We saw a lot in one day. Our guide drove and gave great commentry. Loved the choice of Irish music and explained the songs. Would have liked to have been given a second option for lunch, would have appreciated if our guide had also pointed out the nearby Cafe. Instead of paying separately for each entry ticket would have saved time if this was built into the price. The timing of each site was really good, perhaps an additional 15 minutes at skellig would have been better.
Such a great experience - wonderful views, Denis our guide was very knowledgeable and we loved the music played on the journey between sites!
It was an incredible experience the guide was funny and knowledgeable, took us to a lot of places, even had time to sneak in a photo shoot or two nor originally scheduled and going through him was safer than driving myself on the left.
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re delighted that your guide took great care of you, shared some laughs, and helped capture those bonus photo moments while keeping your journey stress-free. It was a pleasure hosting you!
This was an outstanding day on our Ireland vacation. Darron was our guide and he made the day extra special. His knowledge of both the area history but of Irelands culture was captivating. In my opinion, after having driven some of these roads, we had the best guide possible and this was a terrific way to see the area. Irelands natural beauty are truly amplified by a well run tour. Darron is the best and we feel fortunate to have had him as our guide. Thank you Darren and Deros for an unforgettable experience. The Kelleys

We saw a lot of phenomenal sights, as well as learned so much of this beautiful country's history. Thank you Darren! Cassie & John M. Littleton, Colorado
