“We usually take private tours with our family. This time there are only 2 of us so we take the semi-private tours with Viator and find it very nice. Traveling in a mini-van with just a few more folks gets us around quickly everywhere. We loved the Blarney castle visit and the Jameson's experience was exceptional. We do not drink but enjoy the distillery knowledge and even bought the Jameson sweatshirt.”

He helped us arrange the day with clear communication prior to our trip. He gave us spot-on suggestions, and kept us on schedule so that we could see all that we had planned.

“Kieran was a great tour guide! We had a lovely day with him. It was a very cold rainy day and he provided umbrellas and tried his best to do drop offs and pick ups to avoid as much of it as we could. Also gave great restaurant recommendations and was overall just a very pleasant person to spend the day with!”

“Terrific! Highly recommend. Very knowledgeable, kind and attentive. Sean was punctual, even followed up before the excursion to cater to our specific needs and wants. Has some musical interplay that is appropriate but not overbearing. Trust me, if you book with Sean, you won’t be disappointed. He also recommended a pub where we had a night we will not soon forget!”
