    Diana was fabulous! As we were in Ireland, unsurprisingly, the forecast called for some rain. Diana did a great job rearranging our day to ensure we maximized the sunny time during our outdoors portions! She did a great job summarizing the history of each location we visited as well as the modern day significance. She picked out a great spot for lunch and had a table reserved so we could get in quickly! Powerscourt is a must see for the garden and water fall! We really enjoyed seeing some of these harder to access sights near Dublin. It was an awesome day and very easy for us!

    We went to the Glendalough Monastic Monument, followed by a wonderful and refreshing hike to the Wicklow mountains. We were blessed with good weather. Diana was a fantastic guide, who paid attention to the fact that I enjoyed hiking, which was why the iteniary deviated, that was a great suggestion. The views were stunning. Afterwards, we had tea at Powerscourt. I highly recommend this particular tour! .

    From the moment we contacted Diana, she was amazing. She responded to every email we sent promptly and helped us create the perfect itinerary based on our must see list. She was very knowledgeable in the history of the places we visited and gave us the perfect amount of time to explore each location. We went to Guinness Lake, Ballinastoe Woods, Wicklow, Glendalough, and Powerscourt Abbey. Highly Recommend.

    We booked a private day tour with Gateway to Ireland for the Wicklow Mountains and had an amazing day with our guide Diana. Pre-trip communication was clear and responsive to my questions and requests. We visited Glendalough and hiked along the Wicklow Way above Lough Tay (Guiness Lake), which was the main request for the day from the teens in our party. Diana found us a nice vegetarian restaurant for lunch and when our afternoon plan was not met with the expected enthusiasm from the teens, Diana graciously switched gears (and set aside the research she had done for my original request) and came up with other suggestions, which earned a 10/10 from the teens. I had never used a driver/private guide before and it was a splurge. Diana made it worth it and I won't hesitate to hire her again on our next visit to Ireland!

    This day trip to idyllic countryside from Dublin with Diana as our guide was fantastic from beginning to end. I traveled with my two children (10 and 4). It was a very last minute trip, booked the night before, but she was prompt and professional and coordinated all of the logistics. Diana tailored the experience beautifully to make sure that all three of us got maximum enjoyment from the trip. She had deep knowledge about the history around the places we visited, and was very personable. She even offered to take all of the photos of the trip for us to download later, so that we could enjoy the day without taking out our phones. For the kids, she added small little treats, such as a flora/fauna detective hunt at Powerscourt Gardens, a trip to the playground at Powerscourt Waterfall, and an ice cream break at Glendalough. My daughter is obsessed with Tangled (the Rapunzel animated film), and Diana found a way to take us a stone tower at Glendalough that was exactly like the one in the film. Our family is vegetarian, and for lunch Diana found an authentic Irish restaurant in Laragh that was also vegetarian-friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better trip. The sights themselves did not disappoint, and Diana as the guide made sure to keep all ages happy and relaxed throughout.
