We enjoyed the national park the best in Wicklow. We also enjoyed Richey’s farm and appreciate him sharing that. It was fascinating to learn more about real ranches in Ireland.

Our tour guide Kevin did a fantastic job educating us on all the sites that we visited. Loved the sheep farm and the opportunity to hold one of those cuties. I have to make special mention to the Driver Marcin who found my late husband’s toque that I lost. It was a Christmas miracle getting my toque back and it’s all thanks to him!!! All the drivers and tour guides are very kind and personal. Will highly recommend this company for any future tours.

The sheep farm, Glendaloug, Kilkenny tour was wonderful. Liam, the guide and Pete, the driver were delightful. Even the singing. It was a perfect day for me,

Liam (guide) and Pete (driver) were an amazing pair! We learned so much on the tour and enjoyed every minute. There was something for everyone: lots of history and insight at each destination, the sheepdog demo and holding the lambs was a definite highlight and joy at all gimmicky, the “hike” to upper Glendalough lake was easy and a nice stretch of the legs, the scenery was beautiful throughout, and Kilkenny had more historical insights, shopping, and time to just have a drink at the bar. I highly recommend both this tour specifically and this tour company.

This tour was an absolute delight. Our tour guide was amazing—funny, engaging, and kept us all intrigued with the stories they shared. We did so much, but my favorite part was getting to hold baby sheep and walking through the moss-covered forests that were so vivid and green. Truly beautiful

Sure we had a powerful day today. We wouldn’t change a thing. Pete and Liam gave us a lovely time. I had a hike, held a lamb, shopped and ate a great meal. Thank you.

The trip was wonderful. We had a great tour guide with a cool black hat.. I specifically enjoyed the time with the shepprd, holding the little lamb… kilkenny was a cute little place and people were friendly just like everywhere in Ireland.
