点评:Upon my arrival in Portlaoise on 9 September 2024, I searched for a same-day private tour and found John Hayes of Green Island Tours. He graciously agreed to meet me at my hotel that same afternoon (it was his day off!), where he called a reliable taxi driver, and off we went! John is a local who knows the area and its history well; he was efficient, experienced, and friendly. The Rock of Dunamase is often overlooked by tourists, but there’s an advantage to that: no crowds, plenty of time to relax, explore, and enjoy the scenery, and let one’s imagination run free. John took me on a short walk down the road for a different view of the castle that was delightful. Other bonuses were the Round Tower of Timahoe and Treacy’s (on The Heath), one of the oldest traditional pubs in Ireland. It was a gorgeous day and a perfect afternoon.
