A perfect day! - Jonathan was an outstanding guide and we had an incredible time! Just the right amount of bus time vs exploration and the views were incredible. I had a huge smile the entire day and the Irish songs on the bus ride home made my heart so happy. Would absolutely recommend this tour. Jonathan was an incredible host and seemed very connected to the local community around the sites and got us on a private tour of the first castle which was the favorite part of the day for me.

Exceptional Tour - This was probably one of the funnest and full of life tours I took my week in Ireland. I appreciated that it was a large van with 9 people instead of a huge bus. We got to know our tour guide better and he us. Which, also permitted us to enjoy each other’s company. It also kept us on a good schedule. Tomas, our driver and tour guide was beyond knowledgeable and had great humor, this made it lots of fun and made the trip so worthwhile. We had the ability to stop at vista points for a quick picture and also chat with the other passengers. In between each stop, Tomas shared other insightful history about Ireland and also some fun facts which made it all more pleasant. Have a tour guide who knows his stuff makes the trip. The climb up the mountain is a little strenuous so I recommend you have the ability to hike some and bring hiking shoes or tennis with traction. It isn’t out of this world hard, but does take a bit of time and maybe a little out of breath. I did this at the begging of January, so there was snow and it was VERY icy, at one point coming down the mountain slope, I slipped and fell on my ass 🤣. I didn’t hurt myself or anything like that, but it is very icy. It was also very cold, so come prepared. I would 100% recommend this tour and tour guide. Having a great tour guide is essential, because it’s what makes the tour more enjoyable. We had that! Thank you Mr. Tomas we totally appreciate the tour!

Great day out - Our first attempt got canceled and we were not notified by either Viator or the local company until we arrived at the pickup point. We were lied to for the reason of course so went to verify a refund was made. We rebooked the trip again for the next day. The trip was wonderful Melissa was great and knowledgeable. The driver however drove like he was in the Indy 500 getting a few people motion sickness on our trip. I recommend the trip it was a great day. We did get our refund from Viator. This is the second booked excursion through them we were canceled on with no notice from either company. It is a major inconvenience that leaves you scrambling.

We had a lovely journey... - We had a lovely journey to ancient sites through beautiful countryside, with Alec’s entertaining and informative commentary. It was wonderful to be able to really enjoy the sites without the stress of logistics. Our small group of travelers was friendly and our food at the lunch stop was very good and reasonably priced. Nothing felt rushed and we are very glad we chose this tour! Highly recommend for families.
