Amazing tour!! I’ve taken so many different tours with other companies (in Dublin, Connemara, the west coast, and Belfast). I don’t think any really compare with the overall experience of this one honestly. Ian and Marcen were so lovely and knowledgeable (plus super fun and funny). We had enough time everywhere and the walking tours Ian had offered to do were super helpful. PLUS getting to hold the baby lambs was an absolute joy!! (I had wanted to go down to Dingle to do it but didn’t manage). Overall, 100% recommend to anyone. The most beautiful places with some really lovely people :))

한줄요약:ㅍㅌㅊ I saw the brochure about this program in my hostel, and after checking other programs in online, I chose this one finally. Their programs are all good, like they give enough time and offer some recommendations, enough explains about place and history. Especially the guide Ian is super nice and kind. The one thing I was disappointed is that their sheep farm doesn't have any blacknose sheep. I saw its photo on brochure, and I was really looking forward to see them. But anyway for most people it isnt the issue. The group size was 31 people, today is 16 Dec. And bus has enough space, cozy, they play nice music in proper size.

The overall experience was amazing!! Loved the way our guide, Eoin carried it all the day. We enjoyed holding the baby sheep and walking on the streets of killkenny city.

We had a lovely trip to Glendalough, Wicklow mountains, watched a sheep dog work, and spend a couple hours in beautiful Kilkenny. Our wonderful driver was Marcin. Our guide, Ian, was absolutely charming, helpful and friendly!

He was just such a happy guy! Loved his tour and made the experience very enjoyable. The only thing is that we didn’t get any food until Kilkenny so we didn’t eat until 2:30. Other than that it was very enjoyable and I would recommend any other tour with him.

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.
