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!

Hi Tony. I really enjoyed your Spirituality themed walk on Sunday, Oct 10th in the Burren. It was a lovely mix of information from the geology and environmental aspect to the historical / spiritual aspect. It is great to have someone who can combine the lot and open our eyes to what our landscape itself can teach us.

Thank you Tony for a great morning. The walk was enjoyable, made easy by the informed talks at our stops along the way. Who would have thought that such a distance could be covered so pleasurably. We will be back again.

We took a great morning Spiritual Walk in the Burren with Tony Kirby. He’s very knowledgeable about ecological issues as well as history. A great guide to the Burren!

I had a great morning doing Tony’s Eagles Rock Burren Spirituality walk. Tony was an excellent guide and brought the landscape alive with his knowledge on all aspects of the walk: the rocks and hills , the flowers & trees, the old customs and the wells, the local farming and history, the legends and the saints – and of course the poetry recitals!
