    Claire and Francis where super helpful, loved Claire's knowledge of history and tradition, plus sympathy. A day well spent, went with kids and they loved it. Totally recommend sticking with Claire to learn all the wonderful stories behind the amazing views.

    The tour itself was wonderful. The weather cooperated yesterday and left us with beautiful views of Wicklow mountains. The bus driver, Martin was very good at his job and very welcoming. Our guide Brian, was awesome! Very funny and informative. I truly wish the tour was longer as it seems like you have a long time to do and see but time flies. I recommend buying tickets to see Kilkenny Castle. I also recommend the fish and chips from a local seller a little further down from the castle in Kilkenny. They were well worth the 7. If you have the money, the shops across from the castle have great shopping, but again, only if you have money as the prices are quite high. If you are looking for cheap wool sweaters the small shops at the end of Glendalough tour has Amazing prices. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to get away from the city. Also if you are traveling with friends or family, try to board the bus at the very first stop as the bus does fill up quickly.

    Notre guide était très disponible et connaissant de l'histoire de l'Irlande et de la ville de Killkenny. Cette excursion est idéal en début de voyage pour s'initier à la culture irlandaise.

    The only thing I would wish for this trip is that more time would have been allowed at Glendalough and less time shopping at Kilkenny.

    A very enjoyable tour with a knowledgeable guide and excellent driver. The Wicklow Mountains seen essentially from the bus window as we drove by were nice, but for us the tour highlight was Glendalough. We chose to wander with our guide to hear his lectures about the area while some others in our group freely roamed on their own. The only disappointment was self-imposed since we didn't fully realize that the Kilkenny stop was simply a drop off and pick up. We assumed there would be some type of organized tour in Kilkenny but instead we were simply told where to meet the bus a few hours later. There is plenty to do in the town tour the castle, enjoy the Smithwicks experience, shop, but since we didn't develop a plan on our own we mostly wandered the town and ended up not having time to do anything specific.

    This was a beautiful tour with a great destination! Plenty of time in Kilkenny. Would have liked a little more time in Glendalough. Would have given it 5 stars if the tour guide wouldn't have given his personal religious views into his commentary.
