The guide was really welcoming and played music on his way. The tour could have longer stops, for instance we stopped in few places only for 20 min which can be standardised to 30 min at least. Overall a good experience and I would recommend booking this.

Our guide was Anthony F. who dazzled us in his charming and funny stories about everything Irish from political history to art, architecture, flora, fauna, geology, Irish sports, and the Gaelic origins of Irish names and places. Learned so much in the trip, but didn’t even notice it happening. Highly recommended

Response from provider

June 28, 2025

Thank you, Carrie! We're thrilled you enjoyed your day with Anthony—he has such a gift for blending knowledge with humour and charm. It's wonderful to hear you learned so much without it ever feeling like a lesson. Thanks for the recommendation!
