    Kate was great....so knowledgeable and helpful. On the downside, the last 2 days were a bit disorganised in that there was a missing of lunch (that was not quite clear) and nothing much to do on the last day except walk around central Dublin but the time was not really long enough for a visit to the museum, art gallery, etc. Still overall, a great tour, a great driver and so well satisfied!! Would recommend to any of our friends who want a comprehensive coverage tour of Ireland....!!!

    This tour was an excellent intro to Ireland for those who have never been and even those in our larger group who have been said it was great. The stops were paced as just about the right length of time and we got to cover a lot of ground and see much of the country.
