Tony, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the Burren walk a couple of weeks ago. I came away with a much better understanding of the history, geology and culture of western Ireland than I possibly could have gotten otherwise. Thanks for a fascinating, informative, inspiring walk.

Just to say a very belated thanks for the wonderful walk over Christmas. St. Colman’s Well was the highlight along with the very lengthy stone wall.

Tony,
My study abroad group from Kennesaw State University took your walking tour of the Burren on our trip several weeks ago. I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful tour! You were very informative and entertaining and I know it made the list of our favorite places. I would recommend you to anyone!

Dear Tony,

Thank you for the wonderful guided walk this morning. Guided is a perfect word to describe what you do – you are a gifted guide not only to what is present, alive and beautiful all around us today, but a guide to the past not only in the holy wells, ancient churches and monuments, but to the spirit of our ancestors and their groping for meaning and understanding in this world. The poetry was so appropriate and touching and lunch at the Burren Wine Cafe was the perfect way to end a perfect day! Thank you.

I spent three amazing, unforgettable days in the Burren with Tony Kirby as our guide on the Ruah programme. His depth of knowledge and love of the area, his easy way of communicating and his deep spirituality made a deep impression on me. I learned so much. I can’t wait to get back and hear more.

Walking in the Burren is a great pleasure at anytime. However, a walk with Tony adds new dimensions such as the dry stone walls and the barely visable ridges on hillsides marking long gone farming practices, All this combined with good walking – wonderful!
