I’d definitely recommend...

I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see a lot of Ireland with limited time to do so! The landscape we saw is indescribable!! I’d recommend taking the horse cart through Killarney National Park too! (If you’re hesitant due to the treatment of the horses, like we were, we were told they take 2 trips a day and only work 2 days a week.)

Great Experience!

This tour did not disappoint! Aside from having perfect weather, our drivers were extremely knowledgeable and made the trip a lot of fun for everyone. Both of them, Sean (I believe) and Connor, made the trip twice as great! My husband uses a walker and before we even got off the bus at the designated stops, it was waiting for him at the bottom of the exit steps.

Worth It

Conor and Michael were lovely guides, made a point of showing us some fantastic things and had wonderful banter besides. Well worth the day, and what stunning scenery.

All in all, a day...

All in all, a day full of beautiful impressions and places. Except for the driver who picked us up and drove us back from Limerick, everyone was friendly and respectful.
