An unforgettable Irish adventure - Phil was an absolute delight as our guide on my trip to Ireland! His warm, friendly demeanor and unmistakable Irish charm made the journey even more enjoyable. Phil’s deep knowledge of Irish history and culture was shared with such enthusiasm that every story came to life. He had a way of making everyone feel welcome, always ready with a smile and a kind word. His passion for Ireland was infectious, and he truly made the experience unforgettable. If you're looking for a guide who goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable adventure, Phil is your guy!

Our best booking by far! - This was everything we had hoped. Paddy was a fantastic commentator- the perfect blend of history, folklore and humor. He was absolutely great. Hans drove like a pro and we were so glad he was driving instead of us, the roads really are harrowing. Our lunch stop in Doolin was a pleasant surprise, the food wasn’t just adequate (to be expected when a tour bus of people have to be fed at once) but it was outstanding. Soooo glad we went.

So much to learn and to see - Loved the surprise stops at the castle and the chocolate factory. I loved going through Doolin and eating there. The cliffs were beautiful and both our tour guide and our bus driver were the best!

Fun adventure for the whole family! - Amazing trip for the family. Just getting there was an adventure. There are three stops. A castle, a chocolate factory and a pub for lunch. The bus drivers skills are incredible on narrow roads and the guide covers many interesting local topics in a fun way. Then of course the cliffs are in incredible. 2 hours is plenty of time to hike around and take photos.

Excellent tour - It is an excellent tour. The weather was great and 2 hours is plenty of time to explore the Cliffs. Our guide, Damian, was a bit hard to understand due to a strong Irish accent, but overall a great tour.

A fabulous day! - Phil was awesome! We had rented a car and had been driving around the countryside and seeing lots of places on our own, but this was awesome because Phil had so much knowledge that he shared with us about Ireland, even down to how towns and little villages are set up!. We were so happy to not drive ourselves around for the day! Highly recommend!

Best trip! - This was an amazing tour. Paddy was our tour guide and I loved his knowledge of Irish mythology and legends. He was such a great story teller and it was a joy to listen to him. Brendan was our driver and he was excellent. The roads can be narrow with lots of turns but he handled it like a pro and the ride was very smooth. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Paddy and Brendan. Thank you, Paddy and Brendan!!
