Traveler reviews
A terrific day tour not be missed
If every bus had someone like Pat as a guide, the bookings & buses would always be full. Pat’s communication was welcoming & clear. His coverage of our tour was expert & engaging. His management of the group was respectful, most agreeable & sensible. Conor’s driving provided us with a safe & smooth passage & he was pleasant & polite. We couldn’t have asked for a better pair to take us on tour.
Lovely day
Great day out with Pat & Conor. Very informative throughout. Good value for money. Coach was very clean and comfortable.
Wonderful day tour
Had a wonderful time. Learned and saw lots with enough time to explore freely. Bus ride was very comfortable. Pat was very kind and organically informative, like listening to a story as you watch the scenes go by.
Sunny day
It was a nice Day. Really well organised. Pat and Connor are nice and friendly. The bus was on time. Kilkenny was a really nice.
Deeply organised
Our guide Pat has a deep knowledge and ability of telling stories and history during the trip. Reccomended
