5.00Julia Curran of Fay's Ireland is the BEST! Prior to our trip, she talked with the members of our group to find out what we wanted to do and what we wanted to experience. Our trip far exceeded my expectations due to Julia's expertise and exceptional organizational skills. She was quick-thinking when plans needed tweaking. Julia is the consummate storyteller. That coupled with her vast knowledge of Irish history, folklore and people assured a spellbound group whether we were motoring from site to site, exploring centuries old ruins, or stopping by the roadside to take in the spectacular views. Our days were full but we were never rushed. Julia was so committed to my enjoyment that she accompanied me and my friend, on a blustery and rainy day, to a chapel at a distance from Kylemore Abbey as I wanted to experience a more typical mid-September day rather than the unseasonably warm days I had been enjoying!
