    What a fun experience. Unexpectadly fabulous. The boats hold a dozen people. If the water is low…read moreyou'll need to walk part of the route.

    I booked this tour for my family and we were so excited to experience the park and the Gap of…read moreDunloe. Due to the craziness of Irish roads, we were running late for the tour. I called ahead and they said it would be ok that we were a bit behind. When we arrived at the castle, there were no markings or signs anywhere beyond the car park to indicate where we should go or to distinguish one company from another. We saw multiple boats at the pier and approached several of them and showed them our tickets. A couple of the boat operators told us that we were all set and would take care of us so we assumed they were from the company we booked with. They loaded us into their boat and took us on the tour throughout the park. He mentioned that many tours are operating in the opposite direction (boat first, then carriage ride, then bus), so we assumed that was why we were going in the opposite order. We asked whether there would be any problem when we arrived at the next destination connecting with the rest of our tour. He replied it would not be. When we arrived at the cottage in the middle of the park, we had a snack and connected with the horse carriage drivers. They were lovely and we managed to arrange a couple of carriages for the five of us. When we reached Kate\'s Cottage, we approached the one bus we saw in the parking lot and he told us our tour bus would be coming later. We waited 30 minutes and no other bus arrived. We tried several times to call the company at the number we used earlier in the day and no one answered. Our carriage operator actually approached us to ask about our tour company and how we would get back to our car. He knew the owner and said he\'d call him. After waiting for over an hour, another tour bus arrived. When we boarded, we learned that this was yet another tour company and that we\'d have to pay to return to the place in the park where our car was. The bus driver then called our company and finally, someone from the company we\'d booked with returned HIS call. He said that the boat operators who took us were actually from a different company and that our company had paid them for our ride. He was upset that we had gotten on a dark green boat as opposed to a black boat. None of these boats were marked. They also said that they had been trying to \"find\" us throughout the day. At no point did anyone from the company call or reach out to us. At the park, no one from this company approached us. He informed us that there was nothing more they could/would do and we were on our own. My husband had to pay to have the other bus drive him to our car and we needed to wait over an hour for him to return to pick us up. We loved the park and the people we met were lovely, but I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY. I am not even sure what we paid for considering we paid for the horse ride on our own and the bus. I feel completely ripped off.
