This is one of the best tours we’ve ever done! Phil knows his stuff and loves his job and it shows. He will make sure you get the best of the best and stop at off the beaten path places to enhance your experience. We went during the heatwave so the bus did get quite warm in the back, but it was record breaking temps, so no way to help that! I would hands down recommend this to anyone wanting to experience the area and learn the history and culture. Wish I had Phil for all the other areas of Ireland we travelled to as well!

Great trip. Phil is hilarious and learning about the history of the sites from him was both informative and entertaining. The sites are breathtaking. I especially loved Inis Oirr (I opted for the walking tour with Phil). Phil really made the experience memorable with his boundless energy and humor, wonderful people skills and knowledge and love of Ireland.

Phil was a fabulous guide and Seamus a great driver. Nice to be on a smaller tour of 20 in a luxury mini-coach instead of a large full coach of 50. The tour exceeded our expectations and was packed so many great pieces. Driving through Connemara with beach stops and thatched cottage stops with great info was perfect. Tips on what to do on the Island for dining, shopping and touring was great. Loved the pony tour and got a great Aran Island sweater made on the middle island - one of the last places where sweaters are still manufactured in Ireland and not China. The ferry ride to the Cliffs were great and Phil gave us the tip of the best side for viewing so we had the prime spot on a full ferry! The bus ride through the Burren with stops for vista and at a chocolate factory. Yum! Phil also gave us a great dinner tip when we returned to Galway. All in all, so worthwhile!
