Traveler reviews
Interesting day… Albeit a little bit scary
We had mixed feelings about our tour with Elegant Irish Tours . Our driver, Daren, was friendly, somewhat funny and entertaining, and he took us to some interesting places that we enjoyed seeing. Unfortunately, there were several issues that made the day much less enjoyable than we had hoped. Communication before the tour was poor. We were arriving by tender from our cruise ship and had explained that getting to the meeting point at the exact stated time might be impossible. We were also not allowed to have the driver’s phone number, which made coordinating our arrival much more stressful than it needed to be. To their credit, they did wait for us. Our biggest concern was the driving. Daren drove extremely fast, and honestly, we felt nervous and unsafe for much of the day. Although we arrived everywhere without incident, it was difficult to relax and enjoy the scenery when we were so uncomfortable with the speed At one point, we were also dropped off at a lake and left there for about an hour and a half, which felt like a lot of wasted time on a private/small-group tour. There were some enjoyable moments and Daren had a pleasant personality, but overall the poor communication, excessive driving speed, and the way the day was organized made this a disappointing experience for us.
Comfortable excursion.
The monastic ruins of Glendalough were an interesting place. Afterward, we went straight to Dublin. The small group excursion turned out to be more comfortable.
Glasgow tour
James was great had a nice day . It’s seems a little on the pricy side but he does pick up at port which many don’t . Saw the town the Glasgow cathedral and a museum . It was my request to head back a little early as I didn’t want to miss the ship . He is dressed in his Scottish clothing which is great and special .
This was an excellent...
This was an excellent excursion and we would certainly do it again. We went all around Liverpool and saw a lot of interesting things.
Excellent tour of the...
Excellent tour of the Irish countryside outside Dublin. Our driver/guide was extremely knowledgeable about Irish history and was (rightfully) proud of his country.
