We had the best tour guide - James Creegan. He was so knowledgeable, very informative and always so prepared for each stop on the tour. His sense of humor and caring ways made the trip so enjoyable and unforgettable for the whole bus. We all were so impressed by him. He certainly set the bar high for other tour guides. Our bus driver, Tommy, was also the best with his excellent navigating skills on all of those narrow, winding roads in Ireland.Show more
