Sheepdog herding is a tactic used by Shepherds to help them herd sheep and it is also a competitive dog sport. This tactic includes a Border Collie giving the sheep “The Eye” which is a direct stare used to intimidate the sheep while herding. A sheepdog is an integral part of farming culture and we want our passengers to experience this on our tour. Passengers will be able to see just how much a sheepdog can help its master and help them cut the work time in half with their help. The sheepdog possess qualities like loyalty and being hard working which makes a sheepdog the perfect farm companion.

Our tour guide was not as informative as we would have liked, which is one of the reasons why this tour is rated 3 stars and not 5. The tour of Glendalough took place in the morning and was quite scenic. However, the drive to Kilkenny took about one and a half hours. By the time we arrived, it was 2 pm, we hadn't had lunch, and we were starved. So we opted to have a nice leisurely bite to eat instead of taking the walking tour of Kilkenny and its castle with our guide.

Our tour guide Matthew was brilliant and took us on enjoyable tours of both Glendalough and Kilkenny. An excellent day - enhanced by perfect weather.

This was an amazing tour. Our tour guide Pat was very informative. He went out of his way to make everyone fun at home. When we got to Kilkenny, after lunch he gave a walking tour if you wanted to go. We went on his walking tour and he took us and showed us things we would never have known or see if not for him. We loved this tour
