Our tour guide was fantastic - so knowledgeable & hails from County Kildare! Lots of stories - not like someone who has memorized a script - would definitely recommend to others to book with Collin tours!

Unexpected beauty and a lovely day out. Our guide (Phil) was great, he had so much local and historic knowledge and our driver (Liam) made sure we were in safe hands.
All in all - well worth the trip!
Spent my last day in Ireland on this tour and it was well worth it. Blessed with sunny and warm weather. Really beautiful and peaceful views at the Glendalough Monastery and adjoining lakes. The drive up through the mountains was beautiful. The Wicklow gap was also well worth a stop for photos. Kilkenny was a very nice town - I personally did not join the guided tour nor pay for a visit of the interior of the castle. Instead, I walked around the old town, stopped for a pint, and visited the gardens across from the Castle. Personally, I could've done with a bit less time in Kilkenny in exchange for more free time around the monastery and lakes.
My guide Brian was kind, funny, and informative. Really did a great job bringing the scenery to life. Bridget, our driver, made sure the drive was smooth, especially through the windy, narrow, mountain roads.
The bus was quite comfortable and modern with ample legroom. They advertise wifi, however my phone couldn't find any network. I wasn't planning to be on my phone much but seeing as it was my last day in Ireland I had hoped to complete my check-in for my flight home on the bus. Aside from this minor drawback, this was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend.
Hugh, our tour guide and William, our driver were both outstanding. Hugh narrated the tour as if it was a television production. We later learned he worked in broadcasting. Kilkenny was such a charming town and made us want to come back. Great day in the countryside!
Pat our guide was fabulous, so knowledgeable and a good sense of humour, he really went the extra mile in ensuring we had a great trip. My 13 year old son also loved it! Thanks also to Arnes our bus driver, some of those roads were narrow and you navigated them very well!
Pat was a fantastic guide and he added so much value to the day with his elegant and informative words. Also, Arnes was a great driver and we felt very safe while traveling
