A beautiful distillery
Today I visited Fore Distillery in county Westmeath. What a wonderful experience and thanks to Willie, Sheena and Leah for the welcome the tour and the cuppa. Their commitment and passion is palpable. Never realised there was such history around the village and what a great way to spend a morning - a shot of whiskey in the distillery a walk around the 3 km loop and back for a sandwich in the cafe. The distillery and visitor centre are second to none. Their own first whiskey comes to the market last week October but in the meantime I enjoyed their rum and liqueur offering. I will be back and in the meantime wish them continued success

Great and informative walking tour of many of the highlights of Dublin.
All these places are within walking distance, but it was nice having Sean as our guide because not only were we able to skip the long lines but also he gave us bits of history and also stories about different places that we wouldn’t have heard if we were just walking without a guide.

Newgrange & Boyne Valley Private Tour: Travel Through 5,000 Years

Perfect guide and a truly memorable trip :)
Owen accompanied me and my mother on a trip to discover the Boyne Valley and he was the absolute perfect companion. Not only was the journey exceptionally comfortable, but it was also made even better by our wonderful, engaging conversations on a wide variety of topics. It was such a pleasure to chat and exchange perspectives with him. On top of that, Owen went above and beyond by kindly providing us with admission tickets to Newgrange burial site. If you are looking for a relaxing, warm and well-organized excursion with a fantastic guide, Owen is the best choice.

Fantastic Private Tour of Newgrange and the Boyne Valley!
My wife and I had a fantastic experience touring Newgrange and the Boyne Valley with Owen. He was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and had a great sense of humor that made the entire day both informative and entertaining. What we especially appreciated was his flexibility. He customized our itinerary based on the time we had available and the weather, making sure we got the most out of our day without ever feeling rushed. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend Owen to anyone visiting the area. We'd absolutely book another tour with him when we return to Ireland!

Truly memorable and fun!
I loved my two hours with Damian. It was the tour I didn't know I needed because he brought me through different neighborhoods than I had been in on my own and he showed me so much about Dublin that I didn't have on my list to explore.It was just he and I, so we were able to navigate the crowded streets and get where we wanted to go. When you can hustle, you can see more. Remember, Dublin is crowded.I loved that he played music for me as we talked about why I was there to begin with- music. He brought me through parks, showed me a historic hotel for Handel and where Bram Stoker lived and was married. We walked through Temple Bar and popped in the actual bar for a quick restroom break, but seeing Temple Bar as a neighborhood rather than a bar itself, was enlightening- I didn't understand the history of the space.I learned about the Viking and Roman history in Dublin and why roads and neighborhoods are named as they are. I absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it.I also loved that I looked UP a lot, which allowed for him to learn new things with me for future tours.

Excellent experience!
Our walking tour with Conor was excellent! He arranged to meet us at our hotel where we sat down to review a city map and his planned itinerary. As we already have another tour to visit St. Patrick’s and Trinity College, he arranged the tour to show us some lesser known points of interest. He also was very accommodating in taking photos and then sending us a link with our route and photos captioned with locations.He was very entertaining - sang us a few Irish songs and even demonstrated a dance step with my hubby. All in all a wonderful and enjoyable three hours!

A Wonderful Trip from Start to Finish!
We had such a wonderful trip, and so much of that was thanks to our incredible tour guide Stephen. He was insightful, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating history, great inside stories, and even leading us in a few sing-alongs along the way!Traveling with a group of 10 people can easily become stressful when trying to figure out what to see, where to go, and what to do each day, but he took all of that stress away. Everything was so thoughtfully planned, with the perfect mix of activities that were fun and interesting for all ages, while still leaving us free time to relax and enjoy the evenings on our own. He was also flexible to add a stop in for us so we could have an evening with our Irish relatives.His local knowledge really helped us experience the destinations beyond the typical tourist stops.Overall, it was an amazing trip filled with great experiences, lots of laughs, and wonderful memories. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better way to experience the trip. Highly recommend!

Knowledgeable and engaging tour guide
We just completed a four-day tour of Galway and environs with Derek Spillane of Wild About Ireland Tours. We told him of our interests and Derek fashioned an itinerary that met our requests and then some. There the popular sites, like the Cliffs of Moher, but also lesser-visited places like Thoor Ballylee (Yeats’s summer home), hedge tombs in the Burren and the Michael Davitt Museum that we wouldn’t have otherwise seen but were just terrific. Derek is extremely knowledgeable. His passion and love for the area came through. Highly recommended.

Ciaran was a fabulous tour guide. Though we had an itinerary, he asked questions and modified stops based on our interests. He was very knowledgeable and shared information that pertained to our interests. He was very flexible with us when we spent a little too much time at a stop. Would absolutely recommend this tour to see the beautiful countryside, visit port towns, cliffs and castles. 5 star tour.

Derek was a wonderful guide! Derek was an excellent communicator, and helped me plan the best route for what we were looking for on our journey between Roosaveel and Dublin. Very knowledgable and friendly, Derek provided us detailed context and history to each of the sites we visited and gave us plenty of time to explore.

Fantastic Day with Owen at Newgrange Day Tours
We booked a day trip from Dublin for me, my wife, and 15 year old son with Owen and the whole thing was fantastic. Booking was simple, pick up was smooth, the tour was fun and really insightful, and Owen was fabulous. It is rare to find a guide who can so seamlessly talk to and make relevant all things to all people and Owen is one of those people. A great experience that we would recommend to any and everyone.Thank you, Owen, for a great time!

Hill of Tara and Trim Castle Private Day Tour from Dublin

GREAT TOUR!!!!!
Hills of TaraOwen was amazing!!!! He arrived early and was very talkative and explained every aspect of the tour. We went to the hills of Tara where he gave us a one-on-one guided tour, that was amazing. His knowledge of Irish history was above and beyond. Could not have asked for a better guide. Second was Bective Abbey he was very knowledgeable and told us the inner workings of the Abbey. Third was trim Castle. He allowed my wife and I time to walk around and enjoy the beauty of the castle. Upon leaving, he chatted with us the whole way back discussing more history from Ireland.. I cannot stress enough, how great of a guide he is. If you're going to take a tour, ask for Owen by name. We will definitely have him take us some places when we return.

Wonderful day at Cliffs of Moher
We had a wonderful day with Brian touring Cliffs of Moher, Doolin, and the Wild Atlantic Way. Brian is very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. He suggested a pub for lunch, stopped at a chocolate factory so we could have a taste test, and made sure we were comfortable and not in the need of anything. We loved having just four of us on the trip. Would absolutely recommend booking Brian for a trip!
