Traveler reviews
Great way to see more of Ireland
Absolutely loved this tour. Our guide Mac and the driver Greg were great! Mac was extremely knowledgeable and quite entertaining. He made it a point to interact with every guest. Great way to see more of Ireland.
Gravediggers Club
Totally awesome tour. Brian the driver was very professional. The drive was smooth and comfortable in a very large coach. Pat the tour guide was unbelievable. He reminded me of Sir Ian McKellen of Da Vinci Code fame playing the character of Leigh Tibing. His knowledge of Ireland and his story telling method educated my wife and I greatly on Ireland. We became part of the John Kavanaugh's Grave Diggers
Picturesque tour
Wonderful tour and Pat was so funny and informative at the same time. Great if you don’t have a car and want to go off the beaten track.
A Must Do While in Ireland
Great day trip to the country and town of Kilkenny. The price was great our guide Pat was very knowledgeable and entertaining!
A great day out! Thanks Pat
Every one of our destinations were picturesque in different ways. But what made the day really special was the running commentary by Pat our tour guide. He was animated, informative on history, culture, mythology and general recommendations too. A real font of knowledge.
