As a family we travelled to Belfast in Oct 2019 (been meaning to write this review for ages!) and our most recommended activity was to do the famous Black Taxi Tour. We were lucky enough to get Brendan as our driver and had the most incredible experience. He was so knowledgeable, informative and provided amazing insight into the past and present history of Belfast. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Could not recommend this more!!

A fantastic insight into life living in and the history of the Bogside in Derry was provided by John. He was an extremely nice guy and down to earth. His first hand knowledge of Bloody Sunday and other events that took place in Derry during the Troubles made for a very good day. We would highly recommend John and this walking tour if you want to get a full insight into the Troubles. Thanks again John, also say hi to the painter for us! Hopefully he’ll have the wall painted by sometime next week! ????

Our family of four had one of the best experiences we've had traveling around Ireland thanks to Henry. We booked Henry for 3 days and each day he gave us a comprehensive and highly enjoyable guide around different regions of Donegal. Henry is funny and extremely knowledgeable and we had such a wonderful time touring the county. We traveled in comfort and got to see views and visit places which simply are not accessible with large coaches or difficult on your own .Simply put, if you want to see Donegal, leave the car at the hotel and get in contact with Henry. Cannot recommend Henry's private tours highly enough.

This review is long overdue....My dad and I went on a father-son trip to Ireland last Summer and Michael and his team were one of the main components of making our trip one of the best and most memorable experiences of our lives. We were looking for a private excursion starting in Sligo that ultimately brought us all the way up to Portrush for the Open Championship that we had tickets to over the course of 5 days. From the beginning of inquiring about this trip we were planning, Michael went above and beyond to help us plan our route. He basically let us customize the whole thing and helped recommended certain stops along the way. His level of knowledge on the history of Ireland/Northern Ireland is nothing short of amazing.....we learned more than we ever could have imagined. Our walk around Derry to learn about Bloody Sunday was one of the most haunting, but eye opening experiences to the tragedies that happened many years ago, yet still have a significant affect to this day. Michaels local knowledge of the roads and secret spots to take us was definitely not taken for granted.....My dad and I couldn't have imagined navigating some of the places we did (Slieve League, all of Donegal and Malin Head). It's remote to say the least but some of the most beautiful locations and terrain. His other tour guides Neil and Aidan were awesome too and took us around places of NI like Giants Causeway and Belfast! All I can say is without Michael and his team this trip does not happen.....I can't recommend a tour group more than this....if you're looking for a custom Ireland experience like no other these are your guys....even if just for a day I can assure you will not be disappointed!
