Great experience!!
We were meant to take a trip to Ireland this summer but had to cancel. We took three of David's tours this week to see some of the sights we would have seen (and will hopefully see next year!). We were able to see all sorts of photos, videos and explore Google Earth with David explaining live what we were seeing and the history of the sites! David was an enthusiastic and kind tour guide with lots of stories to share. He is very knowledgeable and clearly enjoys talking about Ireland and meeting new people - he makes you feel like an old friend! Thank you, David! Jen and Natalie (and Anne, and Jane...)
Very enjoyable. Even though I’ve been to Ireland many times, David Long gives an accurate and knowledgeable tour of his beautiful country
