5.00Patrick Gleeson was an awesome guide and was so knowledgable about every site we visited. The only thing that could have been better was the weather. We viewed so many beautiful places it was amazing.
Best tour ever!

5.00Amazing tour, I wish there were more than 5 stars. Easy meeting once tendered in port. Our drive, Greg, is the best! We had a great time. Greg asked a lot of questions about what we wanted to do and see and made special stops to accommodate. We had a delicious lunch at a cozy pub, a special extra stop to see a working sheep dog; a lovely drive along the coast and the stop at Guiness Lake was stunning. Very comfortable car, wonderful conversation and just a wonderful day. Best tour of the cruise and probably the best of all tours in our history of traveling. Thank you Tony and Greg for an amazing day.
You want regret it with Patrick as your guide

5.00First, the Patrick guide is exceptional, never seen a guide so involved (what a singer)!!! And yet as a Frenchman I didn't understand everything. Second, please, Patrick spends almost 10 hours with us so friends visitors let him tip that's the least. Essentials of this region in one day. It's just perfect.
