Cancelled Dublin tour

This tour was cancelled with ZERO time notice! Only upon calling tour operator after Dublin arrival did I receive cancellation notification. Outrageous.

Dublin - An authentic experience!

Liam was amazing and pushed our experience over the top. Glendalough and the Wicklow mountains took our breath away and we loved Dublin! Liam took us to a pub where we had the most delicious Irish stew and he taught us many Irish -isms; such as … follow me, I’m right behind you. Lol. What a great tour! I can’t recommend it enough.

Fair tour

The tour was average and gave us a good view of the countryside. We went to a park and were given no map or clear directions as to what to see. We also were dropped off in the city for about an hour but again had no map or directions as to how to get to the highlights of the city. Maps in both places would have been great so we didn’t have to figure things out from our phone.

They will leave you stranded if your ship is running late

After all their promises to make sure they will abide by when our ship docks, they left all of us stranded because our ship disembarked too slowly for them. So none of us got to go on the tour that we paid for!! Don’t believe their promises that they’ll wait for your ship
