Mac was an awesome tour guide for the tour. Very informative, great stories and great songs. Not lacking a sense of humor, he made the experience very enjoyable. We got lucky with weather, so it was a great tour.
Pat and Alec were fantastic! The trip was so well organized, which made everything run smoothly. Pat is an incredible tour guide — he explains everything like a true storyteller, with rich detail that really brings the history to life. Highly recommend booking with them!
This is the best trip experience I’ve ever had and will keep this in memory treasured. Pat is so energetic even at this this age 😅 a lot young people must learn so much from him. A man stand so strong on history and expression. I couldn’t admire him enough. Alec and Pat makes a good team. Alec drove with safety. It was such a safe and fun trip I can’t just stop talking about it. Pat has my highest recommendation. Collins coach are lucky have them. Peace ✌🏻
The amazing experience with Collins Coach day tour from Dublin to glandelaugh to Kilkenny. Pat our tour guide in this journey was amazing he has so much knowledge about the places and the Irish history and culture that you would want to keep listening stories from Pat. He is very kind and professional and very well behaved. I would highly recommend to book a day tour from Dublin city to Kilkenny and don’t forget to say hi to pat when you see him. He will become your best friend on the trip.
We had an absolutely wonderful day on the Dublin to Glendalough, Wicklow and Kilkenny Full Day Guided Tour and a huge part of that was our guide, Pat(pic below). At 75 years young, Pat has an incredible energy and enthusiasm that is truly inspiring. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories and historical facts throughout the journey but what made it even better was his wonderful sense of humour. He explained everything so clearly that everyone could easily understand and enjoy the experience. Pat’s passion for Ireland, its history and its people was evident in every stop we made. He was patient, considerate and always happy to answer every question with a smile. He made sure everyone was comfortable he kept the tour well organised and created a friendly atmosphere that made the entire day memorable. Travelling with my son made this trip even more special and thanks to Pat, we came away with beautiful memories and a much deeper appreciation of Glendalough, Wicklow and Kilkenny. Thank you Pat for your warmth, professionalism and dedication. You truly love what you do and it shows. A special thanks to Alec our wonderful driver. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ireland!
It was an incredible tour ! Pat (the guide) was very interesting but also funny and kind. The landscapes are wonderful !
We travelled as a family of 8 and we have a mixed feeling because as a family we had fun but initial experience was not great. The only reason I am giving a lower rating is that in the website they have mentioned no seat reservation and it’s only first cum first serve basis, however we were the first ones to arrive but the guide made us go back for no reason, I somehow feel it was because we were Indians and not Europeans hence treated differently. The guide was good and he explained well.
We had a nuce experience. Our guide Elisa and Briget, the driver, were kind and very helpful. Elisa is amazing as guide, she has given us cultural, historical explanation and a lot of fun fact. It wasn't boring at all. We felt very comfortable with Bridget who's a nice person and a great driver. I'll recommend this team. And of course, the program was great. We had a nice visit of each place, who were gorgeous;)
Full of energy guide Evelin and Beatrice master of wheels in narrow mountains made this trip a wonderful experience. All points of the tour were on time not too long not too short for a good price. I was a pleasant ride with lots of laughs bus was full but not crowded.
A great trip with Pat and the driver Sir Alec, who gave us an excellent engaging tour with lots of history about religion and culture of Ireland, very friendly and nice trip that took good care of us and our Indian family who were visiting Dublin, Sheridan and Uma
