Reviews           Hello: My family members and I, a group of seven, truly enjoyed our tour last Saturday, 19 February 2011 , to Glendalough and Kilkenny. Our tour guide, Jerry, gave us insights into Irish history from ancient to contemporary times and provided us a lot to think about. He is a very impressive young man. We also appreciated the expertise of our driver, Hugh. Thanks for a wonderful, thought-provoking experience. J. Tucker Spring, Texas USA (24 January 2011) Many thanks to Niamh and Bob for a great day out - we really enjoyed the commentary, history and the great variety of your tour. We really appreciated the separate tour guide as Niamh was able to take us on a full walking tour of Glendalough to the Upper Lake, Lower Lake and Monastery while Bob took the coach back to the coach park and waited for us there! I believe there are few tours to include a separate tour guide and driver. This makes yours a better quality tour by far. Keep up the good work! Wendy F. We took your day tour through the Wicklow area and finishing in Kilkenny. (2010) It goes with out saying that it was a most fantastic tour. It was fantastic and we enjoyed it immensely. But, the stand out of the day was the tour guide and driver we had. We had Jerry and his sidekick the driver Paddy. Paddy (I think his name was) was dress in a tie and was extremely professional. A very nice gentleman. That brings me to Jerry………………. J J You know, he may not have had a suit and tie on but he was extremely knowledgeable of the tours setting and everything about Irish history, geography, politics and religion. He knew everything that we asked him. He laid out the tour dialog to perfection. He made it interesting. He made it amusing. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. You at Collins have a fantastic tour guide in this Jerry guy. I can’t say enough about your wonderful tour. And as far as I‘m concerned Collins may not be the biggest tour company in town, but it’s the BEST! It’s the best because of you having guys like Jerry and Patrick to entertain us for a whole day. If there was a way of sticking a couple pints of Guinness in this email I’d sent a couple of ‘em to those guys. Thanks for a wonderful tour. Cheers, S. Marek Dear Madam/Sirs, My wife and I had the pleasure of taking your Glendalough and Kilkenny Day Tour on September 20, 2010 with driver Hugh and guide Gerry. Both men were a credit to your company in professionalism, friendliness, and historical knowledge of the area and subject. Gerry's in-depth presentation excelled above any previous tour that we have ever been on. His historical and architectural knowledge was marvelous (he and I could compare our historical readings one for one and cross examine and compare our understandings). Your tours are far above in content, presentation, scope of tour, and transportation vehicle of anything that we have seen in the city. We will be recommending your tours to everyone and I have already informed our hotel's corporate offices of our satisfaction. Thank you for a wonderful day. J & D Hansard, Michigan Sensational experience! Breathless scenery in Glendalough, wonderful tour guide, comfortable coach. Kilkenny is amazing, full of surprises - we feel we have made the most of our trip to Ireland! Highly recommended! D. Goodwin, Chicago Our tour guide and our driver made our trip very special and everything 'came alive'. Great value tour. We saved a full day by doing both Wicklow and Kilkenny same day! S. Vincenzi, Modena, Italy Recently we had been to Dublin and took the day tour to Wicklow, Glendelough and Kilkenny on June 21, 2010. We would like to let you know that we have enjoyed the tour very much. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, very energetic and detail oriented. We really appreciated the information provided by the guide. Also we would like to especially thank you for locating my cell phone lost during the tour and for handing it over to me following day. Overall our experience was very positive and I would recommend your tours to any one visiting Ireland with no hesitation. Kind regards, P. Turlapaty
