Walking Tours
Our Guided and Self-Guided Walking Holidays are a truly different experience, with people from a variety of countries, joining together with the same common interest: to enjoy walking in the Emerald Isle.
Groups are made of 6-14 individually booked people and are escorted by one of our experienced Irish guides who ensure the smooth running of your holiday from start to finish.
Your guide will also have a wealth of knowledge about the area through which you walk each day and on life in Ireland – both past and present.
The ambience created with a guided group is fantastic and whether you are on your own or with friends, the international mix always proves a tremendous success.
Each walking day we hike 12 to 22kms a day and the maximum height is 600 metres. We enjoy our daily our picnic lunch in the open air.
The evening meal is either in a selection of excellent local restaurants, pubs or prepared by your host in your accommodation.
Accommodation each evening is in quality B&Bs in en-suited rooms.
