A group of us with an interest in Gardens took a private tour with John to visit Kilruddery and Powerscourt Gardens. With John's expert knowledge of both history and horticulture... read more the experience was excellent, he made each part of the day and every element of the gardens interesting and a great learning experience.

  We had a fabulous day with John driving south from Dublin through beautiful coastal villages to Powerscourt and then up into the Wicklow mountains with the final stop in Glendalough.... read more He is a wealth of knowledge and we learned about Irish history, politics, society and flora and fauna. We would love to travel more with him when we are back in Ireland which we hope will be soon!

  Day with John was wonderful. His horticultural knowledge and historical knowledge were fascinating. I would highly recommend and would definitely ride with him again on my next trip to Ireland.

  The McAllister Family is so grateful to have been connected with John via Approved Tourist Guides Ireland (ATGI)!

John's depth of knowledge and love of country shined through and made our Irish-American family feel connected to The Land of Saints and Scholars. Highly recommend!

  Great day with John Ducie. I’d describe him as passionate and knowledgeable, what else could you want in a tour guide!

Very well spoken, and easy to understand (hard... read more for my mother sometimes depending on accents), we very much enjoyed jump starting our knowledge of Dublin shortly after arriving so we can effectively get a handle on the city early on.

Would recommend John to anyone for anything, but that Dublin tour seemed like home for him.

  My wife and I just finished an 8 day tour of Ireland with John. We saw Ireland from coast to coast with so much in between! Be it... read more the City of Dublin, Galway, The Cliffs of Moher, The Dingle Peninsula or the many quaint towns and villages along the way we saw it all and more. We had never been to Ireland and had no clue as to where to go, what to see or where to stay. With John's help and guidance we had a wonderful flawless experience. John's fantastic knowedlge of Irish history is a real gift that we greatly appreciated.

My wife and I highly recommend John Ducie as your tour guide for Ireland!!

  John was a great tour guide. He picked up our Family of 12 at our VRBO and gave us a comprehensive tour of our requested sites in Dublin.

  Had an absolutely wonderful tour with John. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and so helpful in showing us the city

  John researched two of our ancestors who left Ireland in the 1750's. There are not many records from that era unless your ancestor was rich or a criminal. ... read more John tracked the family name and connected it to the area where the family name was or could now be found. We visited multiple sites and John explained what was happening before and after our ancestors left. We were unable to make direct connections with ancestors but we have an appreciation of where they lived, what life was like for them, what caused them to leave and who was in control of the region. We highly recommend John as a tour guide.

  John picked up us in Dublin from our cruise ship, and took us to Belfast and the Titanic
Museum. It was a great day, John is so knowledgeable about... read more the history of Ireland and really explained it well. He kept us well entertained for the whole day.

His vehicle was immaculate and a pleasure to ride in and he had water for us for the trip. Couldn't have asked for a better guide or a better day. Thank you John. Happy to recommend him to any people looking for tours.

He is also very knowledgeable in history in general and economics. He is a very well rounded person and a pleasure to spend the day with.
