4 of us visited Bunratty Castle and Folk Park on Monday 29th. September 2020 and it was wonderful. My Wife and I have been here many times but for my Niece and her Partner, it was their first time, as Adults. Our visit to the cottages - on our way to the castle, gave a realistic perceptive on how the Irish lived in times gone by. Then to the Castle - proudly standing since the 15th. Century-and greeted by Chris, in period costume, who gave a comprehensive and beautifully voiced history of the Castle. Then up the spiral staircase to the Great Hall - with all its 15th. Century artefacts - and greeted by Anja-in period costume too, who gave us the history of that part of the castle. Finally we toured the Folk Park and Village and encountered donkies, pigs, Irish Wolfhounds and most of all - hand sanitizers, one way systems etc-safety during this pandemic. Thank you Pauline, Aileen, Michael, Aodhán, Anja and Chris for a most memorable day. Míle Buíochas

Jay and his team were excellent during our recent trip to Ireland. We were a group of 16 with 4 children and used their services for our trips to and from the airport and also to and from Trinity hotel for our daughters wedding. They were on time, helpful and a lot of fun. Despite the city closing down they remained available to us for any questions and concerns. Highly recommend their services.

Alan was the best tour guide from our entire month long trip around Europe, Germany and Ireland. This was by far one of my most favorite days from our trip. Alan had so much knowledge and told us many Irish stories and tales. Alan made the extra effort to find and stop at the best places so I could take pictures with my nice camera I brought. Alan is very funny and entertaining. Please book a tour with him because his tour will be one of the highlights of your trip. We not only had an amazing time with Alan but we saw some amazing sights along the way. We only wish we could have spent more time in Ireland with Alan touring us around! I had so many pictures from that day here are a few on my favorites but even the pictures dont do a justice!

I loved these tours. Took them back in April of 2019. The first tour I took was a walking tour of Dublin. Ciaran was the tour guide. He was a total history buff and made the tour super interesting. The next day I went on a tour to a seaside village called Howth. I had a tour guide named Stephen. He was very cool and even preformed Shakespeare in the woods for his group. I hope to take these tours again one day.
