South Donegal Private Tour

A South Donegal tour is a jam packed day rewarded with experiences and memories to last a lifetime. Immerse yourself in the traditional Irish culture at Glencolmcille Folk Village and visit the heritage town of Ardara.

Enjoy views of views of the Atlantic Ocean, Donegal Bay and the Sligo Mountains from over 600m high at Sliabh Liag sea cliffs.
All South Donegal tours are custom built to suit the interests of the tourist, their location and timeframe available. The following is a suggestion of some of the attractions to include while on a day trip of South Donegal.

Sliabh Liag

Sliabh Liag (Slieve League) is home to some of the highest sea cliffs in Ireland, almost three times the height of the Cliffs of Moher in Co. Clare. The journey to the top offers exciting breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, Donegal Bay and the Sligo mountains.

Ardara Heritage Town

Home to the best Donegal tweed makers in the county, Ardara heritage town is a must for any visitor looking for a true authentic Irish experience. Visit a loom weavers and see Donegal tweed being handwoven. This town is the best souvenir shopping spot on your Donegal tour!

Glengesh Pass

Leaving Slieve League, the winding Glengesh Pass links Ardara heritage town and Glencolmcille. The scenic valley is dotted with old cottages and farmsteads.

Glencolmcille Folk Village

This thatched cottage village is a replica of an Irish rural village offering a glimpse into daily life as it was in past centuries.

South Donegal and Inishowen Tours

“We are a group of 7 and spent 2 days with Henry touring us in South Donegal and Inishowen Peninsula. Hands down the best tour and Henry as the best tour guide we ever had! I was reaching out to Henry first about our trip to Donegal and was honestly so torn which tour to do best (all looks very interesting!!) given our limited time. Henry was very kindly recommending the 2 tours and on half day he wasn’t available, he recommend us to other tour with another brilliant tour guide. We really appreciate it!

South Donegal is such a gold especially we’ve visited it on a sunny day. Highly recommend going for it if you only had a day. Both South Donegal and Inishowen Peninsula drives were scenic and just so beautiful. Henry is very knowledgeable sharing histories/stories and was generally just a brilliant guy making us all feel comfortable and spoiling us like VIPs. Not to mention Henry’s car is superb and very clean and comfortable. We were also touring on his birthday giving us a good opportunity to show our gratitude for taking care of us in Donegal. Thanks again, Henry! Highly recommend his tour folks.”

Inishowen Tour

“I highly recommend booking with Henry if you want to see Donegal. We went on the Inishowen Tour and it was a full day of sightseeing. He is very knowledgeable and accomodating. We never had the feeling of being rushed or having to get on to the next stop. It was actually the opposite. Henry told us to take our time exploring, taking photos etc. It was a relaxing and very enjoyable day. He asked what we had on our bucket list to see (besides the normal stops on the tour) and he made sure we saw everything on it! There is no other way we could have seen as much without Henry taking us. I mentioned my family enjoyed Golf so he also made a stop for us to see the Ballyliffin Golf Club. Donegal has beautiful scenery and the Inishowen Tour is a great way to see it. Hope to see you again Henry for another tour in the future! Thanks for a great day in Donegal!”

The only way to see Donegal

Our family of four had one of the best experiences we’ve had traveling around Ireland thanks to Henry. We booked Henry for 3 days and each day he gave us a comprehensive and highly enjoyable guide around different regions of Donegal. Henry is funny and extremely knowledgeable and we had such a wonderful time touring the county. We traveled in comfort and got to see views and visit places which simply are not accessible with large coaches or difficult on your own. Simply put, if you want to see Donegal, leave the car at the hotel and get in contact with Henry. Cannot recommend Henry’s private tours highly enough.

Wonderful Two Days in County Donegal

Henry was a great tour guide and very easy to work with. He picked us up at our hotel in Donegal town and took us on a variation of the south Donegal tour with the addition of a lovely Assaranca waterfall and Maghera beach and caves. Henry is very knowledgeable and delightful company. This first day finished with a lovely drive across the County by Mount Errigal to our hotel in Derry (Londonderry). He picked us up the next morning and took on the Inishowen tour including a great lunch stop at Nancy’s Barn (must get the seafood chowder). Henry even produced a double rainbow at Malin Head but don’t expect that every time. I am sure wherever he takes you it will be great.

Henry Doohan, the best driver/tour guide

Henry picked us up at Donegal airport, drove us 1-1/2 hours to Ballyliffin and back 2 days later. He was on-time, responsive, knowledgeable with a good sense of humor and very pleasant to be with for 2 hours. He showed us points of interest along the way and made the ride very pleasant. We would recommend Henry highly and without reservation for any driving in Ireland whether it is to play golf, visit friends, or special occasions.

Inishowen Tour

“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.”

Three beautiful days in Donegal

“We booked three tours from Henry (Inishowen, Fanad and South Donegal). During these days we saw a lot of beautiful places. Henry is a knowing guide and nice and pleasant person. His car is very comfortable and cozy. Henry adjusts to the client’s tastes. Thanks to him we not only saw a lot of interesting places, but also had a good rest.”

Fun, Flexible, Fantastic

Henry Doohan and other members of Donegal Tour Guide could not have been more welcoming to myself and my family during our visit to Ireland. Always on time, flexible when we needed to make changes in our schedule or number of individuals in our party. Extremely knowledgable of the landscape. I highly recommend utilizing Henry and Donegal Tour Guide.

Brilliant day

“We spent our honeymoon in Donegal and rounded off the trip with the South Donegal Private Tour. Couldn’t recommend Henry highly enough. We had a fantastic time.
I booked through the chat feature on his website and was pleasantly surprised with the prompt reply. The South Donegal tour takes in miles of perfect scenery with plenty of pitstops including Killybegs, Slieve League Cliffs, Glencolmcille Folk Village and Ardara.
We opted for the additional picnic made up of local food and drinks which I’d highly recommend particularly during restrictions in dining.
If we had travelled with Henry earlier in our stay we would probably have done another day’s tour. The whole experience is very chilled out while taking in as much as possible at a really nice pace. Highly recommended.”

A fascinating trip to remember for a lifetime

“The tour itself was a very immersive experience. The tour guide was a lovely gent who drove smoothly and explained the journey very well beforehand in which we understood and knew what was to be expected for the day. Everything was hassle-free and comfortable.
100% would recommend to anyone who stays in an Airbnb or if transportation would be a problem as they offer collect and drop off services”
