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.

Very nice trip, the...

Very nice trip, the stops made before arriving at Mizen Head were very nice and interesting. Too bad for the driver driving a bit too sporty.

AWWEsome!

It was an amazing day with lots of wonderful views and drives through quaint towns. Our driver/guide was full of lots of information and gave an interesting remark about every town we went through.

Stunning beauty

Mizen Head is absolutely amazing. We had an excellent driver and tour guide. The one unfortunate issue was that 90 minutes was not enough time to take in all the beauty of the area and get lunch.
