We joined the Connemara tour and had a fantastic experience. Paddy was an outstanding guide — full of knowledge, fun facts, and local stories. He shared tips on Galway, and even taught us a few words in Irish. He was engaging and entertaining from start to finish. A big thanks also to Emer, who drove us safely and added her own warmth and friendliness to the journey. Together they made the tour m...

Alan was an amazing tour guide! He was very high energy the whole time, it was full of life, and gave us amazing tips. He was very on time, and he made everybody feel special and safe. I would trust him with my life and I would definitely go on a tour with him again. Please view my pictures below. Alan gave me all of the nice places to go and take these pictures!

Highlight of our Trip to Ireland. The cliffs of Mohr brought me to tears. Alan was a wonderful tour guide and an exceptional driver. He had us laughing and learning with interesting facts and important history. He was kind and helpful and… I didn’t have to drive these harrowing roads. I could relax and enjoy the beautiful, Wild Atlantic Way. Couldn’t recommend enough.

First off Paddy is a 10/10 tour guide, give him a raise right now. Kept everything on track (we never ran behind schedule!), gave super intriguing stories and histories for each site, and brought a witty and upbeat atmosphere to a super low-energy tour group. I’ve never had a better tour guide experience on any vacation in my entire life. Just as important, Paul, our driver, did a flawless job kee...
