Want to explore the rolling hills of Ireland with some history and laughs along the way? Then look no further! Dion went above and beyond to provide all passengers with the history of each landmark we encountered, was very accommodating for all passengers (making recommendations to local shops and eateries while in the area) and just all around a great day with wonderful memories! 11/10 recommend!!!
