One of the best guides to hike the Connamara trails that no one knows about! - So we did not do a full day hike at the national park (despite the caption). Martin met us in Ballynahinch and took us on a hike that suited our mood (not muddy but with stunning views) and energy on the spot - not the full day in the park - and on trails that are not well known. So thoughtful and really showed his in-depth knowledge of the area and ability to craft something that we enjoyed. I would HIGHLY recommend.

Half day hike on Lackavrea Mountain - Msrtin guided me and my husband on a half day hike to the summit of Lackavrea Mountain after querying us as to our interests and abilities. He was thorougly professional, prepared, informative and accommodating. We recommend him without hesitation. We experienced beautiful vistas and discovered some hiking abilities we didn't know we had! Both of us thank Martin for one of the highlights of our visit to Connemara.

Connemara hike - Martin was amazing. He picked us up at our hotel and took us directly to Connemara National park where we spent the majority of our time. The hike was breathtaking, the views incredible, and the company great :) Martin was thoughtful, a wonderful guide, and an amazing hiking companion for the day. He embodies the warmth and friendliness that is Ireland and his company was truly a pleasure.

Great day out with friends - We had a great day out with Martin exploring Connemara. Pickup from our accommodation in Galway was so convenient as we had no transport. The scenic drive to Connemara was stunning and the sheepdog demonstration was a blast!
We had a great lunch in Leenane before the hike on Diamond Hill in Connemara National Park. Views were amazing even on a cloudy day. Would highly recommend for a great day out for friends or family.

Excellent family day out - Wow what an an amazing hike and stunning scenery including views of Kylemore Abbey on top of Diamond Hill. This was a highlight for me as I love the history of the Abbey. Kids really enjoyed the sheep dog demo and the puppies were a big hit. A super fun, healthy day out with the kids and no complaining are we there yet for a change 🤪🙂. Our guide Martin was engaging and very knowledgeable about the area. Would definitely recommend this tour. Five star 🙂
