Tony was a great guide, good-humoured and he gave us various interesting snippets about the landscape.
We climbed Mulloughmore Hill which was demanding enough.
It is truly majestic and we felt a great sense of achievement.
A great day out!

Just a few words on behalf of the Tuesday Walking Group to thank you Tony for leading our walk in the Burren.
Although the weather on that day was a little wet to say the least, we all were amazed at the flora and the remarkable unique landscape of the limestone pavements on the walk up to Mullaghmore. Your knowledge of the area was extensive and you were able to impart this information with enthusiasm so that it was easily understood.
It was a memorable occasion for our group and set the seal on what was a very enjoyable holiday.

I hillwalk in the Burren from time to time but this was the first occasion I took a guided tour. Tony opened our eyes to the Burren and its flora. He helped us feel its beauty and not just admire the scenery. I brought my teenage daughter along with us and she surprised us all by how much she enjoyed the walk – she now wants a pair of hillwalking boots! Tony is a gifted tour guide and the lines of poetry further enhanced a beautiful day.

The day we spent with you on the Burren was the highlight of our visit to Ireland. Thank you for such a
gracious and insightful tour.
