Damian was an amazing tour guide. He arrived early, has tons of historical knowledge not only for the Neolithic sites we visited but also Ireland and Dublin in general. His van was comfortable, he gave us fabulous recommendations, was friendly and one of the best tour guides we have had.

A most interesting tour. Damian is very knowledgeable and his presentation style is not only entertaining and thought provoking, but also a lot of fun.

Damien put together a great day for our sightseeing around he city of Dublin. Starting with a visit to Newgrange and ending with a tour and detailed explanation of the Hill of Tara we both learned much of the Ireland history and had some great photo opportunities. The day flew by and Damien kept in very interesting and very on point. Damian's restaurant and music recommendations were right on! Food was terrific and Irish music was "trad" and known by the locals. I would highly recommend Damien.

Outstanding in all aspects! Damian was not only superbly knowledgeable, he was a delight to tour with. Expert analysis, great preparation and flexible attitude delivered a most memorable experience. Reservations made well in-advance provided a smooth and enjoyable full day of exploration. This was our second tour in as many years with Damian and he exceeded expectations on both occasions. When we return to Ireland, Damian will be our "go to" guide. Brilliant!
