Excellent Guide and Tour

Fun event for the whole family to do. Would recommend it. Our tour guide Conor, was excellent! He told us a lot of history, everything about Ireland. He told us some Irish slang, etc… Sheep tour was the most fun for all

Well run and not over-managed.

Great experience, well-organised and smoothly delivered. Plenty of time for exploring on your own. Oriel was a great host.

Our tour guide Frank was good but I ak not comfortable on the discussion about politics . But overall , he was good ! The bus has AC issues for some part of the journey .

Beautiful nature & sheep!

Beautiful nature, and sheep demo was also fun! Long day, but the bus was pretty comfortable. Lunch option in Glendalough is limited (food trucks) or a hotel. We did food trucks since we wanted to see the lake and the monastic ruins. Overall, would recommend!

A day away from Dublin

It was great, our driver was knowledgeable. The shepherding excursion was fun. The dog is so smart, the sheep are friendly. Good excursion for the cost. Eat at the food trucks not at the hotel. The food was very bland and pricey. It was a nice way to get out of Dublin
