Amazing South Donegal Tour
Henry was great about making this tour for US. We saw and did things you wouldn’t do on a group your. We went into a local hand-knitters home, had tea and visited. Went to Maghera Beach, stopped at roadside stops for photos. Spent time at Slieve League and Glendesh Pass. Highly recommend doing a private tour w Henry!
My husband and I were touring Ireland via a cruise ship and 3 ports were cancelled due to inclement weather and substituted with other cites, the last one was Greencastle. I was scrambling to find something to do just like all the other passengers and we were so grateful to have found Henry. Henry picked us up at the port and we immediately started our wonderful day sightseeing some breathtaking views of North Ireland. Henry is such a delight, he is very knowledgeable, very compassionate and a great sense of knowing just what the tourist want to see and do. I highly recommend any of the tours that Henry has, you will not be disappointed.
We spent a week with Henry and made a circle tour from Dublin, to Galway, to Kinsale in the south, then to Waterford and back to Dublin. Henry managed to work in and advise us on all the sites we wanted to visit. His assistance in managing the timing of our travel between locations was outstanding. He was also very knowledgeable, as you would expect, but more importantly very interesting in the way he informed us of his beloved country. We wanted a rather laid back tour which we achieved, but we also saw many interesting locations and he gave us time to explore. His driving was exceptional as was his coach. It was always spotless (even between stops he cleaned it). He’s a personable and well-informed guide. Our group ranged in age from 40 to 74 and we all enjoyed this tour which was only made better by using the services of Donegal Tour Guide. We all agreed we highly recommend this company and Henry specifically.
Without a doubt, my day out touring with Henry was the highlight of my trip to Ireland. I traveled to Donegal with a mission in mind – to spend a day experiencing the area around Lough Swilly and Inch Island as my mom’s family may have done before coming to America. Several decades earlier, I had helped my mom locate her last few very elderly relatives who stayed and it meant the world to her. With that memory, I wanted to return to gain a deeper context for the stories of my mom’s family.
Henry was amazing! He very thoughtfully considered my objective and came up with a plan that took us up to Grianana Aileach first for the incredible vista across Lough Swilly to Lough Foyle and from Inch Island across to Derry – where my mom’s cousins were from. The view was nothing short of majestic, and its impact will stay with me for a very long time. Then on to Inch itself for a drive through while I captured video of life as it is today on the island.
Later in our day when Henry mentioned he had worked on documentaries, I wasn’t surprised. His talent and expertise set the stage for me to experience a personal and very meaningful documentary of my family’s history in Donegal.
Henry had great suggestions to follow after we headed north. I loved the town of Buncrana and learned quite a bit at the Doagh famine village. The Magic Road on the way to Malin Head was unique, and of course the scenery was grand at Fort Dunree, at the Star Wars movie site, and at Malin Head. Henry was very patient (hello – husbands out there!) as I took my time absorbing and capturing the incredible beauty at each stop.
Plus, it was just a lot of fun to ride with Henry and catch up on the issues of the day in contemporary Ireland. My most recent trip had been in 2018, so I have a small perspective on how it has changed over the decades and I’m always interested in being properly informed by the people who are living it day to day.
If you make the effort to visit Donegal, you would be remiss in not relying on Henry’s expertise to thoroughly enjoy Donegal!
Indispensable
Henry is a godsend to people like us who don’t like to drive on holidays. With public transport almost non-existent on Inishowen, his service is much appreciated. We had a lovely day with him. Would recommend to anybody who prefer scenery to the dashboard on their holidays.
“Henry is amazing. He was professional and very informative. We will definitely be back to see the places we didn’t manage to see this time. I highly recommend his services.”
Fantastic Tour with Henry
The Tour with Henry has been fantastic. I have seen a lot of the landscape from Donegal. Henry has given me important information of the area from Donegal. I have also Seen the Fanad Light House and this was my highlight on my vacation.Henry is a fantastic Tour Guide with important information and he was very helpful. When I came Back to Donegal i would book again a Tour with Henry.
“What a great experience! Highly recommended. Henry arrived on the minute and collected us at our hotel. His vehicle is clean, super comfortable and cool (it was a very hot day). Setting out on our tour, Henry made sure we were comfortable, asked if we had any requests and off we went. I appreciated him going off the beaten path sometimes to show us beautiful, breathtaking sights like Malin Beg. He has an excellent knowledge of Donegal, the community and the culture, and shared that throughout. Henry had arranged a great picnic lunch for us as well which we enjoyed at Sliabh Liag. We will definitely be booking a future tour with Henry. Thank you!”
Donegal Tour
Henry is an amazing tour guide. My mom and I had a blast. He is extremely knowledgeable about history and the history of Donegal. The tour was also super exciting and fun. He had great restaurant recommendations and all the sites were magical. I highly recommended doing a tour with Henry. My family plans on visiting him again soon!
Where to start…communication with the company is great! I was able to either talk to or email Henry and receive an immediate reply. He was able to answer all my questions to help my group to prepare for a great day. We were a group of 6 on a cruise around Ireland. We were picked up promptly at the appointed time at the cruise port in a very clean Mercedes SUV. Once introductions were made we were off on a journey across Donegal with an extremely knowledgeable person that really loves his home. Henry is a plethora of information. He driving was wonderful. We went to so many wonderful places, all of which he could give a story to. I can not say enough positive about the service he provided and the tour he gave. What I can say is the next time I am in Ireland I will definitely reach out for his services again. If you want to learn about Ireland in comfort and enjoy the day you should try this tour.
