Go Visit Ireland Testimonials
Kerry Coast Cycling
This was my seventh Tour with “Go Visit Ireland” and my second time round the “Ring of Kerry”. Once again I had a fantastic holiday. The accommodation varied from good to excellent.
The trip was well thought out and most of the cycling was done on very quiet backroads, where possible. The route instructions were clear and precise and easy to follow. The luggage transfer went off without a hitch.
I will certainly be back again, even though I have now completed all the offered Independent cycle tours, cycling in Ireland is a must for every hobby cyclist. For most people cycling on the left might feel strange. However, as most of the time you´re on quiet roads and the Irish motorists seem to be quite considerate towards cycliststhere is no need to be apprehensive. All you need to bring is a reasonable amount of fitness as there are a few small hills to climb, no matter what tour you take.
I´ll be 68 this year and, as yet, have not had to dismount and push!
Finally, I can´t think of a better way to see Ireland it´s wonderful countryside and culture. Don´t be put off by the weather, in my seven trips (July/August) I´ve only had a total of 3 days of rain, the rest was ideal cycling weather.

Hidden Kerry
Very enjoyable week with an excellent guide. Scenery breathtaking and we were fairly lucky with the weather.

I took the “Hidden Kerry” hiking tour in June 2014. It was a superb trip with amazing hikes among the hills on the Kerry Peninsula.
Although I did not think it possible, each hike was better than the previous one! Our guide, Frank Walsh, was very professional, personable, exceptionally knowledgeable, and extremely attentive to the needs of each hiker. Although the scenery itself was worth the trip, all along the way, Frank talked about Irish culture, history and geology which made our hikes even more fascinating. I have been on other hiking tours with other companies and this was, by far, the best – as well as the most economical.
The first 4 nights, we spent in Glenbeigh, a quaint Irish country town, and stayed in a spartan, but perfectly adequate, Inn. The last 3 nights were in a luxurious hotel in Killarney and it was quite nice to be pampered a bit after hiking in the National Park. We found the food everywhere to be delicious and the Guinness to be delightful!
I highly recommend this company and this tour. I would love to return and take another hiking trip to a different part of Ireland.

The hiking routes were excellent, well chosen for variety of landscape, beautiful scenery, uphill, downhill and level, rocky, boggy and smooth. The guide was excellent. I have been on several week long hiking trips and have had over 30 different guides and Ulrich is by far one of the best. A real asset for Go Visit Ireland. I would also add that the company contact for booking my trip and sending information was very helpful and friendly.
