A Great Tour Despite the Weather - Despite the cold and rainy weather, we had a great time. This tour excellently combines nature and human history. Glendalough is a beautiful natural site with two stunning lakes and historical sites, including 5,000-year-old churches and houses. Kilkenny is a charming old town rich in history and local living experiences. Mike (the tour guide) and Mike (the coach driver) make a perfect team. They are friendly and professional, ensuring a pleasant and safe tour. Our tour guide Mike is knowledgeable and shared many fascinating stories about Ireland. Plus, he's a good singer too!

Mac was amazing! - 10/10 Mac was very fun to listen to (he even sang to us), and was incredibly helpful in providing us with insight and guide throughout the entire tour. He also took us on a free walking tour around Kilkenny. As someone who went alone, he made sure to look out for me and was incredibly kind. Would highly recommend this tour and especially with Mac! -Samara

Quite informative and well worth the trip - We took this tour with Pat and Alec at the helm and they really provided a whole day of great sights and sounds. Pat was so engaging and provided us with so much historical information and with so much passion. It was a wonderful day by coach and we would recommend this to friend and family for a full day of interesting places and magnificent sights to see.

Enjoy the beauty of Ireland - The guide was great at providing perspective and history to frame the sites we were seeing. It really made the entire experience more enjoyable. Everything was timely and well considered, and we had really nice size brakes at each of the sites to be able to explore a little on our own as well as get a guided tour. I really enjoyed the pacing of the store. It was definitely a nice experience for someone got off a plane at 5 AM and only had a day in Dublin.

Engaging and well planned tour - Driver Bryn and tour leader Pat were a dynamic duo. Pat was extremely well spoken and informed about Irish history and also about Dublin places to visit. Pat was courteous and entertaining. Loved his stories. Definitely worth while tour . And Bryn is an excellent driver.

The bus does not have a... - The bus does not have a restroom at all and there are no stops for restroom breaks. The first and last leg of the trip were about 2 hours each. Keep that in mind if you are pregnant, have children, or have any medical condition that requires urgent or regular restroom use. The bus was very dirty when we first got on, there was trash, candy and chip wrappers, and empty beer and soda cans on and behind the seats. The bus was eventually cleaned at our second or third stop by that time the tour was already halfway done. The tour itself was fun and entertaining, as well as the tour guide. I just have hard time with tour/ bus that doesn’t have restrooms, especially for that a trip that many hours.
