Oliver, our driver snd guide was awesome! He asked us where we wanted to go and we told him it was his choice and he did a fabulous job. The only thing we were confused about was at Charles Fort which he thought was included but wasn’t so we just paid the admission fee but then they didn’t even give us a “guided” tour. Don’t bother with that if you’re there! The 9/11 memorial brought tears to our eyes and the Coleman cathedral was amazing along that dock area (we happened to be docked at the industrial dock). The Jameson tour was excellent but we were a little pressed for time because of the wasted time spent at Charles Fort. Other than the minor glitches it was a perfect day with an absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable driver/guide.Barbara_B

Tour was good. We booked a tour guide but he was really a driver rather than a guide. Very nice but we were hoping for a little more information along the way.

The fort was just lovely. Aiden was an excellent tour guide and I really appreciated his professionalism and expertise throughout the day. He took us to the 911 memorial when we had some extra time. His recommendation for lunch was excellent. His communication and timing were perfect!

The driver recommended a great farm to table restaurant, took us for a short shopping trip in Kinsale, but booked the distillery tour too late in the day for us to be able to go. We were on a cruise ship with a time schedule. It was not worth the &1100.00+ we paid for the 4 of us.
