We were most unfortunate with the weather......rained all day. However, our guide Gerry did his utmost to make the day enjoyable with stories and history of times past, craic and even sang some songs. He was competent driver in very poor driving conditions. We might go again on a fine day to actually see some of the sights!

Mike our driver was brilliant. Full of knowledge, great sense of humour, very friendly guy, very entertaining. People attending this tour or similar need to be mindful and respectful of other passengers. The tour includes drivers providing commentary, some people talking too much and loud spoiling for others. Mike had to politely tell some to lower voices, as they were spoiling the history, etc we wanted to hear.

This trip is definitely worth the visit! Our guide Ken was very knowledgeable, but I only wish he had given us a bit more information about where to go in our stop in Cong, and a little more information about timing in the bus ie. The length of time it would take to get from one location to the other. Also the bus we were on did not have charging stations and towards the end of the trip, the AC on the bus started leaking from the ceiling of the bus, several of us getting wet.
