpy Ride But a Wonderful Trip.
Wonderful trip, but be prepared for a bumpy ride, especially out to the Aran Islands - sit in the back of the boat if bumpy seas bother you even a little. The island is so neat and well worth the money to take a tour. We took the yellow bus and thoroughly enjoyed learning all about the island. Seeing the Cliffs of Moher from the sea was inspiring. They are magnificent.
