We are unanimous that the day spent with you touring Wicklow and Glendalough was the high point of the trip.

Thank you so much for your tour. We are unanimous that the day spent with you touring Wicklow and Glendalough was the high point of the trip. This is something coming from a group that is known to be averse to organized tours. In addition to the wonderful scenery, and the witty and informed commentary, I think they enjoyed knowing that they could determine the pace of the day.

It was great getting a personal perspective on the country, politics and traditions, and coupled with our West Coast "experiences" we're feeling rather knowledgeable :). After watching the poor folks outside our hotel try to cram their luggage on the Air Bus I was doubly glad we had arranged for you to pick us up at the train station and drop us at the airport. There is nothing better than arriving in a new place and having someone waiting to take you to your destination.

You certainly made my four days very easy!

I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank you so much for the tours you did for mum and her friend on Tuesday and Wednesday. Both were delighted with you, your knowledge and your service and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. You certainly made my four days very easy! They went off on Thursday two very happy people. You did a better job than I ever could, even after 12 years in the city and with an interest in the history myself. Thanks again, and I won't hesitate to use your service again, or to recommend you to others.

The four of us wholeheartedly would recommend and seek Kieran out on our next Irish adventure!

Our group had only 2.5 days to spend in Ireland and we wanted to make the most of our time there because my partner and I were taking my terminally ill father & my stepmom on a whirlwind tour of London, Scotland and Dublin over the course of 10 days. Being busy with our own company and having a limited schedule, we didn't have time to waste trying to learn a new country all on our own. I first contacted Kieran via email through his website and after he adeptly determined what my dad, who is a huge genealogy buff with an interest in our Irish ancestry wanted to see, he took care of every detail.

Kieran showed us all of the highlights in Dublin proper, and the next day took us out into the countryside and gave us an indepth tour of celtic ruins, ancient castles, the Irish countryside, and two quaint pubs. We found much of the tour was well off the beaten bath of the big tour buses and he showed us people and places we would have never seen on our own. He let us see tour at our own pace and he was very informative whenever we had questions. Probably what the 4 of us enjoyed most though, was his personable nature and the time he took to answer some of the most basic & straightforward questions we had about the Irish people, Irish culture, and what it was like to grow up in Dublin.

The 2 days we spent with Kieran ended up being 2 of the most memorable of the entire trip. Kieran was even kind enough after 2 days of lugging us around in his luxury van, to come pick us up, free of charge, on Sunday, the day of our departure to make sure we got to the airport safely -- even while the much ballyhooed Wimbledon match was going on. The four of us wholeheartedly would recommend and seek Kieran out on our next Irish adventure!

We count our day with you as one of the high lights of the trip

Wanted you to know that we are home safely and are tired but very appreciative of the opportunity that we had to see Ireland, France and England on our whirlwind trip. We count our day with you as one of the highlights of the trip and wanted you to know how much we enjoyed getting to see your beautiful homeland. We also enjoyed your efforts to share your passion for your country with us. It was a wonderful experience and we wanted you to know how much we appreciated all that you did to help us to see Dublin and surrounds. Please know that if you and Maeve ever get to America you are welcome to come see us and allow us to return the favor.

Don't miss the chance to duplicate our own experience with Kieran and Tour Dublin!

A Faultless experience (note Faultless with a capital "F"). Kieran is more than a masterful guide, he's a student of the history of Ireland and a teacher who brings to life the wonderful story of that land. We had asked for a tour of Wicklow but the morning dawned dull and rainy. That didn't bother Kieran, "Come on" he said, "We'll take a look at Trinity college and the Cathedral and perhaps City Hall while it's raining. Hopefully it'll clear before lunch." Clear it did, after all, who could deny Kieran's wishes?.

Our trip south was everything we expected, and more. By the end of the day we had seen a small part if this beautiful island, and what's more, made a new friend. Don't miss the chance to duplicate our own experience with Kieran and Tour Dublin!

Regrettably I couldn’t talk enough with you because of my poor English.

I would like to send a special thanks to you for your professionalism, timeliness, and most of all your courtesy

I would like to send a special thanks to you for your professionalism, timeliness, and most of all your courtesy while we utilized your wonderful services for our stay in Dublin. Using you for our airport transfers & transportation to and from the U2 concert was first class all the way at a very economical rate. Your Mercedes MPV and Sedan (Salon) were such a pleasure to ride in and also were in impeccable condition.

If you are interested in a full day tour out of Dublin to see the countryside, I would recommend Tour Dublin.

Our driver, Kieran, has a degree in ancient history, and has quite an insight into the ruins and sites we visited. We had an all day tour of Powerscourt Gardens, Glendalough (Monastery Ruins) and Avoca the village where Ballykissangel was filmed. (great woolen shops). He can arrange a tour to suit your timeframe.

It was the perfect way to spend our last day in Ireland

We just wanted to send you a quick email to let you know how much we enjoyed our tour to the Rock of Cashel and Kilkenny. It was the perfect way to spend our last day in Ireland and climbing the round tower in Kilkenny was certainly a highlight of our entire trip! We have requested that your business be added to Trip Advisor and we will be sure to leave an excellent review.

Thank you so much for the memorable day!

We had such a wonderful time with you in Dublin and really think it was the highlight of our trip

I was just trying to organize our travel stuff and realized I had not written to you to convey our thanks.......we had such a wonderful time with you in Dublin and really think it was the highlight of our trip.

We appreciate your expertise and your help in letting me see as much as I could with my walking limitations......and you are a lot of fun!!!

We signed up for a one day tour and ended up spending two days with Kieran in and around Dublin.

I highly recommend Kieran Cathcart of Tour Dublin as a guide for that part of Ireland. He has a fleet of Mercedes and a wealth of knowledge and understanding of both Irish history and present day institutions. We signed up for a one day tour and ended up spending two days with Kieran in and around Dublin. Do not miss the Newgrange tombs and the area outside of Dublin while there.

A big thank you for the wonderful
tour you gave us.

A big thank you for the wonderful tour you gave us. It was the highlight of our visit to Dublin. We\'re back at home, arriving Sat. evening, but full of all the beauty, friendliness we absorbed. I waited a long time for that visit, but it was well worth it. My daughter, Katherine, booked your tour, and she made an excellent choice. All the best from the four of us.

No matter what you do, if you plan to visit Ireland - HIRE KIERAN

No matter what you do, if you plan to visit Ireland - HIRE KIERAN. Not only is he a wonderful and very kind human being, he has a thorough knowledge of his country and its history. We travel extensively, as a family, and I can vouch that he is the best guide we have ever encountered in all those years on the road. Ours was an experience never to be forgotten. Mille fois merci Kierans for making us discover Dublin and its surroundings, for going out of your way to please us and, also, for sharing your secret. You shall remain for ever our trusted Irish friend.

We can't thank him enough for the wonderful tours

Kieran is wonderful. Our family of four toured with him in May of 2010 and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. He is a joy to be around and an excellent guide. Not only is he well versed in history, but he made it interesting for all of us. The kids enjoyed him as much as we did! We have had many guides throughout Europe and experiences vary greatly. Our high recommendations for Kieran are sent without hesitation.

We began our tour in Dublin and Kieran's smiling face met us at the airport. His vehicle was immaculate and comfortable. We toured our second day to Wicklow and left the itinerary up to him. He did a brilliant job of taking us to lovely places. We returned to Dublin about a week later and toured again with Kieran to the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren. He found a hidden gem...the Burren Perfumery...where we had a delicious lunch and enjoyed his company. We can't thank him enough for the wonderful tours and hope to return soon to learn and enjoy more of Ireland...we want to see Dingle next!

We are still raving about it!!!

Kieran took me, my husband and my friends on a tour of Dublin back in March, and we are still raving about it!!! He is the best. Mixing a vast knowledge, humor and just all around good naturedness - he is a great person, and we had a wonderful day. I highly recommend Kieran!!!
