Traveled with Paul in the Nephin Begs for a 2 day trek last year. The accommodation that Paul arranged was top notch (with a drying room) the breakfast was great too. We had a mixed bag of weather & Paul showed excellent navigation skills when there was very poor visibility. Paul had great knowledge and passed it on easily to us. We had stunning views across Clew bay and saw Mweelrea in the far distance.We’ll be back for a longer trip next time!

What an amazing trip! We spent 6 days exploring Sheeps Head Way. We booked our trip with Bespoke Treks and Hikes and they provided a guide for our 6 day trek. Though it is completely possible to self-guide this route, we decided on booking a guide as it would give us complete peace of mind. When we were there we realised that this also allowed us to get to the top of the mountains which was awesome! Sheeps Head Way is a beautiful walk on the Sheeps head Peninsula in West Cork. It is a must visit place if you enjoy outdoors, walking, quiet and nature. It is a most beautiful place to visit. Also our guides choice of B&B accommodation was superb with really lovely hosts. I highly recommend this trip. I would definitely book with Bespoke Treks and Hikes again for Sheeps Head or another trek

Been trekking small time for a few years now and decided to put it in the hands of someone who knows the business for a wider experience. Have to say I was not disappointed. Been on two weekend trips with Bespoke now, had the best time ever. Accommodation on both was really nice.Everything we needed, nice food, good craic. We were looked after really well by Paul. This guy has in my opinion an exceptional knowledge of local folklore, legend and fauna. I’ve never heard anything like it. From Cuchulainn to ghost stories and myths, down to the small pieces of ivy growing on the ground. Unbelievable. The actual hike time seemed to fly by because our minds were kept occupied constantly. He’s also quite handy at First Aid. Dealt with a twisted knee for me very nicely indeed. We were taken to some brilliant spots where the views were spectacular. All in all I cannot fault this service and would recommend it to anyone. Must try.

I highly recommend Bespoke Trek. I went on a few climbs led by Paul , some of them were under unbelievable ⛈conditions 😁 when one of my boots 👞was nearly lost in the muck. He proved himself as a very professional leader, with ethical and spiritual attitude towards nature and great orienteering skills. He picked the best routes for us, it was well appreciated as we loved the picturesque landscapes of mountain lakes and snowy peaks. ⛰ Leading big or small groups Paul always looked after every single climber, regardless of their pace or level of fitness. 🙈Also everyone in our group enjoyed his sense of humour. 🙃 😄

I recently went for a great mountain hike with Bespoke Treks. It was great to get away from the busy crowds milling around Glendalough and get out to the scenic rolling hills of Wicklow. Paul (our super guide) took myself and some friends along the Derrybawn ridge to Mullacor then across to the Spinc. Paul’s excellent knowledge of the outdoors also extended to giving us tips on hiking and sharing his experience of the Wicklow Mountains. We felt at ease with Paul guiding us safely through the mountains imparting his knowledge on how best to negotiate the trails, and his calm and confident approach set a great tone for our adventure. As for the views, they have to be experienced to be believed, and by going with Bespoke Treks we definitely got the best views including seeing Lugnaquila. Cant recommend highly enough, you’re in great hands with Paul and Bespoke Treks!
