Fun day out of Dublin - Well worth the price. Good coach bus, super nice guide Rachel, cute ship dog demonstration. Rachel made everyone feel welcome and took good care of her “Woolf pack”.

Best value to explore the Dublin Surrounding Area - Easily the best way to see the countryside and other items of interest outside of Dublin if only in town for a few days. Glendalough, Kilkenny and the Sheepdog Demonstration are all worth the visit.

Glendalough & Kilkenny - Amazing places, incredible views. The perfect company to travel and know beautiful places. Quiggs and Dan are absolutely the best ones.

Great day trip - The ride doesn't seem long, the scenery is worth the trip. Sheeping is a great thing especially for those not familiar with farming. Plenty of shopping is available too. Harry is marvelous

Excellent - The tour is excellent. Our guide Collum gave us a great history of Ireland from pre-history all the way to modern time politics, he was very entertaining as well. If I may give one criticism is not enough breaks for restroom use

Best value tour - I could easily tell it is the best value I have got for a tour. The 3 sites are all worth the visit and the ride was safe and comfortable with enough time on each spot to get the most out of it and at the same time didn’t feel exhausting for a full day tour. Our guide Quiggs was absolutely amazing, knowledgable, funny, entertaining and very inspiring. Also our driver Dan drove us safely sorting very gently and carefully those narrow winding roads.. together they make a great team and I highly recommend this tour if you want to see & learn about nature, culture, history, folk and music. Bravo!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻

Nice bus and good trip - I liked the dog demonstration and Wicklow. There is nothing much to do in Glendalough and Kilkenny. What I really liked is that your buses have a toilet for emergencies. Paddy wagon tours do not have one and they don’t schedule bathroom breaks. This is discriminates against seniors since we have to go every 1.5 hrs or so. The tour manager was knowledgeable and friendly

Disappointed with the itinerary time - The our guide was good, but the itinerary was not as good as expected. There was no time to eat lunch. We got to Kilkenny as our last stop and very late, we didn't have enough time eat lunch and tour Kilkenny. Very disappointed about that. We spent too much time in Glendalough and not enough in Kilkenny.
