Hi Tony,
I just wanted to say how much myself and Ann enjoyed your Burren walk when we visited the week before last. It was a memorable day and enhanced our holiday visit for our 25th wedding anniversary.

A special time in a magical place – a place we intend revisiting at another season. The selection of plants we saw provided a remarkable experience and Tony Kirby is an outstanding guide.

We have just returned from 2 weeks in Ireland and one of the best highlights was a fantastic Burren walking tour we took while there. In fact we participated in two of Tony Kirby’s walks in the Burren. Each lasted 2-3 hours or however long necessary… Tony is passionate about the Burren and his narrative vividly brings to life the past, present & future of this fascinating place.
We highly recommend Heart of Burren Walks. Two thumbs way up!

July 2010. We absolutely loved taking a guided 2 hour walk through the Burren in western Ireland with Tony Kirby, a wonderful naturalist and historian. We found him in the small village of Kilfenora, at the Burren Centre, about an hour southwest of Galway. He is a font of information about both natural and human history. Tony speaks passionately about the geology, flora and fauna of this extraordinary and beautiful region. The Burren is full of limestone formations, rock tombs, and amazing plants and animals – an area of fascinating and precious biodiversity. Tony is friendly, sharp, welcoming and an excellent teacher who includes his visitors’ interests in his engaging, easy walking talks. An absolute must for really understanding Ireland and getting off the tourist track

Thank you very much for a most enjoyable walk on Saturday afternoon – we all thoroughly enjoyed seeing the wonders of the Burren and your commentary was very helpful and inspiring and we loved the sprinkling of poetry every so often! We wish you a very good 2011 season and all good wishes to you and your family. Hope to be back in the Burren again before too long!

Dear Tony,
Thank you very much for the wonderful hours we spent with you in the unique Burren area. Most of the girls mentioned that the day at the Cliffs of Moher and the walk in the Burren were their personal highlights of our project week in Ireland. We really enjoyed your way of combining information and entertainment. It’s great how you can make young people interested in this unique landscape with its flora and fauna. Thanks again!

We really did enjoy the walk through the Burren with Tony. We loved the poetry and we were fascinated with the badger scratches in the rocks, being able to walk on the turlough bed, as well as the whole history of the land

A fall tour of southwest Ireland included a walking tour of the Burrens, led by walking guide, Tony Kirby. In addition to being very knowledgeable in the landscape, history and natural habitat of the area, Tony enriched the walk with stops along the way for readings from well known Irish poets. His warm, gentle character made this stop on our tour a delight and much remembered
