We are so happy we hired John. After driving all over southwest Ireland, we were excited to take the day off from behind the wheel and hire someone else. This day trip was great-Kylemore was beautiful! Our favorite part was stopping at a roadside shop and pub for some shopping a coffee. John was our driver and he couldn’t have been more lovely-funny and caring. We would do this again in a heartbeat.
