A great day out of the city to see some of the country. Well organised and on time; an amusing and knowledgeable guide. Wish we could have had a little more time in Kilkenny. Had not heard of St Kevin before this visit! More

Our tour guide Jerry was very funny and can crack a joke just about anything. We learnt so much Irish history! The Glendalough lakes, Wicklow Gap and Kilkenny were scenic, but it was really his description really made them come to life. Highly recommended! More

We were a bit anxious as we booked our tour on-line with no prior contact. No worries! Comfy and safe bus (thanks Paddy), outstanding history and tour guide in... More

This a a very well done tour. The timing is right and the sights are marvelous. Our guide, Michael, was knowledgeable and told us a lot on the bus, but at the sites he strode on ahead and wasn't too helpful. We were kind of on our own. All in all, it was a very good day. More

From the very beginning of the tour there was a wealth of information provided to us about Dublin, Ireland and the tour itinerary for the day. The guide gave us historical information as well as telling us about parts of Dublin, the suburbs, and traffic as we left the city. He continued providing us with his knowledge of Glendalough and...

We were just in Dublin for a long weekend and loved our full day (9a-6p) tour with Gerry at Collins Day Tours. The bus was most punctual in picking us up at the chosen hotel and then we were quickly on our way. I highly recommend the Wicklow/Glendalough/Kilkenny tour. I was a bit dubious as not many reviews appear for... More
