Beautiful and Comfortable Tour - Brian was our friendly and knowledgeable driver. When he learned we were on an ancestral history trip he was sure to point out the towns we were interested in along the way and give us some information about them. Our driver was good at communicating times and locations to return and did a head count before leaving ensuring no one was left behind. The coach was comfortable with room for passengers to spread out a little. The stops were well timed. The only thing I wish I had understood was there was only one cafe at Mizen head and being a Vegan I was disappointed that they only had vegetable soup as an option. I had brought my own food just in case. The other thing to note is Mizen Head maybe a difficult walk for those who cannot do inclines and the bridge is not for those afraid of heights. Still a beautiful view if you don’t pay for the observation bridge access but you will miss much of it.

The trip that has everything - The trip was made by the tour guide John, who was a constant source of information from the Famine, Oliver Cromwell and Covid all bad to the scenery, farming, day to day life in the Westmof Ireland all good. The trip was really good because there were various stops for leg stretching and comfort breaks and to explore lovely little towns and villages in the way to Mizen Head. We had over two hours at Mizen Head to enjoy the sea, views and loved the whole experience. This trip was good in every way and it led all the boxes on a visit to Ireland. Also enjoyed the history of the civil war and war of independence and about Michael Collins and we saw his home town, house and statute. A five star experience.

Thumbs Up - The guide was excellent. I really appreciated all the information along the way. The bus was top and the trip was superbly organised. The main target itself was (Mizen Head) was awesome, even in typical Irish summer weather.

Mizen Head is breathtaking! - We had a great time on this tour, our driver/tour guide, Brian did an outstanding job explaining what we were seeing and the history behind it all. We got to walk the Mizen Head bridges, platforms, stairs in perfect weather, never expected that.

Beautiful Day at Mizen Head - Enjoyed this tour. Driver Brian and guide Pat did a grand job. Gave us so much information and answered all questions. I don't know how they managed to drive down some of those narrow roads but they did a good job. I saw very few people put trips in the jar which was a shame. They did such a splendid job. Thank you!

Stunning beauty - Mizen Head is absolutely amazing. We had an excellent driver and tour guide. The one unfortunate issue was that 90 minutes was not enough time to take in all the beauty of the area and get lunch.
