Ireland Walking Holiday Reviews - 2010

Antrim Walking Holidays

Martina Hartl & Christian Rothmann, Belgium		"We have greatly enjoyed the trip. The landscape is definitely one of the best ones we have seen so far and it is good to see that Antrim is still not crowded."

Pieter Brand & Nelleke van de Water, Netherlands		"The guesthouses were excellent and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. Our luggage was always available at the next guesthouse on time. So we were always able to change clothes on arrival."

Heather McGregor & Donna Shaunesey, USA		"The tour worked well & was a nice combination of feeling on our own, yet cared for. Antrim was beautiful, so many great things to see, the people were nice - I'd love to go back to Ireland sometime. We had a fantastic time - thanks very much!"

Lucia Peggie & Steven Anderson, Scotland		"It is great not having to worry about making all the separate accomodation bookings and these walking tours are the perfect solution for someone looking for a hassle free holiday. The organisation is foolproof!"

Eva Felipe Calero & Mercedes Garcia Gomez, Spain		"Excuse us the delay in writing back to you but we just came back from the beautiful and green Ireland! We had a great time in Antrim, we really loved it."

Beara Walking Holidays

The Guerts Family, Netherlands		"Overall we look back at a wonderful walking-experience. The nature impressed us very much and even the weather did! Now we have experienced Ireland and its friendly people we will recommend your country to others and in particular your professional services."

Silke Rust & Markus Kalkowski, Germany		"We enjoyed Ireland so much. Everything was just perfect, so beautiful, nice people everywhere and so peaceful. This was the best walking experience I´ve ever had. Thanks for everything."

Richard Chresta, Switzerland		"It was a very beautiful hike and I had a really good time. All the B&B hosts did their best to make the stay as comfortable as possible. I will personally come back..."

Adrian & Joan Millar, United Kingdom		"All guesthouses were superb. We liked the flexibility of the itineraries. The walking pack was extremely accurate and useful. We will definitely repeat our experience with your company."

The Weh Family, Germany		"Our Beara walking holiday was terrific! Brilliant organization, fantastic weather and a beautiful hike. Already thinking when we will come back and make another trip with you :)"

Dingle Walking Holidays

Rose & Raj Ramnarace, USA		"The guesthouses were uniformly very good. The ability to customize our itinerary was important and your pricing was competitive too. We were impressed with the thoughtul, friendly way that you managed our tour."

Ralf Mark & Thomas Arnold, Germany		"We decided to try an Irish Agency over a German Agency as local companies have more experience. Also, we thought your price is reasonable for the tour. The lengths of the daily walking trips were well-considered."

Rebecca Leibundgut, Switzerland		"The standard of accommodation was excellent, each guesthouse had something special. The yellow man always showed me the way, so I never got lost:-). Next time, I would walk more days, because it was so enjoyable. Thank you very much for your organization!"

Marc & Felicia Leclere, USA		"Going into these adventures relies on a lot of trust so you sometimes wonder what lies ahead. But our trust was rewarded. Everything worked as advertised. Your business is very professional and everything worked out exactly as you said it would."

Sanne Wurzer & Liesbeth Voorthuijsen, Netherlands		"The website was clear, simple and attractive, it offerered a clear overview of different kind of walks and was transparent about (fair) prices. When our last few questions were so kindly answered by you, we made up our minds to book with Hillwalk Ireland."

Kerry Walking Holidays

Matthias Klan & Susanne Wirth, Germany		"Last year we wanted to walk the Kerry Way and had a few questions which you answered very promptly. In the end we didn`t go to Ireland last year but I remembered our communication and so it was easy to decide which company we should choose."

Nancy Himpe & Virginie Tellier, Belgium		"[The walking tour] was a great way to discover Ireland. We didn't have to worry about our luggage and it's always easier if someone who knows the area, guides us to the best places. We were very satisfied with your kindness and professionalism."

Viola Oorschot, Netherlands		"Your personal experience was important for me. Hillwalk is not too commercial and good “nature behaviour” is very positive. Not all the companies had individual walks. The professional walking guidelines helped as well."

Etienne Maerien & Jeanne Pennings, Belgium		"We chose Hillwak Ireland because of the excellent organistion of the tour (every walk was different). The arrangements of the other (Belgian and Dutch) companies were not as flexible as your proposal was."

Steffi Kempfer & Max Waldes, Germany		"There were no problems with anything. Everything went well. We are sorry that we hadn't much more time in Ireland. It won't be the last time we visited the island."

Sheep's Head Walking Holidays

The Müller Family, Germany		"[The] organisation was perfect, our expectations were exceeded. We'll recommend Hillwalk Ireland to our friends."

Bud Alcock & Friends, USA		"Thanks for arranging the trip - as you can see it all went well despite a day of heavy rain and a second that nearly blew us off the mountain. But really that just adds some story to our travel."

Peter Howley, Ireland		" I chose Hillwalk Ireland due to a combination of the multiple walking routes and the flexibility offered (self guided routes etc.) I was very happy with the walking pack provided – it was very comprehensive."

Cristian van der Steen, Netherlands		"The price was good and the website looked reliable. Also, the quick e-mails received from you made a good impression. Everything was perfectly organised - even the weather was beautiful and the walks were fantastic!"

Leendert Dekker & Sibbelina van der Sneppen, Netherlands		"In general very nice and better than the average walking tours we have taken. The baggage always arrived on time."

West of Ireland Walking Holidays

Gerrit de Zoeten & Annemarieke Grinwis, Netherlands		"Connemara fis a very beautiful walking country. The desciption of the route was without any mistake. Compliments! The maps were very helpful.

Rindert Vonk, Netherlands		"The holiday I spend in West-Ireland was really nice, thanks for the good organisation of everything. You were the only company i could find covering this area in Ireland."

Cees van Duyn & Friends, Netherlands		"We had a very pleasant trip in your nice country. All went very well.

Erwan Carof & Guiton Amaelle, France		"We had an excellent time in Ireland thanks to you. We hope to try other walks there soon, maybe the Wicklow hills or Northern Ireland. You did a fantastic job with the walking notes. We could nearly walk without the map. It is impossible to get lost if you read those notes."

Wicklow Walking Holidays

Monique Hugens & Gerard Kalsbeek, Netherlands		"Enthusiastic website, reasonable price, attractive package deal in Wicklow Mountains. Our luggage was always there before we arrived. Everything went smoothly."

Rita & Rafael Vandenbergh, Belgium		"We did the Beara Way last year with Hillwalk Ireland and since this had been a very good experience, we booked another walk. We are looking forward to book another walk with you."

Jana Garbsch & Erik Dietzel, Germany		"It was very well organised, we met a lot of lovely and friendly people and we had a lot of panoramic views that you can’t get on tour by car. And the price to quality ratio was very good."

Jean Da Costa, France		"J'ai été très content de la randonnée dans le Wicklow, très beau, organisation parfaite, bonnes chambres. Même la météo était plutôt bonne. Je crois que je recommencerai cette expérience."

Ursula Hänni & Martin Schmid		"The owners of the B&B's were very friendly and helpful. The ambiance was very welcoming and the (irish) breakfasts delicious. We also appreciated the options for shortcuts or optional walking extensions for each walking day."
