1st-time traveler Dorthea, traveled in May 2025

Absolutely loved this tour. Slieve League was definitely my favorite hike followed by Carrauntoohill. The hikes are definitely challenging and appropriate footwear and rain gear is essential. Diarmuid was an excellent guide whose positive energy was really infectious.
