Testimonials

Fergus is amazing!!!!

Fergus was an absolutely spectacular tour guide! He was personable, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience so enjoyable from start to finish. He took us to some truly beautiful spots that we never would have found on our own, and his insights made each stop even more meaningful. We genuinely loved spending time with him—he made the day feel relaxed, fun, and unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend Fergus more highly!

Private Tour of the Cliffs of Moher (and more)

Had a wonderful private tour with Fergus that was filled with beautiful sites, great conversation, and a healthy dose of laughs and banter over our 7-8 hours together. My mom, wife and I could not have asked for a better experience or host. We thank Fergus for sharing a fun day with us and showing us the natural beauty of western Ireland!

Private tour with Fergus

We had the best day with Fergus! He showed us the Cliffs of Moher, Burren and sooooo many other places. We also had an amazing lunch at a pub he suggested! He is so friendly and knows so much about Ireland! We went to many places that we would have never known about if it wasn’t for him. We also had the best weather which made the day even more enjoyable!
