A GREAT CRAIC

1st-time traveler Gabriella

“You’ll remember the people having a craic” is what Killian said to us on our last day, traveling back from the Aran Islands. Craic as we have come to learn is an Irish term for fun, good times, enjoyment, all of which was nonstop on our 9 day adventure. He was right, and as I...

Take the leap

2nd-time traveler Shola

The tour was awesome and really fun, Killian is the best tour director for this. All the local recommendations were awesome to do and if you have the chance definitely do the Aran island and Glendalough for the views and a different pace.

Experienced Traveler, First Time with a Tour

1st-time traveler Zerita

I’ve been lucky enough to travel to Ireland before with my family, doing our own accommodations, and having good craic. However there’s something different about this tour- it was my first time traveling so far without anyone in my family and the group quickly became my family!...

The Tour Guide of All Tour Guides

1st-time traveler Anonymous

Killian was an absolute dream to have as a tour guide. It felt as if an old friend of yours was giving you a tour of their home country even though we had just met him for the first time. He shared the real, the good, the bad, the messy, and the beautiful parts of the country,...
