Myself and a group of family and friends recently did the Reeks hike with Richard and I could not recommend him enough as a guide. We were unfortunate with the weather on the day of the hike but Richard did a fantastic job of keeping spirits up and making sure no one fell behind in the challenging conditions. He also has a wealth of knowledge on the mountains and surrounding landscapes and is generally great craic! We enjoyed ourselves so much that we scheduled another hike with him for a months time!

We travelled as a group of co-workers to Kerry from Belfast for a team building trip to climb Corrán Tuathail. Originally we had planned for a local Belfast guide to accompany our groups trek up the mountain (however; Covid had other plans!) and we were left without a guide until we luckily were put in touch with Richie, who came very highly recommended. Having a local Kerry man who knows every crevice of the mountain, (who has a story for every crevice!) and who also has a wealth of experience and mountaineering/rescue qualifications to lead our climb was a massive reassurance to a number of our party who were very nervous about the trek and also were novice mountain walkers. I myself am petrified of heights and with Richie’s leadership, reassurance and the absolute patience of a saint, we all reached the summit and back down again in one piece! Richie himself walks Corrán Tuathail several times a week and knows many routes to the summit and will assess which is the safest most viable route depending on weather conditions and the group’s ability. A great day out and as challenging as the mountain is, I’ve a whole new appreciation for climbing and am keen to do more in the future. Go raibh míle maith agat a chara 🙏

I am just back from a stunning Hike with Richard from Morrison Tours up Purple and Tomies Mountain. We had a truly fantastic time and Richard and his team (Vivienne, Lorcan) were the ultimate professionals and took excellent care of our group. The service they provide is truly 5 star, very personal, highly competent and very attentive. I would highly recommend Morrison Tours to anyone (individual, group or corporate) to anyone visiting the Kerry area.

Richard and his team safely guided 60 of us up and down Carrauntoohil in August. No matter the size of your group you will be taken care of, encouraged and supported. It's my 3rd time out on the mountains with Richard and definitely not the last. Always in good humour, masterful in giving a personal touch. Strongly recommend Morrison Tours!

I have been on several walks guided by Richard and his fantastic team at Morrison Tours. Every trip has been such a wonderful and enjoyable experience. Richard is very knowledgeable, personable, and engaging and has a sense of humor to rival any comedian! We just completed another fantastic hike at the weekend in Killarney and I have booked up for several more trips with Morrison Tours over the coming months. Can’t recommend these guys highly enough!

I have had the absolute pleasure of being on another walking hike with Richard & his team of professional guides. We are a local financial services company based in Kerry & we engaged the services of Richard and his team to take about 40 of us on a hike from Killarney over the mountain into Kenmare (18km). The Morrison team are fantastic, very personal service, very conversational and with a forensic attention to detail & your safety. I would highly recommend them to any company looking to take your team out for a well-being / team building day out. Happy to talk to you if you want more details. Barry O’Sullivan @ Fexco

I was a member of a team building event hosted by Richard Morrison. It was something wonderful. We have played interesting games. After that we went hiking along Lake Killarney. Although the weather was rainy, our group was very pleased with the walk. Richard's captivating stories and amazng nature left a wonderful impression of this hike.
Thank you very much.

Richard was an amazing host for this tour! He was very accommodating when I needed an earlier start time for the hike. The conditions were extremely challenging, but Richard was encouraging the entire way and great company. Would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Richard to anyone looking for a guided hike. I would also consider myself above average fitness level…and I did consider doing this hike alone but I am so glad that I stuck with Richard for this.

I had the pleasure of climbing 2 mountains this summer with Richard and his team. We climbed Purple mountain in June and Carrantoohil in August. His professional, humour and encouragement were second to none and made the treks achievable and enjoyable. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

It is not often I am moved to write a review whilst I am travelling however credit where credit is due, my day with Richard of Morrison Tours has been a real highlight of my trip so far. Richard guided me along the McGillycuddy Reeks Horseshoe a route with continuous spectacular views throughout . I have often been hesitant to use a guide fearing a certain guide / client awkwardness but I really had nothing to worry about. Walking with Richard was a delight and was like walking with an old friend. He was informative, easygoing but diligent and took extreme care in ensuring a safe and enjoyable day in the mountains. It was nice to be able to let go and not have to worry about route finding and just take it all in. Thank you Richard and Ann Marie I shall definitely return and leave Ireland with very fond memories of this beautiful part of the world you live and work in!
