Barry was excellent! The bus was comfortable and clean and had plenty of stops. Good mix of narration and guiding while driving, but also some quiet time between stops. A full day but not information overload between the sites and loved all three places. Highly recommend

A long day but a fun one. It was nice to take a tour which displayed more of the Emerald in this isle. Phil was a great tour guide and really made this long day enjoyable. I certainly didn’t know Ireland had so many castles but learnt some fascinating information along the way.

Sorry to say, but the guide was horrible. I don’t know his name because he did not introduce himself or the driver. The driver did a great job, getting us very safely to all of the stops. Back to the guide. He refused to give info about Dublin when we left in the morning, “too early, no one would listen”, when a lady asked. He did point out a few things. When we stopped at Rock of Cashan which was cool, no guidance- just started walking up the hill! Never while in the van did he give any information. He did put on his playlist that included some Irish music, but also some rap junk that had F-bombs and worse! For 3 hours we listened to this. I tried to convey my displeasure but he ignored it.. If you want the BEST, book Finn McCoole. Our guide Rachel to the Cliffs of Moher was FABULOUS! Blarney Castle was great. Would like to go there when warmer. Those old castles are dark, dank, COLD!

The Rock of Cashel, Cahir, and Blarney Castles were great. Hazel, the guide at Cahir was great and we learned much about castle defenses. Unfortunately our Irish Day Tour guide was lacking in providing any insight. Another tour with 5+ hours spent on a small bus where he had the opportunity to enlighten us about the areas passing through, etc. On our return trip he played his eclectic personal mix of Irish music that included offensive lyrics.

We were scheduled for this tour, but it was cancelled the day prior. We rescheduled for Giants Causeway and Titanic Belfast and Dark Hedges. Adrian was our guide and did a good job. My only feedback is that we should have had tickets to the visitors center at Giants Causeway. It was windy and cold and no place to go. Adrian left with the van. We couldn’t even get in the visitors center to get a cup of coffee. Should have been at least briefed or we should have been provided a ticket to the visitors center. Would have also preferred time in Belfast rather than Dark Hedges. Your description of the tour says we’ll spend time in Belfast, not just drive through.
