Dear Daina!

Sorry I am so slow responding, we just returned from Ireland yesterday.  

As for feedback, we were very happy with the tour and would recommend it to others.  The tour guide was really nice and did a fantastic job, the driver was also really nice and reliable, and the hotels and food were all good, and everything was really well-organized.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer!

Best regards,

Kristen
