"Above and beyond! The customer service and convivial demeanor of our guide Gerry Fahey made our day! We visited Kilkenny castle and rock of castle! The owner Bob made a point of saying hello and meeting us at one of our stops! The vehicle was clean and comfortable! I had inadvertently left behind my handbag with passport in it. Gerry went out of his to return it at our next Dublin stop a few days later! Crisis averted! We would highly recommend About Ireland Taxi Tours! Ask for Gerry!"

"From the moment James picked us up from the airport Everything went perfectly!! We toured from Dublin to Kilkenny, Kinsale, Killarney, Dingle then back to Dublin. Each taxi driver was prompt, polite and a lot of fun! So much knowledge about the history of Ireland. They suggested some extra spots that weren't on our schedule; SO glad we said yes! Recommended some restaurants when we asked. I think this was the Very best way to see Ireland. Stress free. Thanks again, Kathy and John"

"Everything was perfect from the moment of our booking to the end of our visit in Dublin. Communications with Jenny were timely and she followed up quickly on the details. Our driver/guide, Liam was wonderful. He was informative and adaptable in every way. He even bought me a Guiness in the highest pub in the highest village in Ireland! Really, everything was great. We highly recommend About Ireland and will use them again on our next visit."
