The Best Tour Guide We’ve Ever Had

5.00We have traveled the world and participated in hundreds of walking tours, and Teresa was the finest guide we have ever had. Every great tour begins with the guide, and Teresa was warm, engaging, genuine, and deeply invested in making sure everyone had an exceptional experience. She has mastered the art of knowing when to speak and when to simply let the place speak for itself. Her knowledge was extraordinary, and her generosity in sharing it was unmatched. What made the tour especially memorable were the moments when she spoke from the heart about her love for the places we visited. Those personal reflections were genuinely moving. Full of spirit, energy, and enthusiasm, Teresa brought every stop to life. She didn’t just show us the sights—she made us feel connected to them. She is, without question, the best tour guide we have ever had.
Fast moving but worth it.

5.00Truly enjoyed this 1-day bus tour.!! We had a very knowledgable guide (Theresa) who shared helpful information on the countryside, the local customs, politics & history and made the trip so much more meaningful. She gave a great tour around the Glendalough site and lots of suggestions on what to see and where to eat in Kilkenny. Thanks to Theresa for making our day trip a super experience!!

5.00We enjoyed the tour, the destinations, and the guide, along with the information he shared. The driver was skilled and safe, and the highlight was the scenery along the country roads. Glendalough was outstanding, and Kilkenny Castle was a unique experience. Highly recommend this tour.

5.00Mike and Seamus were great and I really enjoyed the tour. One big thing, the ticket said to be at the meeting point at 8:30 to leave at 8:45. The coach boarded and left earlier. Probably around 8:25. If I was "on time" I definitely would have missed the tour. Highly recommend visiting both lakes ar Glendalough and getting out for pics at Wicklow. I wish there was more time at Kilkenny, but you can catch most everything if you use your time wisely. Perfect amount of time to explore Glendalough, however. Mike's tours were great with plenty of background details and the driver easily navigated the small roads. Take the tour, but come early!
