Linda was fantastic! It was such a refreshing trip to be in nature and to take a break from the city. Just what I needed. I loved our hike (opted for that instead of Powerscourt) and Glendalough was incredibly beautiful. I felt fully at ease the entire trip.

Kevin was great! He was energetic, prompt and kind. His driving skills are exceptional. There was a car accident in the way back. So we had to turn around on the tiny road and go the other way. I’d do another tour with him again, absolutely. :-D Lastly, why am I only able to write a review per the app and not desktop???
