Hi Peter, Thank you for the fantastic review! We are so glad to hear that your journey through Ireland’s Ancient East was unforgettable. Our goal is always to make sure every stop—from the rolling landscapes to the historic ruins—feels meaningful and authentic, so it’s wonderful to know we hit the mark for you. We’re thrilled that you found the trip both enriching and relaxing; finding that "short-trip" balance is something we work hard on! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with our team. We hope to welcome you back to the Emerald Isle again soon—perhaps to explore the Wild Atlantic Way next time? Cheers, Theo | BTOURS
