Great, small bus tour
Kevin was an outstanding tour guide. He kept everything moving really enjoyed the smaller tour bus with only 16 people powerscourt was amazing when you stop for lunch go around the corner. There’s a tiny antique store that was well worth visiting. Found some gems to take home. Highly recommend tour

Brú na Bóinne is unmissable
We really enjoyed Matt as our driver-guide; he is very personable and his commentary relayed a lot of information in an engaging manner. Brú na Bóinne is an impressive site; it's incredible to imagine neolithic peoples 5000 years ago put these together with the primitive stone tools they had, predating even Stonehenge. The OPW have organised the monuments and exhibits well. I just wish the visitor centre had a replica of Knowth's east passage tomb instead of Newgrange (which you already get to enter). From an itinerary perspective, I would have swapped out the rather unimpressive Monasterboice which isn't particularly impressive for the Hill of Tara.

Loved this tour!
Great tour, and our guide was a fantastic storyteller! I’m impressed with his ability to drive the bus in crazy traffic but talk to us at the same time in such a calm and funny manner! Wear good walking/hiking shoes and bring rain gear just in case. Each stop was interesting and fun. 10/10 would recommend!

It was Worth The Money! The horseback Riding lasted 1.45 minutes. Richard our driver was very knowledgeable & is a Great History Buff; He was Very Detailed about his Accuracy on the History of GUINNESS. The Upper & Lower LOCKS Was GREAT& The P.S. I Love you Bridge was a fun quick stop.

Superb trip & great value for money.
Absolutely terrific. Kevin provided an absolute wealth of knowledge of everything we were passing, and he seemed to know everyone as well! Although the weather turned iffy after the Bog Village (great!), and the Sheepdog Show (marvellous!) we still got views of the Skelligs and Carraig Lomain (Lemon Rock). We enjoyed the free samples at the Chocolate Factory, before we had a lovely lunch of Irish Stew in Dooley's Seafood & Steakhouse in Waterville. The last proper stop was in the picturesque village of Sneem. My wife and I both thought this trip represented superb value for money and many thanks to Kevin and the Killarney Executive Tour Co. for making it possible.

Strongly recommend for single travelers or not
Really good experience; I am glad that I choose it. The excursion is well planned, with breaks for coffee/toilet/stretching your legs. The time is kept. I enjoyed all the beautiful places that we went through and visited. during the day Liam, our driver and guide, was professional all day long. He has a lot of information and a well appreciated sense of humor.

Worth It-
We had Jamie and Das as our Guide and Driver- they were amazing, charming, knowledgeable and funny. They were thorough making sure we had seats together (there were 11 of us) and made sure no one was left behind. The biggest part of the tour was Giants Causeway and the Titanic Museum and there were quick picture stops for Dunluce and Dark Hedges. Giants Causeway does have a bus that can bring people with limited abilities- time constraints or who just don't want to walk the trails or path- for a very small fee. This was a great tour that ran timely. Shout out to Jamie and Das again for a great experience!

Best day ever
The ferry ride was terrific! Lovely, funny enthusiastic Captain and a magnificent crew
We saw dolphins and a whale as we motored by the Cliffs of Moher. Everybody on board including crew could not have been more ecstatic! It was so special I was grateful to be among the passengers and the crew when we
Spotted them. Dolphins swam along the boat for at least 20 minutes. Playing in the surf created by the forward movement. Best day ever!!!!!

Wonderful trip of Ireland landscape
While it is a long day, no doubt-this tour was awesome! All the stops were well planned: some for sight-seeing; some for quick potty breaks (which are necessary). Our driver was great(DJ) and the landscape was breathtaking-taking. THIS is what I wanted to see most about Ireland. On to Galway and the Cliffs next!

Ireland's natural beauty
We added this tour so my adult children could pet some sheep while in Ireland (!). It turned out to be a really nice chance to see more of Ireland's natural beauty, and yes, DEFINITELY some sheep petting. This tour is not a long haul from Dublin, leaving more time to hike around the Powerscourt falls--very pretty--and plenty of time to walk to the 2nd lake at the monastery in Glendalough. It concluded with a visit to a sheep farm. This was not a super commercial, produced thing--rather, it was a young man showing us how his dog, Jim, handles sheep herding duties when the sheep are sent to wander among the hills of Glendalough. A puppy wandered over, becoming the star of the show (we were encouraged to hold her!) and then we got the chance to pet and even pick up a sheep. Very fun! Overall, an enjoyable tour that did not kill us with too much time on a tour bus.

Batt was incredible! He was so knowledgeable about the area and had fun anecdotes along the way. He was funny and kept the entire bus entertained the entire trip. Excellent way to spend the day if you only have a short time to get out to the Dingle Peninsula to soak in the incredible views.

A lovely day with wonderful Kilkenny, amazing Glendalough and Wiclow mountains. Sheepdog demonstration was interesting
Everything was great.
Our tour guide Marc knew a lot about Kilkenny, Glendalough and Wiclow national park. He told us many things about St. Kevin and history in Glendalough. As well interesting facts about Wiclow mountains, Kilkenny. Kilkenny is wonderful city with beautiful castle, cathedrals and streets. Glendalough was amazing with weather, nature and monastic settlement, which we really enjoyed.
Sheepdog demonstration was interesting and sir explained to us more about the sheep farming.
Tour guide Marc entertained us on driving through the day with telling about his country and good Irish music. Our driver Satague (I apologize for probably mis-writing his name) was good driver on the narrow Irish roads and drove us safely during the day.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Ireland is packed with wonderful places to visit, but trying to fit them all into one vacation can feel stressful. Ireland day trips let you take in several sights in a single day and help you learn more about local history and culture than you would alone. Whether you want to walk famous coastal causeways or kiss a lucky stone, an Ireland day trip saves you hours of planning.
