My family absolutely loved the Segway tour. Our guide Michael pitched the historical information to just the right level to keep our teenagers interested. The tour he organised was so full of interesting and historic landmarks and using the segways was a unique and fun way of getting around. Thankyou so much Michael, you made our trip to Ireland very special.
