    This was a great tour! Our guide, Marlene, was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the places we visited and had an incredible grasp on the history of Ireland. She went out of her way to make sure that everyone had a fantastic trip. We also had nice group dynamics. I was surprised at how many places we were able to visit.
