    Tour was good. Enjoyed the sheepdog experience immensely. But the trip manager slept with people on the tour which ruined the mood.

    Remi was a fantastic tour manager! Very organized and committed to making sure we were all safe and having an amazing time. He went above and beyond and shared lots of insight/history at each location so we got the most from the experience. Would recommend him to anyone! :)

    Remi was a fantastic guide, always going above and beyond for our group to make sure we had the best time and everything ran smoothly. I ended up getting sick on the tour and he was so caring always checking up to see how I was feeling and making sure I was okay. The tour was amazing, there were so many incredible sights to see and so many things packed into our 2 weeks! I wish there was more time to explore because Ireland definitely has my heart!

    Remi was wonderful, had some awesome slideshow presentations and facts for us whilst we were on the bus so we could find out more about where we were going. He did his best to find out the answers to any questions we might've had. Overall just great.
