Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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."
"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! "
"We couldn't be happier with the day we spent on private tour with Marius. He paid attention to every detail and delivered outstanding service. Everything was tailored to our exact personal interests and we got to do and see the things we wanted to on our tour. Loved the walking trails in the area around Wicklow Mountain. Beautiful countryside and if you're looking to spend time away from the busy city, this is a wonderful experience."
"It was the best to pick Kate for this one day trip into Dublin nature... what a super nice and bright and empathic and grounded Woman Kate is.!!👍😃❤️We had the best discussions about history, politics of Ireland and various sights on way of life... thank you so much Kate, we will for sure show up again in Dublin and are looking forward to spend more time with her. It was the most wonderful experience to pick Kate as a local . All the best and love .. The Swiss family Claudia, Christian, Alexia and Simon"

"Kate was an extraordinary resource for my recent trip to Ireland. During the planning stage, her suggestions and tips were very helpful in planning out my days. On the trip itself, I truly benefited from her encyclopedic knowledge of both Irish history and her understanding (and explaining) of current events. She was a wonderful guide: companionable, flexible, attentive, on time and well-prepared. I left Ireland with a far deeper understanding and appreciation of the country and its heritage, and also know I made a new friend! Kate is a wonderful guide, and I highly recommend her."
"Aoife assisted me on a French speaking coach tour recently and was a great asset. Her sweeping knowledge of Irish history, politics and mythology was impressive and her ability to switch from English to French an invaluable asset. Her anecdotes and fun facts were very entertaining."
"Thank you Kate for the beautiful tour. Angelina and Patrick"
"Marius is super easy to talk to and a pleasure to spend the day with. He constructed a day which included waterfalls, the Wicklow Mountains, some foraging, the Monastic settlement of St Kevin and so many beautiful sights! I couldnt have asked for more! Marius gave me both history and anecdotes for the area. He even went out of his way (at tour's end) to bring me to a beach as I hadn't yet been to one! I would definitely recommend Marius for your tour."
"Kate is a wonderful guide, warm and funny with an encyclopedic knowledge of all things Irish. Great company, she was considerate of our needs, and she made the history of Glendalough come alive with her witty insights and wry asides on modern Ireland. Her tour was the highlight of our trip, and we will definitely be back for more. Highly recommended. Eamonn Farrell"
