Every client receives a feedback survey when they return from their guided, self guided or tailor made vacations with us. Once completed the review is published on our website just as soon as our database updates. The little touches and details are important to us and where issues are raised we make positive changes to our trips to improve your experience.

That’s why we read each of our client’s reviews and although we don’t respond to all of them, if it’s glowing feedback then we get the satisfaction of helping to make your vacations truly memorable.

Pre-Trip Service

I so enjoyed working with Aran and Sinead. I received answers to my questions in a timely manner and appreciated their friendly responses. I wish I could have met some of the staff?

Trip Comments

As I am sure you have heard our trip had to cancel or rearrange the whole trip due to an Atlantic storm that settled over the area. I can't say enough about Kevin and the office staff who pulled off all the changes and substitutes. Kevin knows so much about this area of Ireland and has many contacts from his years guiding and his own studies and research in the area. And who could say no to Kevin? It seemed that he was chatting up friends and saying hey I have a group of 6 travelers - could we come have a cup of tea with you while you show us the sights? In reality I know he and the office staff were working furiously to create memorable experiences for us and that they were successful. Fortunately our group was mature and rolled with the changes so it turned out well. I can't imagine being stuck with crabby people on a trip like this! So Kevin and the fellow travelers were a trip highlight. For me personally, the walk in the old growth forest of Killarney was magical. I could envision folks of yore collecting plants, hunting deer and fishing salmon in this habitat- and telling themselves stories that have come down to us. Really loved Clare Island and John Holden - this should be included in all tours such as ours. And I learned so much about sea weed with John- even bought some from him. People like both John's add so much dimension to the trip. I really felt like I was getting a true wildlife experience without having to hike to the top of every mountain! My sister and I visited the Burren after the tour and I think all trips should include a guided walk with Gordon D'Arcy. He has such a rich, deep knowledge and love for the Burren - birds, plant life, culture and history.

Your Guide

Kevin- you were a great guide, story teller and I certainly felt cared for and that you took a personal interest in each of us. Your deep knowledge of all things wild was evident, and I think you enjoyed showing us your beloved Ireland and seeing how interested we were in it ( ie you never tired of our many questions!). Your best story was of Molly the rescued sea turtle, and I know I will never forget her. Thanks for working so hard to " rescue" our trip from the bad weather!

The Bottom Line

I think I have covered most of this already but maybe think outside the box about wild experiences future travelers might have- be it birding, night drives where mammals such as fox, pine Martens and badgers ( I know I am asking a lot!) could be seen. Also a stop at Lorge Chocolatier must be mandatory.

I can’t describe how comfortable I felt dealing with wilderness Ireland from the beginning to the end. The client is truely their first and most important priority. The hikes that were chosen for our trip were out of this world incredible. Being a cautious hiker of average experience , It is hard to believe the beautiful scenery and paths I hiked through. I touched Ireland with my feet , but Ireland touched my heart with her beautiful people and glorious land ( and sheep).

The Bottom Line

A great trip! Ireland is a beautiful country and the hikes through Killarney and Dingle confirmed that. Even with less than desirable weather conditions - it is Ireland! - the conditions made it that much more memorable. We were still able to see great views throughout the hike (except at the very top of the two mountains, unfortunately).
