Maria O’Reilly

Maria was amazing! She knew the history and folklore of everywhere we went. Somehow she managed to pay attention and be encouraging to each of us on the trip. She was warm, and engaging and a truly inspiring person.

Maria is a very caring person. She is very knowledgeable about history and nature of Ireland. She was close with every person on tour and made a point of being close with all of us. She is very gifted at her job and just a great person to travel with!

very knowledgeable, able to give history of hikes and castles
told great stories of the people

She was fantastic! She could not have been better. Fun, smart, kind and so warm and welcoming to all the guests. The group all enjoyed her guidance and company and the group members got along great and Maria was very flexible too.

Maria and Paul could not have been better guides. They kept us effortlessly on schedule while seeing to our every need (and sometimes anticipating what we needed.) They made the history, geology, archeology, and land of Ireland come alive. Most of all they were fun and caring people who represent your company and the country of Ireland in the best possible way.

Very knowledgeable and upbeat guides.

Maria and Paul were fantastic guides. Their knowledge was impressive and I loved to learn more about Irelands history. I couldn't have asked for better ones. Just geat!

Both guides were great. Maria was lots of fun and really got the group together like family.
Paul was extremely knowledgeable and fun too.
Both showed concern for all members of the group and were very helpful. It was great to experience both of them.

I had a big smile on each time I talked to family in the States telling them about the day and where we had been. Ireland is a beautiful country….and the people we ran into were all very friendly. But I think what really made the trip was the care and thoughtfulness Maria took with our group. It was pretty much a family group…the two non family members were friends….and at time it was like herding turtles trying to get everyone in one place on time. Some of us had not seen each other for a bit….and visiting sometimes trumped the tour agenda. Maria handled it all with good humor and patience.
