We love Elva! Our tour was amazing. Elva narrated our tour of Cong and Kylemore Abbey, included special stops to let us see ruins and other amazing sites. She is personable, knowledgeable, friendly, and so much fun to spend the day with. I would not hesitate to book with her again to see the rest of Ireland, and highly recommend her services.

Elva is a wonderful guide. She went out of her way to find a stone circle on our way to other sites. We had a wonderful day. She is knowledgable, warm, accommodating and lovely to spend a day with. 5 stars all the way.

My Sister and I took our first vacation together after 60 years and Elva was the perfect guide to the most beautiful part of Ireland - The Kylemore Abby and surrounding areas. She is very knowledgeable about Ireland, and a perfect conversationalist! She ensured we had time to take photos & shop. She took us to areas of interest that were off the beaten path. We loved our day with Elva. She does tours all over Ireland, so we hope to request her again on our next visit to Ireland.
