“We started this tour early in the morning and all was so well organised. We got on and off the bus very smoothly. The journey was long but not at all chaotic. Lovely places to visit and decent amount of time to spend on ones own. Our guide, Aoife was super helpful and even shared tips and offered to answer any questions we had on ireland in general. Daas was our driver and he was a very good driver and such a gentleman. Highly recommend.”
