Past Traveler Feedback

"Wow…what a trip. Had such a great time. The beauty of the country is indescribable unless seen up close in person. I am happy I used Ireland Walk Bike Hike. Everything was planned out perfectly. All the hikes we did were great. It was nice having a guide knowledgeable of everything around us. I’m already looking at what trip I want to do next!"
TONI T.

"I wholeheartedly recommend this company and would go with them again without hesitation. Our guide could not have been more perfect for group. The routes we took were stunningly beautiful and the Irish people could not have been more warm and welcoming. I would use this company for sure in the future to organize a trip for my local group. Can't wait to go back to Ireland!"
NICOLE L.

Having watched many travelers flash through Ireland, founder Linda Woods wanted to provide a more slow-paced, immersive approach to experiencing the country. “My aim was to slow people down so that they could really sink their feet into the soul of the country, meet the locals and discover what makes Ireland and the Irish tick.”
