4.00The tour was good. Could have used more time at Winslow Mountains, it was a beautiful spot. Kilkenny was nice, found it a bit long. Driver and guide were good.
Dermit is great!!

5.00Our tour guide, Dermit, and driver, Joseph, were some of the most welcoming and fun tour guides we have ever had. The trip was informative, historical, fun, and efficient. I really enjoyed walking around Glendalough and learning about the history and exploring the nature. Because of the nice weather, we were able to stop at Wicklow Gap before driving to Kilkenny at the end of the tour. Would 100% recommend to a friend traveling to Dublin.
Three Cheers for Ireland

5.00We had an excellent tour with Guide Mike and Driver Adam. The National Park at Glendaloch was a good mix of great historical info, and a relaxing hike. Kilkenny also had interesting historical information and sites. Mike also filled the hours of bus time with great stories to better understand Irish culture.
Outstanding… great history lesson!
