“Excellent, relaxing way to experience some of the west coast of Ireland in a day from Dublin. Better Irish music in the coach would've made it magical. Like Shane macgowan, Sinéad ó Conor, Damian rice etc rather than the Irish schlock on the playlist! Would also suggest the more information the guide gives the better.”

Funny, organized and polite. Just a wonderful job.”
