Beautiful sites and awesome tour guide!

Oli was an amazing tour guide! He was funny, kind, very knowledgeable, and incredibly personable.

We had a great time and would highly recommend taking this tour with him!

Cliffs of Moher & the Burren Tour from Galway

Jessica_P, Jun 2026

Cliffs

If your meeting stop is at the Kinlay Hotel in Galway, you must go inside and check in at the desk. If you want to sit with your family be there 30 minutes ahead of time. We arrived 15 minutes early and could only sit across from each other. Our guide, Patrick, was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He pointed out many interesting sites and when able stopped for a minute for us to take pictures. The Cliffs are beautiful. It is a steep walk up and they do have a cart to take you up if you are unable to walk up. We were given two hours to explore and used every minute.

This tour was amazing! The drive into Belfast was the perfect length with a stop on the way. Giant’s Causeway was simply breathtaking. I cannot put into words how amazing this place is! The rest of the day was fantastic as well with the Titanic Experience being the last stop - we learned so much at this humbling place. Our tour guide, Luke, was wonderful and so knowledgeable. Our bus driver, Goran, was fantastic! Highly recommend this tour!

Full-Day Tour of the Dingle Peninsula, Slea Head, and Inch Beach

Wade_C, Jun 2026

My wife and I took this...

My wife and I took this tour during our second trip to Ireland, and we had a great experience. We were staying at The Great Southern Hotel in Killarney, and the pickup location was the same convenient spot we used for the Ring of Kerry tour, only about a seven-minute walk from our hotel. This tour had a much larger group than our Ring of Kerry tour, so it was conducted on a full-size coach. Our driver, Sean, did an excellent job navigating the narrow roads, tight turns, and busy streets along the route. Our guide, Sheila, was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing information and commentary throughout the day. Be prepared to pay attention, as she keeps the narration going for much of the journey. The scenery along the Dingle Peninsula was spectacular, with highlights including Inch Beach, Slea Head, and the town of Dingle. The schedule is quite tight, even more so than the Ring of Kerry tour, so most stops are relatively brief. However, we appreciated having about an hour and a half in Dingle, which provided enough time to grab lunch, walk around town, and do a little exploring. As with any tour that covers so much ground in a single day, this experience is designed to give you a sample of several beautiful locations rather than extended time at each one. If that’s what you’re looking for, this tour delivers. We enjoyed the day and would recommend it to anyone wanting to experience the highlights of the Dingle Peninsula without the hassle of driving themselves.

Dublin to Wicklow, Glendalough Small Group Tour with Horse Riding

Vera_B, Jun 2026

It felt like riding into a fairytale!

The horseback riding was incredible. I loved Killegar Stables. Everyone there is super friendly, and the guide, Joe, knows the forest like the back of his hand. Riding along the pastures on the way to the forest, with the ocean as the backdrop, felt like riding into a fairytale. 10 out of 10. The rest of the tour was wonderful as well, with spectacular views and a bit of history and folklore as told by our guide Derrick. All in all, I would say horseback riding was the absolute highlight for me. If you want to ride in one of Ireland's most picturesque and magical locations, I highly recommend this tour.

Ring Of Kerry Tour

Christopher_K, Jun 2026

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.

Blarney Stone, Rock of Cashel and Cahir Castles Tour from Dublin

Michelle_L, May 2026

SLAINTE - The newlyweds Marcus & Michelle

The weather we had was everything IRELAND had to offer except for high heat and freezing cold, everything in between was given - dress in Layers and bring a windbreaker/rain coat. The tour guide we had - BOBO- was absolutely brilliant in locations, histories, and personally funny stories. The tours of the castles and self guided tours were perfect. Explanation of time allowed at each sight, pick up/drop off locations were shown and easily found. You will need a full daily tours 3-20+ times to say you enjoyed and have seen some of the sights of Dublin Ireland itself. The tour buses we road on were clean, comfortable, quiet and had space for a larger traveler to sit and enjoy the passing scenery. The only bad part of all the tours -time - it will get away from you and then your running to the bus, being the last one to get on as everyone else is waiting on you… Bobo- Thank you for your knowledge, happy wishes for a long happy marriage and life. Bendiciones, salud, amor y vida (blessings, health, love and life) from Marcus and Michelle. Until next time.
