Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Please let me explain. Kate has a lot of knowledge about Ireland. So be prepared and open to amount information that is available. Howth was a full day and a great experience. Going to visit the east coast and the small village of Howth was a great kickstart to an Irish vacation. Kate’s pre-pre trip communication was very helpful and accurate. Overall…Before…During…and after…Kate made the the trip exceptional. "
"Kate is a true local gem. We were lucky to be able to hire her to create a personalized experience for our 6-person group of family and friends. She took time to understand our priorities and hopes. The key, indeed, to creating a great experience. Her kind and thoughtful personality allowed her to blend right into our group. We all agree we would not hesitate to recommend her to others and we hope to reconnect with her next spring. Melissa, Rowan, Lily, Livia, Heidi and Kathy"
"Our trip through Wicklow couldn’t have been better. Kate listened to our requests and made sure we had the best experience. The day was spectacular. Kate was knowledgeable about the history of the towns and areas we visited. Our group varied in age and she made it engaging and interesting for a teenager. I want to thank her for making our trip special and a memory we will cherish forever."
"Marius was a very good host, who showed us places we would've never thought to see. Absolutely kind and informative. Very chill experience we would happily book again. Thank you."

"Marius was an excellent tour guide! We did the main objective of the trip - Cliffs of Moher - but aside from that he customized the rest of the day trip to what interested us. We love nature and going off the beaten path so he took us to some hidden gems. But whether your interest is shopping, culture, nature, you name it - he has options for you! And don't let his non-native Irish heritage detour you - he knows so much about the history and culture and could answer all the questions we asked. He knows all the nooks and crannies of Ireland and impressed us all with the places he took us. He has so many tour options whether you have only 3 hours or several days- he will take you anywhere and do anything whether it's a family trip, friends or more. He was professional, prompt, personable & friendly. Would LOVE to have Marius take us around again!"
"We selected Kate because her reviews sounded like we were a good fit. From the moment we met Kate we knew it was going to be a grand day. We loved looking coastal towns and seeing the cold swimmers at forty foot ! The mountains and scenery was fantastic as was our conversation all day! We highly recommend Kate. She is personable , intuitive , humorous and knowledgeable! "
"While waiting for train to Howth , Kate asked us what we each were looking for in the tour. My husband loves history and I enjoy architecture and gardening. Kate made sure to include those items and more. I am hearing impaired and I had no trouble hearing or understanding her. Our tour was very fun and we learned a great deal. She was very attentive and caring about us as we walked along. Before leaving at the end of the tour, she let us know about some very good restaurants in the area, which we took full advantage of. Finally, Kate invited us to text or email her with any questions for the remainder of our time in Ireland. "
"Kate was very good at tailoring the tour to our pace and interests and we ha a beautiful, informative and relaxing day."
"This was our first time using WithLocals. It was recommended to us by a co-worker who had a great experience in Isreal. This was also our first time booking private tours instead of sitting in the back of a tour bus! OMG! So much better and so worth it! We originally booked a day trip to the Cliffs of Mohr. However, communication with our tour guide, Marius, in the days prior to our arrival, we soon realized that, due to our cruise port, we would have spent 3 hours one-way in the car to see the epic cliffs and not much else. We were maily interested in seeing the beatiful scenery of Ireland. So, Maruis suggested (and created) a completely custom itinerary that crammed so many amazing places into our tour. I am so glad he suggested the alternative. We were at Powerscourt Gardens when they opened and literally had the enourmous space to ourselves. We spent time at Powerscourt Waterfall, Glendalough, Glenmackness Waterfall, Guinness Lake and picked wild blueberries in the Wiklow Mountains at the very bridge that was used in the film P.S. I Love You! Marius, thoughtfully emptied a small plastic tub of gum into a napkin so that we had something to put the blueberries in. And they were amazing on our pancakes the next morning on the ship! He took us to the Heather Wicklow Restaurant where we treated him to lunch (Best Corned Beef I've ever had). Maruis was so genuine and fun to be with that he became an instant friend that we hope to stay in contact with. We did 8 tours over the twelve days we were in the British Isles and our time with Maruis was hands-down one of our favorites! "
"Marius was great. Very friendly. Very willing to adjust things for our likes. However it is a very very long drive to get to the Cliffs ( close to 4 hours) so once there you have very little time to see anything. With only 8 hours booked for this tour your actual time at the Cliffs is very short ( 45 minutes). The scenery along the way is quite beautiful there and back. And as I said Marius was wonderful If you have but one day to leave Dublin and see something more of Ireland ask Marius to recommend a different trip unless you are really set on seeing the Cliffs "
