''Over the past few days, our tour group of oversea buyers had the pleasure of having Eamon as our coach driver. Eamon was fantastic from start to finish, showing great professionalism and Irish craic - a brilliant combination! A lovely surprise on the trip was when Eamon revealed he brought his accordion along with him and after some persuasion he played us some tunes! Thanks again Eamon, brilliant trip!''
