Our tour - Loving Ireland! (from 27 April to 3rd May))
Our tour (from 27 April to 3rd May), led by Paddy Fahy, was outstanding from start to finish! Paddy was a great communicator, very knowledgeable about Irish history, flora and fauna, topography - almost everything! He recounted family stories that brought the history of the country to life. He listened to his group and was very flexible in making a few detours to accommodate the interests of our group.
Most of the hotels in which we stayed were very comfortable and some were quite quaint. The food was very good across the board and the meals at the Gougane Barra Hotel (ESPECIALLY THE DINNER!) were world class. Helped with wonderful weather, all of the sites, the hikes and visits to the historical sites were very interesting and meaningful. The several hikes and the two activities (horseback riding and biking) WERE CHALLENGING BUT ULTIMATELY VERY SATISFYING for a couple of 68 year-olds!
