The trip views were second to none of all we saw in Ireland. Bernie, our trap cart driver was knowledgeable and hilarious. He had us laughing from the moment we met him. Transportation from Ross Castle to the beginning of the tour ran very smoothly And professionally. The two men that drove the boats through the lakes were wonderful and interesting. Having the rain fall and the sun shine off and on added to the experience. I would recommend this trip to anyone at any age. Our favorite excursion of our 12 day trip to Ireland.
