Reviews
We did the Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, Wild Atlantic Way and Galway tour. Owen and Steven were awesome and made everything fun. Owen was very knowledgeable and gave us the history of all of the sights during our drive as well as the history of Ireland as a whole, he is definitely an asset to this company. It was great having context to the beautiful and historical places we visited. All in all, we had a lovely time and I recommend anyone visiting Dublin to absolutely make time for this tour.
Kevin and Sarah gave us a fantastic trip to the Cliffs of Moher. Kevin was very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. They even have chargers for your phone to share if you forgot to bring one which I felt was very thoughtful. We learned a lot of history and fun facts on our way to and from the Cliffs and Galway, and Kevin even allowed us to listen through the first chorus of Galway Girl by Ed Sheeran on the bus 🤣 We didn’t have time for another tour on our trip, but we hope to come back one day and do more of their tours!
Our day trip to Kilkenny Medieval City, Wicklow Mountain, Glendalough with John (our guide) was fantastic! John was a wonderful guide, full of knowledge about Ireland history and local recommendations. John made our trip fun!
