The high score is more than deserved.. apart from some communication issues with the booking (they should send a text message instead of calling) for the confirmation because I was at a concert and couldn't respond.. I almost missed the tour. But other than that the day was made up for in a big way. Our driver Marcel (I'm not sure if it's spelled like that) was very cheerful and kind. An excellent guide, he made us feel safe. Our guide Steven was the best. He was truly very nice. Kind and he really engaged us with his passion for history. Very willing to listen to our needs. He was an angel. I highly recommend this trip. The place was stunning. Magical. No disappointments. I will definitely return to Dublin and book another adventure :)

We did the Kilkenny, Wicklow Mountains & Glendalough tour today with Wild Rover Tours, and we enjoyed it so much! Our favorite part was the sheep farm - watching the sheepdog Spot gather the sheep was amazing and really fun to see. Our guide John was outstanding. He has a great sense of humor, explained everything clearly, and made the whole day interesting. He also had a very personal approach to each of us. And our driver Pete did an incredible job on the Irish roads - so smooth and confident, it was impressive. Thank you for a wonderful day! We would definitely recommend this tour to others.

Our trip with Wild Rover Tours to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway City was great and I would recommend it to anybody. JP our driver was quiet but Dave our guide made up for it. Dave was entertaining and gave us a good bit of information and history all along the way and JP got us around timely and safely. A special shout out to Stephen for getting me out of a pickle!
