Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Helena was excellent. She was one of the best guides we’ve ever had! Great explanations, great sense of humor and extremely knowledgeable. Very warm, friendly and endearing. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their guide.

    We were a group of 4 mid 60's. Ian was our guide and Marco our driver. On time very friendly and knowledgable. This was our favourite tour. Kilkenny and Wicklow were very good but favourite was the Glendalough sheep farm. It was amazing. Strongly suggest.

    Ed was great! He is so knowledgeable and has fabulous energy. After only one introduction, he remembered all our names (6 of us) where we are from, and any special interests each one of us expressed.
    For a very personal and expert tour, ask for Ed.

    Not only was this an awesome trip but the driver and the tour operator, Irish Day Tours, were wonderful. The cliffs are beautiful, definitely a must see. They have golf carts running from the visitor center up to the top for those with mobility issues. We had a brief stop at the Burren. It’s a cool place but a brief stop is all you need. Lunch was at a wonderful pub in Doolin. Finally we did some shopping in Galway. It was a long day but there were sufficient stops for rest room breaks. The driver, Finn, was informative, fun and very helpful with our stroller. I had car seat questions for Irish Day Tours and they were quick to get back to me with answers.

    Jack is an amazing narrator and story teller. I had the pleasure of doing several of his walking tours and I could not be happier that he included some of tours to do when we can like this! He is absolutely brilliant and have a way to capture history and make it fascinating. He draws you in and makes story come alive. I will definitely be doing the others tours as well!

    The tour was mostly as advertised. I would recommend that tour guide should have: Notified us before hand that there was an entry fee for the visitor center and should have recommended the 2 available trails for us to take that were well -marked. Instead she gave multiple warnings about "going into the forest", where, in fact, the trails were.

    Itinerary was well presented. The slides/QR code was a big plus. Many of the passengers had bathroom issues; however, so maybe consider longer or additional stops for breaks. Sone passengers were enraged that the final drop off spot was not the same as the morning pickup. Not a big deal but maybe highlight the fact in the morning, despite the info being clearly communicated on the tour description. Krishna was a delight. Una shared her childhood experiences - lived it.

    It was a great trip. All of the stops were very cool and our guide gave us plenty of time at each of them. It was a particularly busy day at Blarney Castle so the guide gave us extra time there.
