My husband and I went to Dublin on an extended weekend getaway without the children. We experienced many of the fun things the city has to offer but we especially enjoyed getting out of the bustle into the amazing scenery that I always think of when I imagine Ireland. As another reviewer mentioned, Ed was fantastic. (To update, they have... More

We booked the Over the Top Wicklow Tour for my partner, me and our four and a half year old. This tour really was far and beyond what we expected. Our guide Tommy was so informative, kind hearted and fun! The views of the Wicklow region, the Glendaloch monastery, the lakes and then coastline on the way home were absolutely... More

We had Minnis I think his name was, a kindly older gentleman as our tour guide. He was so great, we sat right up front with him and asked him dozens of questions. He takes you to many beautiful sites, and lets you get out to take photos if you desire. It was freezing cold and windy but we still... More

We absolutely loved Over the Top Tours to Wickloe. The small bus was wonderful. I own a travel agency and do many tours with groups including the 35 that came to Dublin. The small bus is THE way to tour. Dennis the driver was very knowledgeable and helpful. We were so please that I recommended the tour to others in... More

This was the best tour we have ever been on. It has to be said - the bus (small red mini van with just 10 people on a 16-seater) was perfect, the guide was amazing, accommodating, flexible, knowledgable, Irish and funny to boot. Even though it was lashing rain we could not have enjoyed a tour more. Tommy went out... More

I used Over-The-Top Tours to go to Newgrange/Knowth in May of 2010 and again for the day tour they offer of Wicklow/Glendalough. As an avid Wolfhound Adv. Tours type, it is hard to find another tour company that fits the bill. I am admittedly spoiled! However, so far, Over-The-Top has come the closest. Olwyn, the owner?/operator of the company is...

For the Emerald Princess transatlantic cruise I arranged a tour with Olwyn at Over the top tours. Initially, I had some difficulty getting a response and found out she was having e-mail issues. After that was corrected, everything went smoothly on her part. We did have to rearrange tours after the ship port schedule was shortened. I arranged for 28... More

We had a group of 16 going from the Balls Bridge area to the Wicklow Mountains. The driver was early, picked us up at our hotel, and gave us an outstanding trip. His name was Dennis and I don't think you could ever do better. We had a great lunch and a wonderful time. He gave us options on what... More

I selected this group for the Wicklow / Glendalough day tour because of the raving reviews on trip advisor. Because of these following reasons I don't consider it a good tour: - There was 1 seat left in our bus and after 45 minutes on our way out the driver / guide was told to go back and pick up... More

Many thanks for writing your review and I have to say I am surprised at the review you gave our guide as all of our guides are with us for the last 10/15 years and have only had good reviews on their guiding skills. We had to turn back for the single person who was very upset at missing the... More
