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.

Great Experience. Don’t miss it - Pat and Alec were wonderful. Knowledgable, and personable. Schedule allowed plenty of time to take in all of the sites without being rushed. The entire trip was a great experience, highly recommend. The trip was well worth the price.

Pat & Liam are GREAT - Our bus driver Liam was great. We felt safe the whole trip, and we arrived at all our destinations on time or early, despite the rain. As for our guide Pat, he was an absolute pleasure. Great stories. Friendly. Easy to understand. But the best part was his love and enthusiasm for all things Ireland. That passion shone through, and made the tour extremely enjoyable and memorable. THANK YOU, Pat and Liam!

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

Beautiful & fun! - Brian was a great tour guide who shared a ton of information, and we appreciated Sean's safe driving through some pretty tight roads! The views at Glendalough were stunning - so worth the trip. It was a good mix of guided and on-our-own time. We only wish we had at least 30 minutes more at Glendalough and in Kilkenny (we ended up having about 30 mins less than advertised at Glendalough, which was a bummer - maybe it was due to the traffic, but rather than staying on time to get back to Dublin around 6pm to the detriment of maximizing time at the stops, I wish the company instead tells tour attendees to agree to being flexible about their timing so that regardless of traffic, we have the full time at each stop as originally planned). Nonetheless, we would definitely recommend this tour!
