Traveler reviews
Perfect for us.
My husband and I took this private tour. Jason was great. Informative and knowledgeable. He accommodated the pace for us as we like to keep moving but still have time to enjoy the stops.Arranged for a wonderful lunch in Howth. Very comfortable vehicle and set up with a sound system, which worked well for us to hear.
Do not miss this trip!
We are frequent users of Viator private tours when traveling and I just have to say this is one you don’t want to miss. Jason far exceeded our expectations providing us a fabulous day in Dublin and Howthe! So professional, extremely funny and a true historian. His vehicle is top notch and his stories will entertain and educate. We are scheduling a return trip and will definitely seek out Jason again. A true Dublin experience!! Thank you Jason, our family is so grateful.
You should do this tour!
We had Jason for this wonderful day trip out of Dublin. He has great stories to tell about Dublin’s interesting past. Our group of 4 fit great inside the comfortable van. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the cliffs at Howth on such a beautiful sunny day and Jason knew the best spots to take us and still remain on our schedule
A great tour out of Dublin
Jason was a great guide for our day touring outside of Dublin. He knew the neat things to do and did a great job engaging our children by providing things to feed the birds and squirrels. He also located some seals while we were eating lunch and could not wait to show them to the kids. He showed great patience as our group tends to move at a slower pace. If in Dublin, this is the tour guide you would want to show you a great time. Thanks, Jason, for making a lifetime memory for all 7 of us. You are a blessed entertainer.
