Patrick Gleeson was an awesome guide and was so knowledgable about every site we visited. The only thing that could have been better was the weather. We viewed so many beautiful places it was amazing.
Delighted to hear you enjoyed seeing so many beautiful places. Patrick will be chuffed to know his knowledge helped bring each stop to life. As for the weather... if only we could organise that too!
Amazing tour, I wish there were more than 5 stars. Easy meeting once tendered in port. Our drive, Greg, is the best! We had a great time. Greg asked a lot of questions about what we wanted to do and see and made special stops to accommodate. We had a delicious lunch at a cozy pub, a special extra stop to see a working sheep dog; a lovely drive along the coast and the stop at Guiness Lake was stunning. Very comfortable car, wonderful conversation and just a wonderful day. Best tour of the cruise and probably the best of all tours in our history of traveling. Thank you Tony and Greg for an amazing day.

It was a very interesting and beautiful tour. We had only short journey times, stopped at many sights. Ashley entertained us with his music, a very sympathetic, competent and nice guide. We can also recommend the as a family. 👍👍
Vielen Dank für eure tolle Rückmeldung! Schön zu hören, dass die kurzen Fahrzeiten und vielen Stopps den Tag so angenehm gemacht haben. Ashley wird sich freuen, dass seine Musik und seine Art so gut angekommen sind. Besonders schön, dass ihr die Tour auch als Familie weiterempfehlen könnt
First, the Patrick guide is exceptional, never seen a guide so involved (what a singer)!!! And yet as a Frenchman I didn't understand everything. Second, please, Patrick spends almost 10 hours with us so friends visitors let him tip that's the least. Essentials of this region in one day. It's just perfect.
Merci infiniment pour ce message plein d’énergie ! Patrick va adorer lire ça — surtout la partie sur le chanteur 😉 On apprécie aussi votre reconnaissance pour l’implication qu’il met dans chaque journée. Dix heures, ça passe vite quand l’ambiance est bonne !
