Ollie, full of energy, fun and knowledge! - Our group just got back from Ireland. We went on the Cliffs of Moher tour with Ollie. He was absolutely wonderful. He gave us a lot of history all the way up. He was supportive when the walk became a little tough for us oldies, and he was hilarious. I highly recommend it. Ollie, post your leprechaun kick picture i took. It is awesome!

Best tour of Ennis and surrounding area - Let me first start by saying Ollie is the best tour guide the world has ever seen. Outside of his vast and extensive knowledge, Ollie was an amazing person. Laid back and hilarious. We talked not only the history and sites we visited but just about anything else too. This authenticity as a person made it 100 times better. He led me through a personal hike through the burren filled with amazing history and natural formations as well as an ancient spa. We toured the Aran Islands via bike and even up to the cliffs of Moher. Ollie is a huge part of why i will me making a return trip. Not only for more tours that he provides but just knowing the awesome and passionate people that Ollie and his team are. Thank you so much again Ollie and congrats on your upcoming wedding. 😊

Great Intro to Ennis - Ollie was very knowledgeable, positive, interactive and loves his home town of Ennis! Learned about the Ennis Friary/Abbey, Daniel O’Connell and more. Ollie recommended I check out the Local Studies Centre. With my relatives parish info, I was able to locate a lot of documents listings marriages, baptisms and info about the land they rented. What a find. All thanks to Ollie! You can pick up a local map of Ennis at your hotel. On it, you will find the Local Studies Centre.
