Spectactular views at Mizen and peace at Gougane Barra

great day excursion though lucky with the weather for Mizen head. Might warn travelers of the walk and steps at Mizen head since not suitable for all. Gougane Barra really peaceful spot to stop at.

Incredible trip!!

I truly enjoyed this tour. I had already been to the Cliffs of Moher and thought they were spectacular, but in my opinion Mizen Head was even more beautiful. It isn’t an easy hike to see a lot of it but well worth the time and effort. As for the tour, Brian (I hope that’s how he spells his name) was an awesome guide. Informative, funny, accommodating, just the kind of person you would want for a guide on any tour. We saw a lot of small towns on our way to Mizen Head and Brian was quick to offer info about each place and point out things I would have probably missed if he hadn’t mentioned them. This was my third tour on my trip to Southern Ireland and it was far and away the best.
