Reviews
(Translated by Google) The tour was very entertaining and informative. We were guided through the history, the lives of the local people, and events involving historical figures. Our guide, Mattheu, was witty, attentive, and very pleasant. We had a wonderful day. (Original) Die Tour war sehr kurzweilig und informativ. Wir wurden durch die Geschichte, das Leben der Bevölkerung und Ereignisse mit historischen Persönlichkeiten geführt. Unser Guide Mattheu war witzig, aufmerksam und sehr angenehm. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Tag.
The tour was great even if the weather didn’t cooperate. Mathew kept us entertained with just the right amount of information sprinkled with humor and reinforced with excellent Irish music. And our driver Billy kept us rolling in comfort and safety!
Billy was an excellent driver and Matthew's presentation was thirough and thoughtful, with specially selected songs to illustrate the points he was making. He so gave very good recommendations for how and where to spend the free time in each place.
