A Good, but Exhausting, Day Out

Published on May, 2025

This is a lovely tour but not for anyone who has mobility issues. There is a lot of walking, more than I anticipated. Paddy, our guide, was very good and kept an eye on me all through. He arranged a taxi from the castle back to the station for four people who would find the return walk a challenge. Nothing was too much trouble for him. A lovely man.

Our 2nd time on this tour!

Published on May, 2025

We were thrilled to spend the day with Paddy again - our guide with our daughter 7 years ago! Fantastic train ride with walking tour in Kilkenny and House of Waterford with my mother this time. A must-do experience!

Top notch tour! Thanks for the amazing history lessons and beautiful memories!

Published on Nov, 2024

What an amazing day!! Starting from the first train ride John Todd was absolutely wonderful. He told stories and gave us history lessons all along the way. We learned loads about this beautiful country with the ease and comfort of our own private guide. John was super helpful with taking our photo at each location. Thanks for capturing our memories!! This tour (and our guide) were top notch!!

Took Mom to Ireland

Published on Nov, 2024

We had done Ireland before without a guided tour and having a guided tour was so much better. We wanted our mother (in-law) to have a magical trip. John T was a very entertaining and informative guide. He kept us on a leisurely pace allowing us time to take plenty of photos while taking some group photos for us as well. John is very pleasant and kind, we would certainly take another tour with him.

Great tour with historical content as well as local experience!

Published on Sep, 2024

Paddy was the highlight of our trip!!! He made sure EVERYONE had what they needed, from taxi hires, to making sure everyone has access to facilities, and sharing history. The tour was really fantastic, the train ride was fun, would do another tour again some time!!!!
