This was our second tour with Batt as our tour guide and he was knowledgeable and kind. On the Dingle Penninsula there were many opportunities to stop and take pictures of the beautiful scenery, get a snack and go to the bathroom.
Lovely, calm way to see West Ireland. Our driver and guide, Sheila, was delightful. She sang and told jokes the entire way. You get the sense that she loves her job.
Lovely day seeing so many sites! I especially loved holding the baby lamb. Batt was great and stopped off for many photo spots.
Sheila was an extraordinary guide providing historical narrative, background and entertainment. The views were excellent and as described in the promotional info. Small towns that we visited were good choices. Overall a very good trip.
