Professional and Knowledgeable - most enjoyable tour we had

Ann_R, Jul 2023
Tatiana and Kenny were excellent and very professional. They know their city information and history and customized our tour to what we wanted to do. We had tours several private tours in different UK/Republic of Ireland cities and they were by far the most professional and knowledgeable. The van was as advertised, which in other cities the vehicle has been changed. and they picked us up at the port for no extra cost. I would highly recommend them.
