A great trip!!
Well worth the bus trip - full of amazing information, beautiful history and artifacts, plus breathtaking scenery! The titanic museum was amazing - you could spend all day there, so the two hours did feel a bit tight honestly but it was still amazing. Dunluce castle was much larger than expected but full of history and amazing views. Giants causeway to wrap up the day is truly a beautiful piece of this world that takes your breath away - especially if you have clear weather like we did! So grateful to experience such a beautiful area!

Scenic drive and lovely stops
Our driver/tour guide came across as a bit arrogant and unfriendly at first, but made up for it later with additional stops and his knowledgeable commentary.
We didn't mind his punctuality, although the way it was communicated could have been a little friendlier.
The tour itself is very well designed, with lots of lovely stops and scenic views throughout. Most of my family actually enjoyed this tour the most out of the three we took, including the Cliffs of Moher and Connemara.

A lovely day
It was a long day, but was worth seeing the beauty! Liam was an excellent tour guide. The stops at the castles were just for pictures, but was lively to see the sites. We were so lucky that the Cliffs of Mohr were clear! Liam changed the schedule to make sure we had good visuals. All in all was a lovely day.

Causeway takes your breath away, could have been longer in Belfast
Excellent experience and loved that our tour was a bit smaller. Our guide put in our order at a local tavern at the coast, which was absolutely gorgeous. Our guide, Frank, stopped at several random spots for extra photos along the coast, which felt like a little treat! The only bummer was that we only had an hour in Belfast and it truly wasn’t enough. If you have this amount of time your the City Hall it’s lovely and shows a brief history of Belfast.

Ring of Kerry
Kevin was a fantastic guide, funny, knowledgeable and good driver. He msde the drive very enjoyable with his interesting stories and made sure we got good photos, despite weather challenges. Ring of Kerry is a much more enjoyable drive when someone who knows what they are doing is your guide.

Excellent way to experience the Aran Island, Inis mor.
Very efficient, economical and friendly way to explore the Aran Islands. Remarkably caring and attentive staff on the ferry from Galway dock to Inis Mor. The bay waters were rough & some folks got seasick. There were plenty of staff with helping hands. Easy to find for a first time solo traveler. It is an independent way to explore the Aran Islands. There are also many independent tour guides for hire upon arrival in Inis Mor. Many were Inis Mor natives and were excellent historians & proud of their island. Go this way & you won’t be sorry!

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

Really great tour to some lessor known sites
We really enjoyed this day trip to the Boyne Valley. Our driver and guide was Callum and he was really knowledgeable and a great driver. Our favourite stop was the cairns and the lunch spot was excellent too. Perhaps consider offering another tour to the Boyne Valley that includes Newgrange and Battle of the Boyne as we would be interested in that.

You won't be disappointed !!!
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.

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!

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.
