Emerald Isle Quest: Kilkenny, Wicklow, Glendalough, Sheepdog Magic

Lots of good things to see, but too much bus ride without a bathroom. Murphy and John were delightful. Not much to see from the bus. One stop required a 50 minute walk to see a lake, too much for me. Time in Wicklow was much shorter than they said it would be. Only got to see the castle and eat lunch.

Everything was fantastic! Our Tour Leader was knowledgeable, funny, and helpful! The driver did an outstanding job!

Murphy was an excellent guide full of information and funny jokes. John (driver) took good care of us. Ps: it will be greatly appreciated if the engine of the bus could be turned off while waiting for passengers to board or even better:opt for electric buses.

Wonderful experience, my favorite was stopping at Rich‘s farm and watching him work his border collie with his sheep. We were blessed with excellent weather! Our driver, Darren was great and made good recommendations on other things to do, including give us a tip on how to possibly get tickets for something that was sold out. We were able to get tickets, we very much appreciated that!

Darren was very knowledgeable and we had a great time with our kids listening to the stories and looking at the sites

Our guide, Gary, was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and a lot of fun throughout the entire trip. He shared fascinating insights about Scottish history, culture, and the stories behind the places we visited, which made the experience even more memorable. We especially enjoyed learning about Glencoe and keeping an eye out for “Nessie” at Loch Ness. Wear comfortable shoes, some parts could be muddy. Overall, this tour is a wonderful way to see some of Scotland’s most iconic sights in one day. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh who wants to experience the beauty and history of the Highlands!

It was freezing but the bus was warm and dry! I wish I had brought better shoes to walk in with all the rain, but the company on the bus was stellar. Our guide was very encouraging to us to try new things and explore. For such a small amount of money this was 10 hours of a lot of fun. The bus is comfortable, the WiFi works well and the charging ports really came in handy. I was glad to be able to learn about the rich history of Dublin while going around and feeling the country! I had a lot of fun at the first stop going into the castle (~10) and walking around to the local shops for some shopping. Many say the best part was the sheep but I thought Wicklow Way Gleann Dá Loch - Glendalough was great to explore nature and relax for a bit outside. Be careful when it’s wet walking up and down the stairs because you do not want to fall

I must recommend this for kids! They’ll love the sheepdog experience! Also, our tour guide, Joe Murphy is amazing! Very attentive to us on board and very funny! Him and our driver Paulo are quite the dynamic duo. Very amusing to hear them tease one another on the ride and Joe Murphy’s enthusiasm to include us and our culture throughout the bus ride is very entertaining. Totally recommend him as a guide!

Murphy was a very knowledgeable, friendly, and funny guide. Paolo was a great driver and got us to all out destinations safely. Every stop of the trip was well worth it and I highly recommend!

I had no idea that there was a hike to the lakes. It should be advertised with km and difficulty. We enjoyed it all immensely
