We were on a Viking cruise to the British Island's, so happy Dublin was a port of call. I always book with T by L vs the Ships tours, more $$ but well worth it. My first time in IRE so wanted to get real feel of the countryside and culture. We had no interest the City of Dublin, which I am sure is great but wanted something different. We met Diana at a cafe near the port to discuss our day. We hit it off as she totally understood our ideas on itin. Based on our thoughts she planned the perfect day .. I got my taste of beautiful countryside, Guinness Lake (which is off the beaten path), unreal waterfalls, and plenty of roaming sheep. Dianna knows her stuff, history and has great pride in her profession. We stopped for lunch at her delightful local pub. Would definitely recommend Diana. We had a great day with a great person. Thanks again D

Dara was a great host and tour guide. I loved that it was a personal tour. We packed everything in but at a good pace and he not only had all the historical knowledge but provided great info for my stay.
