Paul and Sarah were great! Paul has the cutest Irish accent and is very knowledgeable. Sarah was our driver and she went above and beyond. Even found us a bathroom to use when the women bathroom was closed for cleaning. My favorite stop was the sheep farm with Richie. The bike through Glendalough was a nice reset as well.

Enjoyed every moment of the day. The bus was clean, comfortable and on time. Juan Paul has interesting stories and recommendations to share. Sarah was the most amazing bus driver. I thoroughly enjoyed the visit to Cullen's Sheep Farm. We saw the sheepdog at work and had the opportunity to hold a lamb. Highly recommended trip!

We are not really a “tour persons”, but this one was fine even for us. Our tourgide Paul was funny and very kind. Sometimes it was harder to understand him, because of the accent and our not so perfect english skills. We really feel that he likes his job and that he knows a lot about the country. Sheep farm was suprisingly very good experience. Bus was comfortable.

Paul and Sarah were great. I really enjoyed learning about the working dogs and training process at the sheep farm. We had a good amount of time at each location without feeling rushed and that was after enjoying the walking tours from Paul.

Very enjoyable day! The sheep dog experience was wonderful and exploring Glendalough and Kilkenny was a nice break from Dublin. Paul the guide kept us well informed on the places we visited and Sarah kept us safe as she drove us from place to place.

Lots to see and experience, enough time at every site to get the most out of it. Friendly staff that take time to explain things.

When I first booked this longer day , I was apprehensive that my husband and I would be able to keep up but we were pleasantly surprised and there was nothing hard about it at all , Our driver was Connor and we actually shared a birthday and Paul was great so informative and so helpful to us The ride and scenery was breathtaking and entering into Kilkenny just amazing my husband and I took off thru the city streets and stores and ate at an upstairs cafe after we had our fill of delicious food we walked around and I ran into the Butler hotel and their gardens what a beautiful place . next stop was Glendalough and Wicklow mountains the rain was a little misty but not bad to me so I’m glad we pressed on and made it to see these beautiful scenic places and lastly what a way to end the trip was the sheep dogs work with the lambs and the. holding a sweet baby lamb at the end just icing on the cake Paul and Conner were kind and Paul thoughtfully arranged for the bus to sing happy birthday to Conner and I as we shared a birthday , definitely a great trip and even though the weather was damp it never once put a damper on the beauty and charm of enchanting Ireland

Paul and Collin were a great tour team that made the day fun, efficient and a day to remember. Would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see more of the countryside and the beautiful city of Kilkenny!

Paul our guide and Tom our driver were fantastic despite the rain (not their fault of course). Highlight was definitely the sheep dog demonstration and the baby lambs. Highly recommend, especially if you want to glimpse the real Ireland outside of Dublin but also want to be back at a reasonable time too.
