FANTASTIC!!!
P5286GAalfredg, October 2026
Aside from the poor weather at the cliffs what we were able to see was spectacular. Tommy was our driver and guide and he was the best. He talked about history, culture and everything Irish. He was extremely knowledgeable and funny. He made the gloomy day more enjoyable. He was very skilled at driving the bus on some very narrow roads and was always keeping the safety of his passengers his main priority.
If you book this tour, which I highly recommend, you may be fortunate enough to get Tommy.
If he stops at the same place we did for lunch make sure you get the cabbage and bacon. DEEEEElisious.
Cheers

Anupam_H, October 2026
Gary was funny and experienced. We felt completely safe and knowledgable at every stop. He was clear with the timetable and we left and came back exactly as scheduled. Impressive to keep such a long tour humming so smoothly but he managed it with ease. Would 100% recommend.
