Traveler reviews
Great sites, terrible tour guide
Oli our guide had some seriously offensive bad breath, but by the end of the day he smelled of BO. He was entirely of unprofessional venting. He spent the trip openly bad-mouthing his boss and trash-talking a fellow tour guide, then threw a full meltdown over Sunday evening traffic as if congestion on a weekend were a personal insult. To top it off, his directions to the lake were completely wrong and had us wandering off-course end up on steep hill. The older lady next to me said he was the worst tour guide she ever had and I can’t say I disagree. The real hero of the day was the bus driver, who deserves a massive raise for remaining calm and professional while trapped in a moving vehicle with this level of incompetence and bad attitude. The final insult is he blew smoke in a bunch of ur faces while we were waiting to load the bus because he took a smoke break at 10 minute stop. The tour stops were wonderful, perfect timing if you don’t get told the wrong directions at the lake.
Great time
Oli was our tour guide and was engaging throughout. Super cool tour which led us to the best part of Ireland. It is a whole day tour but you shouldn't feel too tired afterwards because you can practically do it at your own pace as most of the commentary happens on the bus. 10/10 will tour with this operator again.
An amazing trip
We loved the tour with Oli and Deco. The places were amazing and Oli gave us a very passionate and detailed context to make it very special. We definitely recommend it!
Excellent
