"Circuit très bien, de superbes paysages, un accueil parfait des Irlandais, les randos étaient bien calibrées, l'ambiance était vraiment superbe".

TRANSLATION: "Very good route, superb countryside, a 'perfect' Irish welcome. The walks were well measured, the ambiance (in the group) was particularly good".

Loretta & Ceesjos - Beara Self-Guided Walk - June 2010


"We had a wonderful holiday. The tour was well organized and the walks were beautiful. The notes were fine... although you did not really need them because the waymarking was so good. James, thank you for your enlightening e-mails and overall commitment. Good luck with Hillwalk!"

Loretta & Ceesjos, Netherlands

Erin & Chris - Dingle Self-Guided Walk - Sept 2010


Erin and Chris came to Dingle in early September. From their photos, it appears that they had some extremely unusual weather! Here's what Erin had to say about their walk:

"My boyfriend and I did the Dingle Way 5 day self-guided walk. The map and directions were perfect - in our 5 days, the directions never misled us.
This self-guided tour was amazing -- our luggage arrived at each B&B magically....no worries. We carried one backpack between the two of us. We had amazing hosts at our B&Bs and James at HIllwalk Ireland organized our trip seamlessly....almost like the wizard behind the curtain. He custom-arranged our hillwalk so that we could have a rest day before we ran the Dingle Marathon. On the rest day, we took a ferry to the Blasket Islands which were stunning. I would love to do another hillwalk in the future and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking to get out of the city and enjoy Ireland for its natural beauty and warm people."
