He was an effective and clear communicator (notifying us about what to expect at the sites was very helpful), and he's a gifted storyteller. I left feeling that I have a much deeper understanding of Irish history and a deeper love for this beautiful country.”

“This was our favorite trip during our stay. Flann, our guide was friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. The sites we visited were so rich in history. Able to explore all the ancient ruins up close. Flann gave a bit of history and stories with each site and gave us ample time to explore each on our own. Lunch was at a family owned craft distillery (Fore Distillery). The food was delicious and the staff (family members) were so friendly! We had Oliver, the master distiller give us an interactive talk about his craft with tasting. Highly recommend.Read more”

“Il tour in sé è bello e capiamo che la puntualità è essenziale per garantire a tutti una bella esperienza, ma essere rimproverati due volte per essere arrivati pochi minuti prima della partenza è un po' troppo. A Belfast, l'orario di partenza per andare al Titanic era alle 13.00. Alle 12.58 eravamo a 50 metri dall'autobus che stava già partendo, abbiamo dovuto sbracciarci e correre per evitare di essere lasciati in città. Abbiamo anche trovato alcune affermazioni o battute piuttosto inopportune, come l'appoggio alle bande che sparano agli spacciatori in certi quartieri o l'aver detto alla guida del Titanic che c'erano due passeggeri single con cui poteva provarci, fino al…”
