Our group of four women contracted with Southwest Ireland walks for a private guided tour of the Dingle, Beara and Ring of Kerry peninsulas. Our guide, Linda, planned our itinerary after carefully listening to our preferences. She was with us for the entire week, driving us skillfully to our daily hikes while making the history and lore of Ireland come... More

Dear Ladies, Linda is back out guiding on the hills this week but she really does appreciate your kind words and positive feedback. I think she enjoyed the tour as much as anyone. Of course, you are most welcome to return again. More

May, 2013, my husband and I did the self guided Wicklow Way tour, organized by SWW and loved it. The trail was well marked and our instruction sheet accurate. Each town to which we travelled had a unique personality, with very different shops and restaurants. Food was great and we had no difficulty finding gluten free food. And we loved... More

We worked with Southwest Walks for a self-guided walk in Northern Ireland (Antrim Glens and Causeway Coast, including a day on Rathlin Island). The itinerary was perfect, each day different and interesting. The accommodations were clean and comfortable in small B&B's in the villages. The instructions and paths were easy to follow. They also transported us to and from Belfast.... More

In August 2012 I joined a walking week with SWWI for the third time during one year and what a lovely week it was. Experienced the beauty of Donegal with places like the pilgrim route of Glencolumbcille, Slieve League, Mt. Errigal, Bloody Foreland and Horn Head. The walks were from easy to challenging but every one of them was enjoyable... More

SWWI arranged a private two day tour of Cape Clear and Sherkin Island in June 2012. We were a three generation family group of twelve, ages 13-78. As Americans it was wonderful to see where my great grandparents lived before they emigrated around 1910. The lodging and meals were all well done and everything went off without a hitch. We... More

No tour company can be held responsible for the weather. That's a given. And this has been one of the rainiest summers on record in Ireland. Nevertheless, especially on a guided walking tour, it's reasonable to expect that the company and its guides will be more helpful in difficult circumstances than SWWI was. Most of the trails were super-saturated with... More

YES we do agree fully with Fred that this was the wettest summer on record for a Walking Holiday in Ireland and we are sorry to hear that the underfoot conditions, of which we have NO control, make for a holiday that he was not 100% happy with. We try very hard but the elements were against us this year,... More

Our group of 9 family members took a 7-day tour with SWWI in May, 2012. We were based near Dingle and in Doolin. We all had a great time and felt we were very well treated by everyone we met. Every single arrangement for the week went off without a hitch. We were met at the Tralee train station, transported... More

I have traveled with SWWI twice, once in 2004 on the Dingle Peninsula walk and once in 2011 in Northern Ireland on the Glen Arms/Giants Causeway walk, and can't imagine a better way to really see Ireland. Both walks have been guided tours of small groups of 10-15 people with daily walks along coastal cliffs with amazing views, between fuschia... More

This past September we walked the Ring of Kerry guided walk with SouthWestWalks Ireland. This was our third walk with them and once again it was a wonderful experience. Previously we had walked the Dingle Peninsula and the Beara Peninsula. There is something about Ireland that seems to beckon us to return each year. One of the main reasons we... More
