Absolutely wonderful! Our favorite tour in Ireland! - Our guide was very knowledgeable and so willing to share all of his knowledge with us. The tour was just the 4 of us traveling together and he spent more time at places we were very interested in and extended our tour. We could tell he really enjoyed what he was doing and that made for a great tour!

Joe our guide was was just terrible. He didn’t even give us a two our tour and he even rushed the one hour he gave us. - I signed up for a two hour Romantic tour of two mansions in Kilkenny. Joe was our guide. He not only did not provide such a tour but only Wales us around one mansion and told us he needed to leave in an hour. He should not be in this tour business and for the cost of over $400 this was absolutely irresponsible. I would like to request see t a refund.
