I’m so glad that I decided to write to you before I left for Ireland to arrange for a tour with you. Experiencing the Burren with someone who has so much knowledge and reverence for the land was a special treat for all of the women in our group. It was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Ireland.

Our Spirituality walk with Tony in June was excellent. Tony was an excellent guide – nice, knowledgeable, and willing to answer any and all questions for our varied group. We had a great time and would love to book another walk with him next year.

Hi Tony,
I wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed our spirituality walk with you in July. It was very special and I know it wasn’t something that everyone gets to see. It was such a pleasure to meet you. Your knowledge and passion for what you do is very impressive.
Thank you for one of the most memorable parts of our vacation in Ireland.

Mary and I thoroughly enjoyed the walk. We loved being back in the Burren again.
The walk was a lovely balance of flora, fauna, folklore, history, and spirituality through the eyes of the poets you quoted. Thanks again for a really wonderful day

Thanks for a great walk and the poetry and thoughts. Even though I know the area very well, I still learned new things about the lore and history on this spiritual walk. It was very inspiring, and everybody including myself enjoyed the walk! I will definitely recommend you and your walks to my friends. Till the next time…

We thoroughly enjoyed the spirituality walk to Eagle’s Rock and the kids had no problem keeping up. There were all sorts of of interesting bits of information that brought that area of the Burren alive for us. Going for a walk in the Burren is always lovely but taking one of Tony’s guided walks is a different experience entirely. I definitely recommend it!
