Glendalough and Dublin with Conor - Conor was our exceptional guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and very well spoken. Our family of 4 enjoyed the day and learned so much. He gave us plenty of time to wander off and do what we wanted to do or to hang out with him. We chose to hang out with him because he never ran out of interesting things to talk about. Glendalough was a fabulous place to visit. We would have liked to have had more time in Dublin, but because it was raining, we just did a drive through the city. I loved the opportunity to see the highlights and learn more about Ireland through the life of an Irish guy. We would highly recommend this tour, especially with Conor. Thanks for a great day, Conor!

Wonderful Tour and Tour Guide - Harry! - I enjoyed this tour a lot and Harry was an amazing tour guide! It was great to see different parts of Ireland that I never expected to see. My favorite part was Michael’s Farm. Playing with the dogs and sheep as well as learning the process of training a sheep dog was very insightful. The animals are treated so well there! Would definitely recommend this to someone who has a free day in their trip to Dublin.

Brilliant! Fun! Authentic! - My daughter and I just returned from an exceptional day! Ryan and Anil, host and driver respectively, took us on a wonderful, informative and fun excursion. It was obvious that Ryan had put a lot of thought and effort into making our experience fun, thought provoking and educational. I appreciated how he shared, through stories, history telling and song, all left me understanding more about the Irish people and why he is so proud to be Irish.
I highly recommend this tour. Glendalough was magical, the sheep dog demonstration was great fun and eyeopening and we had an excellent meal at The Left Bank in Kilkenny and enjoyed walking through the grounds at The Castle and got a nice feel for the town.
Thank you Ryan and Anil for a wonderfully memorable experience!

Fun in Dublin! - Conor and Declin were wonderful! Thanks for a great time! Loved the singing and dancing by Conor and Declin’s driving was unbelievable! Bus was not good—microphone didn’t work and Conor had to sit in the middle so we could hear him.

Poorly organized - Little organized, without the right time to start, because, as we left the ship at the tender, the start of the excursion was scheduled for 9h, and may delay its start until 9:30/9.45. Some of us arrived early and had to wait for the others. Still, it wasn’t that bad because we started at 9:20, and the guide informed us that what he had done before was an hour later. In Glendalough, we combined a ride of 90 minutes, however, only two hours later we left for Dublin. Despite everything, the sympathy and talent to sing Irish songs, made this experience a satisfying experience.
