Reviews
highlights got to be Trim castle where the filming of Braveheart took place. it would have been perfect if there was a castle guided tour at Trim castle.
It's a tour with no time restrictions, so each participant returns to the bus when they are satisfied, and when everyone returns, we move on to the next location. I was surprised at first, but I think it leaves everyone satisfied. We enjoyed it at a relaxed pace. The Hill of Tara and the rock crew were especially good. Perfect for those who like ruins. I could never get there on my own. In Ireland, the traffic jams in the city are terrible, and in the countryside, the roads are narrow but the speed is high, so I'm really glad we didn't rent a car. You can also drink beer at lunchtime. This is a recommended tour.
It was supposed to be a guided tour, but the guide just drove and didn't explain the places or the history at all. What's more, I didn't know what time to return to the bus or where the toilet was, so I asked and was scolded. The instructions were only audible to those sitting in the front, and even when we arrived at a place where we had to climb a steep slope for more than 30 minutes, we were just told "Be back by XX time," with no explanation of the location, so the other tour participants looked very tired.
All places visited are free of charge and can be reached by car, and the scenery is not particularly attractive. I believe it would be better for people with faith to participate.
