Reviews
"An excellent start to a wet day in Ireland. Vincent gave us an interesting and educational tour dotted with fun antidotes, he provided or should I say borrowed much needed umbrellas for us unprepared tourists. Well worth a visit."
"Had a great experience on a walking tour with Vincent yesterday. Learned a lot about the history of the city and the country, especially appreciated the info about Athlone during the Famine and, on a lighter note, the history of singer John McCormack. The story of the Jacobites and the Williamites and their battles was also very well told. Having family history in the area, Vincent was more than helpful in discovering places of interest, and he really seems to be an institution among the Athlonians. I recommend his beautiful riverside tour to anyone who wants to get to know Athlone."
"Vincent’s tour is very professional, authentic and suitable for all ages. He is highly engaging and opens the door to a very fascinating picture of Irish and Athone history."
"The tour was very interesting with lots of lovely human stories and fascinating facts about the town. The guide, Vincent was very engaging and did an excellent job. One could tell that he is very enthusiastic and proud to show people around this lovely town. And it will be even better after covid when Sean's bar is open !!!"
"I reallly recommend this tour. The guide is very knowledgeable yet provides life stories and entertainment. Athlone has a great history which is brought to life. Even better is the fact that the tour gives a summary of Irish history also. Well done on producing an informative historical trail."
