      Knowledgeable, friendly and fun

      "Derek met us in the lobby of our hotel right on time. He had the train tickets and took us through the darling town of Howth and we had a lovely lunch and then embarked on a spectacular walk/hike around the coast up in the glorious hills. It was picturesque and Derek pointed out all of the important, historic and relevant spots, including flora and fauna. I would highly recommend Derek, he has high energy and is very knowledgeable. Thank you for making the day so wonderful!!"

      Outstanding service

      "Our trip from Dublin to Giants Causeway was an all day journey. It's a three hour drive each way and William (Liam) was the perfect host. He was very engaging, knew a lot of history so he was able to answer all our questions. He was able to tailor the tour to our specific requests. We thoroughly enjoy the whole day, there was so much to see and do. "

      Be Prepared

      "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"

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."

      Our best day in Ireland!

      "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!"

      Memorable Wicklow Mountains Day with Kate!

      "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! "
