Our guide was Karina and we couldn't have asked for a better one! She was brilliant and went way over the alloted 90 minutes. Very knowledgeable and a good laugh too, which we were in need of, it made for a very entertaining morning for myself and my son. Loved the little anecdotes from Bruce Springsteen to The beatles, as well as all the history, both modern and old. The recommendation of a good Whiskey shop was spot on and I'll look out for her in The Commitments film next time I watch it!
2. A day in Wicklow with a private guide! Scenery, history, & hiking (if you want!)
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 4 reviews
This is a tour of Wicklow, given by someone who grew up here and loves it. The tour described is an outline of what we might do, but we have plenty of options. I can suggest other places to visit on our day, and can incorporate other site visits, within reason. I am a Driver/Guide so we have a car, have a guide, and can do what we like!! Sometimes I bring people to some of the lesser known spots - old bridges by dark rivers, or up a favourite mountain, or to a beautiful garden. Occasionally, I bring visitors to my family farm, where my father and brother enjoy meeting visitors, and showing them over the farm. This is a 300 year old farm house which has been in the family for 8 generations and sheep, cattle and poultry are kept. You will be expected to chat with the family and tell them where you are from too!
Inclusions: Private transportation
Exclusions: Food, drink, and all admissions are not included in the price of the tour.

This tour was amazing. Led by a very highly informative and delightful lady called Dairine. Regardless of the ages and stages of this group, she made sure that everyone felt welcome and valued. She had obviously done her homework of the area and could keep us well informed and entertained for the duration of the trip. I would highly recommend to all all.

Be driven in comfort, style and at your own pace. Take the hassle out of trying to find your way around and discover Ireland’s hidden gems! We love what we do and we will ensure that you spend the most memorable time while in Ireland. From Ken and Darcy Washington, USA - Driver Guide : Ben Your stories and history lessons were timely and interesting, your intuition to allow Darcy and I to spend certain times with just the two of us and also your intuitive timing on when to involve yourself, coupled with your sense of humour, made the trip more like spending a day with a friend vs. a driver guided tour. It is a talent to balance professionalism, comfort, flexibility and gentle guidance to ensure we got to see all we wanted to see (and change in the middle of the trip to make it even better) - all of this for a fair price. We are grateful and fortunate to meet you and wish you continued success. Best of luck.

I loved these tours. Took them back in April of 2019. The first tour I took was a walking tour of Dublin. Ciaran was the tour guide. He was a total history buff and made the tour super interesting. The next day I went on a tour to a seaside village called Howth. I had a tour guide named Stephen. He was very cool and even preformed Shakespeare in the woods for his group. I hope to take these tours again one day.

We took a 12 day private tour of Ireland with Little Gem back in 2019 and it was the best travel experience of our lives. We were an extended family of 12 and had all generations of travellers. Little Gem provided a perfect experience from the start. Private tour planner Rosie worked with us on every detail of our travels and customized the perfect tour for us. Our driver guide was incredible and knew all the best spots to take us away from the tour coaches. Each night we stayed in amazing local accommodations including some very swanky 5* castles as well as a lovely farm stay and B&B's. We would highly recommend Little Gem Private Tours of Ireland!!

What an absolute amazing time we had. We booked this company for two tours and could not believe what we got in return. We started the tour in the middle of Dublin. Only a ten minute walk from our hotel. We were met with Aidan, our tour guide. What an amazing person. Very professional, and a great story teller. He took such good care of us (thank you if you are reading this)! The drive was 3.5 hours to Cliffs of Moher, but I think he got us there a earlier. Aidan drove and told amazing stories about what we saw. The cliffs of course was breathtaking (unfortunately a little foggy, but nothing anyone could do about that). We then went to this seaside rock area, one of my favorite views on this trip. Beautiful. Followed lunch at a sweet resturant, then Galaway and back to Dublin. One schedule the entire time. This is well worth the price. Honestly my husband and I were shock at what we got for what we payed. Worth it 100%. Thank you for an amazing day, it was the highlight of our honeymoon!

Well I am like most of the others in recent reviews as I have not yet gone on my trip. I want to emphasize how marvelous Ciara was when I had to cancel and I have now rebooked the 11 day driftwood tour September 7. Would love to hear from anyone else booking that tour. One of the reasons I rebooked was the low deposit as even though did get my deposit back with no trouble last year I was uncomfortable at my age and who knows what’s gonna happen with Covid putting a large deposit down again. Marvelous communication and service and I’m sure my tour will be marvelous and I can write a great review when I have been
