Had an enjoyable trip with my teenage daughter. The scenery was beautiful. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and humorous. The sheep farm was pretty and Kylemore Abbey was enjoyable for a short visit. All in all, the tour was a worthwhile trip. I’d recommend for anyone that is new to Ireland ...

Fantastic tour. I really liked the small group rather than a large one. Jennifer and Rob did such a great job! Jennifer gave lots of history as we drove and played good Irish music as well. Well worth the money!
