The chauffeur was quite lovely with enthusiasm sharing Irish history and his love for Ireland. The cost was a bit steep.

3.00Cost is prohibitive for the length of trip with the booking company receiving more money than the driver. Please allow more time visiting the destinations instead of sitting in traffic.
Taufeeq was great....

My successful ancestral journey of finding my family in Kilkenny & Waterford

5.00We enjoyed a very full day of beautiful Kilkenny that was enhanced with our Guide’s expert knowledge about the community and many of its special spots. Zac guided us through the complex history of Kilkenny and Waterford. He was on our team when it came to taking a “long way home” in order for me to visit a cemetery where an ancestor was buried. He was as happy as we were to actually find the tombstone! He indulged us by allowing us to have tea and biscuits with a distant family friend that we met serendipitously in the cemetery! Our hearts were overflowing with joy and gratitude for these moments that Zac helped us experience! We can’t wait for our next trip!

Delightful Tour and Amazing Guide

5.00Zac was an excellent tour guide and driver. His car was clean, comfortable, and he is a real gentleman (opens the doors, offers extra water, thoughtful in all ways). The castle tour was good, but he also took us to an Abbey which was peaceful and special. The trip to Waterford goes by fast as Zac offers a blend of factional information about the modern Irish lifestyle and history of the sites, along with a personal touch. He is a brilliant conversationalist with depth and thoughtfulness. Finally, the tour of the Waterford Factory is so much better and interesting than you think it will be. The artisan work is amazing once you see what goes on behind the scenes. This tour is well worth the money and time.
Waterford Crystal was amazing!
