Rick Steves 14-day tour of Ireland was recommended to us by friends.  We are so glad we took their advice!  Our guide, Cathie Ryan, was fantastic.  She is a professional singer as well, so we were entertained royally every day!  She was upbeat, happy, fun, energetic and always helpful.  She gave us lots of suggestions of things we could do on our own & places to eat, listen to music, drink, museums & anything else you wanted to do on your own.  The tour was very flexible.  There were some who were not 100% because of a cold or just plain worn out.  Not problem!  Take it easy & join us tomorrow!  Love Cathie's attitude!  In the photo below Cathie, in red, is on the left and our driver is on the right, in the back with the vest on.
