On the long, coastal drive of South Donegal's Wild Atlantic Way stands Sliabh Liag, Europe's most accessible sea cliffs. On this tour, I will guide you along part of the county's 1200km of rugged coastline, traveling through some of the most remote villages in Ireland. On your trip you will learn about our rich maritime history at Killybegs, Ireland's premier harbour. At Muckross Head you'll gaze across the Donegal Bay towards the iconic Benbulben mountain in County Sligo, where our nation's greatest poet W. B. Yeats rests in peace. I will take you high up Bunglas, to view the spectacular Sliabh Liag (Slieve League) sea cliffs and allow for a short hike towards the top for what will leave you breathless in more ways than one. Afterwards, we'll step back in time with a visit to Glencolmcille Folk Village and learn about how life was a century or two before. As our day ends with a journey through the glaciated valley, Glengesh Pass you will see the remnants of the last ice age.

It's grand when the tour comes to an end and you are happy, because it was such an marvelous experience, and sad, because you don't want it to be over. I so enjoyed every kilometer and every bit of conversation. Henry is what I would craft in the making of a tour guide: deep knowledge of the land, wry humor, a storyteller / chronicler / narrator / poet.

We were looking to explore Donegal on our own utilizing two rental cars for our group in hopes of saving some money on that part of the trip. We came across Donegal Tour Guide and reached out to Henry. After a brief conversation, we decided to book three days with Henry. This was easily the best experience of our time in Ireland… Not that the remaining days of our trip were anything short of spectacular. Henry was timely in communication prior to arriving and helped us feel comfortable with what our plans were.
On day one, once the group was in the van, Henry made sure he had an itinerary that checked everyone’s list. He helped coordinate the time and place for our son to propose to his now fiancée… the top of Sliabh Liag cliffs. He provided historical stories and great conversation while escorting us through his beautiful country. We would never been able to experience Ireland in this immersive way on our own, let alone find some of the places we went with Henry.
We hope to return to Ireland again and see parts that we did it have the time to really get to. We will definitely book time with Donegal Tour Guide when we come back.
We can not thank Henry enough for the service, professionalism and genuine kindness he showed our family. It truly was impactful and a lifelong memory

Where to start...communication with the company is great! I was able to either talk to or email Henry and receive an immediate reply. He was able to answer all my questions to help my group to prepare for a great day. We were a group of 6 on a cruise around Ireland. We were picked up promptly at the appointed time at the cruise port in a very clean Mercedes SUV. Once introductions were made we were off on a journey across Donegal with an extremely knowledgeable person that really loves his home. Henry is a plethora of information. He driving was wonderful. We went to so many wonderful places, all of which he could give a story to. I can not say enough positive about the service he provided and the tour he gave. What I can say is the next time I am in Ireland I will definitely reach out for his services again. If you want to learn about Ireland in comfort and enjoy the day you should try this tour.
