Quiggs and Anil did a great job, My trip to Ireland was unforgettable—Galway’s charm and lively streets were amazing, and the Cliffs of Moher took my breath away with their beauty. I’d highly recommend both to anyone visiting Ireland!

Beautiful Tour, Fantastic Tour Guide!

We were given more than enough time to get off the ship to meet the tour guide. Conner was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide giving us so many little tidbits of information along the way and singing a few songs as well. We had plenty of time at the monastery and some time in the city.

Poorly organized

Little organized, without the right time to start, because, as we left the ship at the tender, the start of the excursion was scheduled for 9h, and may delay its start until 9:30/9.45. Some of us arrived early and had to wait for the others. Still, it wasn’t that bad because we started at 9:20, and the guide informed us that what he had done before was an hour later. In Glendalough, we combined a ride of 90 minutes, however, only two hours later we left for Dublin. Despite everything, the sympathy and talent to sing Irish songs, made this experience a satisfying experience.

Fun in Dublin!

Conor and Declin were wonderful! Thanks for a great time! Loved the singing and dancing by Conor and Declin’s driving was unbelievable! Bus was not good—microphone didn’t work and Conor had to sit in the middle so we could hear him.

Glendalough and Dublin with Conor

Conor was our exceptional guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and very well spoken. Our family of 4 enjoyed the day and learned so much. He gave us plenty of time to wander off and do what we wanted to do or to hang out with him. We chose to hang out with him because he never ran out of interesting things to talk about. Glendalough was a fabulous place to visit. We would have liked to have had more time in Dublin, but because it was raining, we just did a drive through the city. I loved the opportunity to see the highlights and learn more about Ireland through the life of an Irish guy. We would highly recommend this tour, especially with Conor. Thanks for a great day, Conor!
