A fun day out of Dublin - Gelndalough is beautiful, despite (or because of?) heavy drizzle. Our guide, Martin, was very engaging and knowledgeable. In Kilkenny he took us all around different sites, and amused us with with entertaining stories. Well worth a day trip if staying in Dublin for a few days

Make the most of a short visit with this day trip - This is the perfect day trip if your time in Dublin is limited and you want to get out of the city and see some of the countryside. I had Teresa and Alec. Alec was an excellent driver and I felt safe in the narrow roads. Teresa was an excellent guide. Her commentary was interesting and she was clear and easy to listen to.

This tour is a MUST! - Everything was amazing! The sights were beautiful, the stories were entertaining, and the tour was very organized. There is plenty of time to do everything and not feel rushed. Our tour guide Pat and driver Alec took great care of us! I wish I had the same combo on every tour I take.

Wonderful experience with guide Paul (Wicklow, Glendalough and Kilkenny) - This was a fantastic experience! Our guide was Paul and he was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic about the areas that we visited and very personable! Our driver was very professional and worked very well with Paul. I believe his name was Aegus… We had a wonderful experience driving through the Wicklow mountains, visiting Glendalough and then the castle in Kilkenny. We enjoyed our experience tremendously! Special thanks to Paul, (with Collins) who was wonderful!

Our guide Pat was the best. - It was awesome beginning to end. The scenery was beautiful and our guide Pat brought the land to life with his commentary. We took the walking tour with him and made a new friend. Pat is a retired educator and he clearly was a great one. My wife and I would have loved this guy as our teacher. Thank you to our new friend.

Enjoyable - Guide was amazing and the trip was good but the visits to the sites were short, just enough time for viewing and pictures. It would have been better if had more time.
