Gina and Goran are a dynamic duo! Gina provided excellent information along the way covering everything from Irish folklore to Irleand's history to landmarks to festivals in the area to places to eat! She had an amazing sense of humor and even got the bus to sing along to a song (obviously not required, but how can you say no to such an amazing tour guide?) On our trip we visited the Cliffs of Moher, Galway, and a few photo opportunities along the way. This was, by far, better than I could have expected! I highly recommend booking a tour with her specifically!! Goran was an excellent driver also! No swaying on the crazy Irish roads (I am easy to get car sick and had no issues). I highly recommend these two for your next tour of Ireland!

Such an inspirational and enriching experience! Since the moment we started the trip we were given interesting details of the history of Ireland and the most popular Irish tales. We were delighted with this perfect playlist of folkloric and recent Irish music. All the information given in each stop was super useful. And I think the timing was perfect. The collection and drop point were great and centric. Our driver JP and PJ the guide, were incredibly nice! I wish I was half as skillful driving my automatic 3 doors car as he is driving a bus.

Even in the winter, it was a wonderful trip. It's a looooong trip but worth the time. Bring some snacks and water, just in case.

Very educated guides made long trip short few stops along the way to make time go by quick

Amazing experience thanks to CJ our guide and JP our driver.
