Tour with McCarthy's Party and you will discover many interesting places and meet some great people ! - We decided to do tours instead of renting a vehicle and so glad we did. The 3 tours we did were informative and the drivers, with their stories and knowledge of the area , made the trips very enjoyable. From reserving , to being picked up and the driving around was done professionally and courteous . We got to meet some local people who shared with us their stories and knowledge of the areas we were in, and we thoroughly enjoyed this . We also recommend these tours with McCarthy's - Outports and Lucky Rocks and Bird Island (with O'Briens Whale and Bird Tours) and the Irish Loop to Ferryland.

A Great Experience - This is a must do tour if you can! The Irish Loop was beautiful and the tour so informative. Spending time at the Avalon Colony and lunch at the Tetley Tea Room was a highlight. Getting to meet one of the locals - after tasting some yummy homemade muffins - makes this tour quite special. As a solo traveler, I was able to share this experience with others. The tour guide (and trainees) was so wonderful to speak with. By the end of this tour, I felt like it was a road trip with friends.
