Kilkenny and Kilkenny Castle
Wonderful tour.. Kilkenny Castle was such a treat but Kilkenny itself was so special. Quaint atmosphere that we could have stayed for days!!! The sheepdog demonstration was my favorite. My granddaughter enjoyed seeing it as well especially when the two little lambs ran behind us. Glendalough was stunning. We are ate at a little cafe there before walking around. It’s just a lovely place where people were walking, sitting on the clearings enjoying the weather… everything to help relax the body and mind. Perfect tour!!!!

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.

Chill day tour with plenty of stops
If you’re looking for lots of stops and not much driving, this may be the tour for you. We stopped at plenty of places over the day with a flexible driver who wouldn’t leave you behind if you were a minute late, unlike most other day tours. There was no narration from the driver most of the time, but also no spiels about tipping or leaving a review, which I appreciate it. It’s a very small bus compared to most other tours in Ireland which could be appreciated, but no power sockets inside. Some of the stops felt rushed, like the waterfall, while we had plenty of time at the settlement and the sheep farm (and didn’t have to pay to hold a baby lamb!). I think everyone had a great, chill day while seeing some great local sights. We even added in a quick photo stop at Guinness Lake which was lovely.

Excellent trip to Newgrange
We were picked up promptly at our meeting place. We were given good instructions as to what would be happening that day. Our tour guideMatt provided us with fascinating historical background about the places we were seeing. New Grange is an amazing connection to the past.

Delightful Dave!
Dave was an absolute perfect tour guide and set a tone of fun and community for our group. He even had carrots for the local donkeys and Horses so we got to have fun watching him use his "carrot launcher" to enjoy nature and stop to enjoy the little things in life. The scenery was amazing and we were given great info about each place we drove by and visited. One of the best tours we've taken, undoubtedly.

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.

Belfast Titanic Museum & Giant Causeway
Luke & Tomas were fantastic! Funny, informative and unbiased, and helpful guidance and expectations set. Felt completely safe during the entire driving experience. We had a good crew on the bus as well. The highlights for us were the Giant Causeway was amazing and a highlight of the trip — although the available food at this site was a let down (bring your own would be our advice) … but that is not the fault of Luke or Thomas … it is what’s available. We also lucked out on the weather… we had sun while on our excursions and rain while we were on the bus. The titanic museum is incredibly well done…very moving.

Great tour in early May!
There are several short stops on this tour, so be prepared to get on and off! Connor was a fantastic guide and filled the driving time with pertinent information with an engaging personality. We really lucked out with the weather; it was cool and sunny so all the photos are great!

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.

Great Way to See Sites in Ireland!
We had a great time visiting all of the sites on this trip, worth the price and definitely recommend. The guide did an excellent job giving historical information and when we got to Blarney Castle we really liked that we were given a solo opportunity to explore and experience the grounds on our own. We traveled as a group of 4. Highly recommend packing some snacks, though there are places to eat along the way - we found that food thoughts were last on our mind and were happy to have some snacks available once we got on the train.
If the option is available - the Titanic experience was so much fun!

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.
