Absolutely worth it

Hats off to Paddy, he was a great driver. We had an amazing time at every stop, in fact my friend said "best day of her life." Jonah the sheep farmer was a total riot and patsy the sheep dog was show stopping.

Our bus driver and guide...

Our bus driver and guide was great! His discussion in the cemetery was interesting and informative. Added bonus for being able to make a wish at a fairy ring in glendalough. The sheep herding was a hoot too! The day was great for 11/13 yr olds and adults
