We travelled with the Big Bus. We had a wonderful driver/guide. He was in a great mood and happy to share his knowledge on the fishing village of Howth. My daughter , a professional photographer, had plenty of time to shoot some great photos. We also had a wonderful fresh seafood lunch at The Brass Monkey on the pier.

This was a last minute add to our itinerary in Ireland and am I so glad we added it! The tour guide, Ross, was absolutely fantastic- clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing Ireland with others.

Our tour guide Ross was professional, friendly and entertaining. He was a lot of fun. The driver (I think his name is John) was also great. Smooth ride all the way. Our first tour through your app. Great experience.
