The sights of Southern Ireland

My husband and I spent a seven-night trip with our guide Hugh and others from an Australian walking group travelling from and returning to Dublin incorporating five walks of varying difficulty. The daily walks were tailored to the varying abilities in the group and lunches pre-arranged. Accommodation and meals were adequate to excellent without a large amount of travel involved and the following sights visited: Dingle coastal walk, Mountain Brandon, Lakes of Killarney, Gap of Dunloe, Cliffs of Moher.
Nothing was too much trouble for the knowledgeable Hugh in who I had plenty of confidence. I can recommend this company who would quickly look after any issues.

We've had an amazing time ....

We've had an amazing time walking, trekking and hiking with Hilltop Treks through south west Ireland taking in gorgeous Dingle Peninsula. We travelled as a large group which has its challenges of course but under the care and attention of Terry and Hugh we all had a very memorable trip with many happy moments. Accommodation was very good, and scenery along the way breathtaking. A fair level of fitness IS required especially if hiking up Mount Brandon. Definitely worth it though. Well done and sincere thanks to Terry and Hugh for making our first trip to Ireland so enjoyable.
