5.00My partner and I had a great time on this tour with the best tour guide and driver, Liam and Pete. Each stop was very scenic, and the best part was getting really informational and entertaining tour guidance from Liam. We recommend this tour for a good mixture of nature, city, and history.

5.00We had an absolutely fantastic experience on our tour! Liam, our guide, was incredibly charming, quick-witted, and full of wonderful stories that brought Ireland’s history and culture to life. Pete, our driver, added so much fun to the journey with his great ad libs, and the playful banter between the two of them kept us smiling the entire day. One of the highlights was the stop at the sheep farm. It was both interesting and heartwarming, especially getting to hold the baby lambs — such a unique and memorable experience. Kilkenny was another standout. It’s a beautiful historic town, and hearing the stories and background as we explored really helped us appreciate its place in Ireland’s history. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide and driver duo or a more enjoyable day. Highly recommend! 🌟

5.00Ian was such a kind, funny, educational tour guide. Price was definitely fair for transportation alone, nevermind the information we received. I went alone and still had a great time exploring the stops by myself. Highly recommend.

5.00Great experience with Ian, our tour guide and Mercen, our driver. The tour was great and I learned a lot. The highlight of my entire trip is being able to hold a baby lamb! I wasn’t sure whether this was possible because we came late November, but Wild Rover made it happen. Since it was winter, we went to the sheep farm first, then Glendalough, and finally Kilkenny. I would’ve like Kilkenny first because we missed out on the castle (it closed at 4:30) and there were shops closing and no more sun. I do think it’s what has to happen given that the sun sets early in the winter. Everything was clear and no one had issues with finding their way back at each stop. I highly recommend!
