Underwhelming, overpriced and frankly boring
The guide was nice enough, but overall the price for what was received felt incredibly underwhelming. I could have rented a car for the day and had a cheaper experience with more in it. It felt like a seniors summit and didn't deliver anything more than views through an incredibly bumpy bus that made me car sick. The stop for lunch was also boring. There was nothing to do or see and there was only 1 food option which made it seem very tourist trap like. Overall I wouldn't book another.

Wonders in nature never cease.
Trip with Ireland Wild Escapes was great, and the guide very knowledgeable. Gerry did an excellent job. The weather there is unpredictable and that limited my photography and bird sightings.

A quick but thorough look...
A quick but informative look at some great local sights, with helpful and entertaining commentary. He is a good driver too, a necessity on narrow twisty roads.
