Testimonial

What our clients say

“There were so many fantastic aspects to the hike with Paul . Given his expertise, he took us on trails I would never have found otherwise. The views were breathtaking - a real privilege to see them. His knowledge of the flora and fauna of the area made the hike all the more enjoyable. Paul's passion for Irish heritage is palpable and I still remember many of the interesting stories he told us of ancient Ireland along the way. "Paul's easy manner allowed the group to gel effortlessly. The experience was invigorating - four hours away from the world, away from my phone. I felt rejuvenated and refreshed by taking the time out.”
