Keiron was awesome! We enjoyed every minute of our tour. He was early to pick us up, and his van was very comfortable, including plenty of water. In speaking with him he found out we were golfers, so he asked if we would like to add in a stop to Port Rushmore, where the 2025 Open was held to pop the pro shop for some shopping (yes, please!!) Loved hearing that he was the driver for one of the Game of Thrones characters during the run of the show. He shared interesting stories, not in a boastful way. It was during the last part of the tour, when it came time to discuss The Troubles in greater detail that Keiron really shone. He has probably told these stories thousands of times, but the emotion he shared telling of his and his family’s personal experiences was heartbreaking. I would absolutely recommend him as a tour guide.
