Walking Tours Ireland
Ireland still retains a wonderful range of old paths and roads which are ideal for walking tours and have not been invaded by mass organised activity tourism. Walk through quiet valleys, mountains, boglands and by the wild Atlantic ocean; discover an Ireland off the beaten path.
For those who wish to enhance their sense of discovery with local knowledge a guided walking tour is ideal. Experienced local guides help you discover the real Ireland - it's unique culture, music and breathtaking scenery. We want you to not only enjoy the finest walking tours in Ireland but to experience the 'craic' - the Irish way of having a truly good time. Groups are small and friendly, with an average of 12-16 walkers. You can come with a friend or as a single - all ages are welcome. Many of the guides speak German or French and we will gladly arrange for a guide with a particular language for specific dates - please ask for details.
For those who prefer not to join a guided walking tour, a Self-guided Walking Tour or a Walk & Drive Tour provide the freedom to explore Ireland independently, but with a full back up service - airport transfers, luggage transportation and comprehensive route notes and maps are all provided.
