Derek and team are absolutely amazing. Prompt and responsive during the planning phase and prompt and knowledgeable during the tour. He also does a good enough job of leaving you on your own to take the sights and scenery in on your own. All in all a 10/10, we will be booming with him again on our next trip to Ireland.
Fantastic Day!

We had a great experience with our tour guide, Derek. He was very knowledgeable and informative with the places we visited that you cant get from books or media. We love his positive energy that radiated how much he enjoys his job. We were also impressed how respectful and friendly with the people from Ireland. This is a must to experience.
