“I could not recommend this day trip more! Our tour guide, Chris was very knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. Our driver, Jordan was also an amazing driver navigating us through our stops. I was initially nervous going on the trip as I usually get car sick but I didn’t feel a thing! Bus was very clean and air conditioned. The time spent at each spot was perfect and allowed for shopping, eating, pictures, etc. I am so happy we went with this trip!”

“The whole day was fantastic. Phil the guide was an absolute gem. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. John L the driver the driver was also very friendly. It was a long day but it was filled with activities and you can do as much or as little walking as you want. We stopped at 3 different places, Kilkenny being the last stop and the longest. This little city is an hidden gem with so many quaint shops, restaurants etc to choose from. There was plenty of attractions also, the castle is beautiful. All in all very good value for money and again thank you Phil and John L for…”

“The only gripe I have with this tour is that this is a large tour group ferried in a double deck bus. I understand this is more economical, but when you have so many people in a tour, inevitably someone is late coming back which impacted an already tight schedule. The day we visited the cliffs were glorious: no wind with lots of sun. But I would prefer a smaller group.”
