Seamus Heaney Fans take Note.

Wonderful immersive experience that gave great insight into the life and poetry of Seamus Heaney with a knowledgeable and amiable guide who knew the poet personally. My highest recommendation to anyone who loves poetry and wants to find out more about Nobel Prize winner Seamus Heaney. Five stars.

An Experience That Lives In My Soul

Mr. Fergal was a larger than life man. Throughout the trip, he told me so many personal stories of the land we explored, I wish I had written them all down! He's intelligent, hilarious, and very humble, despite all the great things he's done in the tourism industry for Ireland. I truly felt entwined into the land during my seven hour trip, and I wish there could have been a day tour #2. It was that good! At some points, I got emotional viewing the sights, and him telling me about the history of the sights. I learned so much about Seamus Heaney and his homeland from Fergal. Without him, my trip to Ireland wouldn't have been nearly as remarkable. Thank you Fergal!
