What a fabulous day with Fergal. My husband and I were in Northern Ireland for 4 nights and wanted to do some exploring without the confines and strict agenda of a large tour company and we found the perfect tour guide for the country with InSite Tours and Fergal. He took us all around, to off the beaten path gorgeous locations that only a local would know and even fit in a quick tasting at Bushmills, finishing the day with dinner at a delicious place. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique adventure, incredible scenery and fabulous guide.

My sister and I travelled to Dublin back in April 2019. Although I am writing this review almost 2 years later, it had an everlasting impression on our overall experience of Ireland. We truly had such a lovely time on this tour. The tour started early morning in the city centre area. Our tour guide/bus driver, Richard O'Brien was very entertaining and knowledgeable. We learned so much about Ireland's history that we previously never knew, which is very important to us. We made a few stops along the way to the Cliffs of Moher. We have a great memory at our lunch spot. When we arrived at the Cliffs of Moher, it was a very cold and windy day, just out of a Harry Potter movie. I would highly recommend this tour and particularly with our tour guide, Richard. It was a once in a lifetime experience and something we will never forget. Thank you!

We just loved everthing about ireland, the friendliness, the fun, the tour guide, the small group travel. The scenery is just breathtaking. The ancient history is just jawdropping i mean these ancient women (queens) had some serious hootspur and gumtion. I mean they went out and did some serious stuff, got involved in wars, sailed ther own ships, left the babies home and got rid of husband who were just superfluous to requirements. I mean kudos to you girls. I know you are not gonna beleive this but we need you back. Northern ireland sad, such a waste of young life. Still feels haunted by the grief. Our hosts were b&b's, they were just delightful, and hilariously funny sometimes. Our tour guide (their were 10 of us) Gabriel was fantastic great sense of humour, very helpfull, fantastic with local knowledge and history. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND - NITOUR is recommended to those who want a personalized itinerary because he caters to small groups. Steven was very accomodating to our desires. He will work with you on what you want to see or will make great suggestions, if you're not sure what you want to see. He provided coffee, tea or water toward the end, which was a nice surprise. We would love to return to Belfast and will contact NITOUR when that happens.
