Great 1/2 Day Tour

Our time was tight so couldn’t do a full day. Any concerns we had that the 1/2 day tour were completely dispelled. An excellent 5 hours, our driver/guide - Gary of Paddywagon Tours - was excellent, very knowledgeable about what we saw and wider Irish history and folklore, great music taste too. Would 100% recommend.

Great trip especially for the afternoon. Coach easy to get too, driver friendly pointing out stops along the way. Time for pictures, definitely didn’t need any longer than an hour and half at the stones
