amazing experience!
Everything was excellent from start to finish. The bus was very comfortable, and our tour guide shared interesting stories with an amazing sense of humor that kept everyone entertained throughout the day. The Cliffs of Moher were breathtaking, and the time flew by. Highly recommended! 🍀😊

Connor is a great driver and host on the Ring of Kerry Tour
Connor was a fantastic driver, host, guide and a lovely guy!! Lots of fun! The tour was not a rushed feel, and the bus was very comfortable.
Connor recommended we do the horse and cart ride in the Killarney National Park, and he was right!! It was a lovely ride around the grounds, and we saw a lot of deer. Connor is very knowledgeable about the area, and added a great deal of insight to the tour.
Thanks Connor!!

Wild Rovers tours with Dave and Zatar are amazing!!!!
Wild Rovers tour with Dave and Zatar are the best!!!!
What a wonderful day in the rain with these 2 wonderful humans. We travelled to Belfast and the Giants Causeway.
Dave made us feel very safe and ensured we were on time. His sense of humor and tour guide commentary was off the charts. Dave made all on the bus laugh, get engaged and feel individualy special. Zatar is an amazing bus driver who gives you sweet treats every time you return to the bus.
The music on the bus was fantastic.
Hats off to these 2 gentlemen!
Only tour company I would recommend and if you are lucky enough to have Dave and Zatar your day will be fantastic rain or shine.

Visit the Cradle of Irish Civilization
Newgrange and Knowth are awesome-inspiring monuments to a sophisticated Neolithic society. Tickets must be arranged for ahead of time.
Our tour company, Hilltoptreks, made the whole trip seamless. Our wonderful driver, Richard Tynan, picked us up in the center of Dublin, and made the 1 hour trip shorter with entertaining stories about the sites we passed.
Once we finished with Newgrange, we then proceeded to explore the “Palace of the Boyne”. Richard has captivating stories about two ancient monasteries, Irish crosses, the Great Famine and the seminal Battle of the Boyne. Thanks for a terrific visit to the cradle of Irish civilization.

Must do!
Kevin and this tour was amazing! He takes you to spots where other buses do not. It was the raining the day that we went but the tour was still great and he was very safe! He even would advise you when the winds were too harsh to go outside. My husband and I would recommend this to anyone!

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.

We had an amazing...
We had an amazing experience with our guide Quiggs and driver Tomas! We left on time and had plenty of time to explore each stop. Tomas was an excellent driver and Quiggs shared stories, history, jokes, and advice with us that truly made this tour stand out. We learned so much about Irish history as well as experiencing some amazing sites. Highly recommend!

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.

“Crack” in Belfast
Our tour guide/driver was Jordan , very nice young man . He guided us to the bus in an orderly fashion. The tour destinations were worthy considering the long journey from Dublin . Jordan gave us ample time to do and see everything at each stop . He was very knowledgeable in the subject matter. Thank you Jordan !

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.
