This was absolutely amazing! By far the best day of my trip. Our guide Phillip was a wonderful guide and singer. Not to mention the amazing driving by Alec (and singing). I was glad to not drive the narrow and foggy roads. Highly recommend!

The experience was amazing, even when I have been before in Glendalough and Wicklow, our guide tour share information that let me know more about the history and the monastery. And what about the tour in Kilkenny, it was amazing. If you want to enjoy a good time near Dublin, this should be your choice:

We had a great tour with Phillip and Liam who kept us entertained on this day-tour. Was a great way to get an introduction into the Irish countryside and surrounding towns when you are short on time. Although the day was very windy and rainy, we still thoroughly enjoyed the tour, even though the views were somewhat affected!

So glad we did the tour. Our tour guide, Jerry, and our bus driver, Alec, were both fantastic. Jerry is very knowledgeable about the history behind everything and is an excellent storyteller. He made sure everyone was comfortable while staying on schedule. He really goes above and beyond to ensure everyone has a rich tour experience. We loved the beautiful scenery of the Irish country and really glad we were able to get out of Dublin to experience it.

Incredible excursion! Our tour guide Jerry provided great historical insight without feeling overwhelming. The perfect balance of relaxing sightseeing with digestible historical facts. Our driver, Hagus, also provided a relaxing ride through the beautiful Irish mountains. An absolute must do tour when in Ireland!
