Summary: Our hope for our trip to Ireland was to immerse ourselves in the landscape and quietude of the Wild Atlantic Way -- and this tour with Kevin fit the bill and then some. The gentle pace allowed time for silent reflection along the amazing coastline, as well as time for Kevin to share extensively about the Irish language, history, and geography. His sense of humor and above-and-beyond kindness made us feel right at home. A *million* thanks to him and Claire for helping make this walk happen for us!

Summary: My daughter and I had a private guided walking tour - just the guide and the two of us. WHAT A GREAT HIKE! The tour guide was so knowledgeable about the area and the history of the region - as well as fun facts such as movie scenes that were filmed in the area.
