Customer Reviews
This tour was absolutely fantastic. Jonathan was an excellent guide/driver. We’ve been on many day trips in many countries and this was the best because of Jonathan. His commentary was informative and very interesting. His passion shone through. On top of everything he sang three beautiful Irish songs for the bus! He even taught the bus the chorus for one and had the whole bus singing along. It was absolutely awesome.
If you are going to do any tour out of Dublin, the Celtic Boyne tour is the one I recommend. This was the best tour I have done, I feel like I got to see the best of Ireland today. The host Colin was just incredible, made our day so much fun and so interesting. Thank you Colin for an amazing day.
Long day driving through the Irish countryside to see the incredible cliffs of Moher and visit Galway. Our driver Colin was excellent and provided a wonderful historical recounting of Ireland and the Irish people. If you have the time, I recommend this tour.
