Fascinating local stories told with PASSION
When hard history is retold with passion we rise above any burdensome feelings about the past. Instead we feel a renewed sense of our own humanity and purpose. It was an incredible day on Toe head today. The photos speak for themselves and the miles and hours flew as we trotted along and paused to hear stories and tales from the locality. It was a bonus to hear many in Irish as well. Connor and Mick were exemplary guides and amidst the stories of hardship they helped us all DREAM again. As one walker told me over the closing picnic of freshly made shortbread and hot drinks, after a day like today you would believe that Tir na Nog is just over there on the horizon. A great place to meet new friends and discover the secrets that are often under our nose!
This experience was...
This experience was amazing! Conor was so great and informative and answered all of our questions throughout the hike. There were so many gorgeous views and we really appreciated all of the history he provided about the different places we stopped. Next time we’re in Ireland, we will definitely be booking another experience with him. Thank you, Conor!!
A truly wonderful walk and talk.
If you like coastal walks in the wide open expansive landscape, if you are curious about the local folklore and if you are interested in the local flora and fauna then I highly recommend a walking tour with Gormu in West Cork. It’s magical storytelling at its best. And the homemade oat biscuits and coffee at the end never tasted as good.
Captivating walk in beautiful West Cork with a master guide and storyteller
Conor is a wonderful storyteller; he makes the stunning Irish countryside come alive with his knowledge of history, folklore and myths. He also knows all the secret places and views which I would never have seen without him. To top it all we finished on a beautiful beach with fresh coffee and home baked cookies accompanied by a story of female power in Cork. I loved it.
Fantastic tour no matter the weather
We booked a tour with Conor on what ended up being a wet, misty day but it was still absolutely brilliant. Conor is fantastic company and storyteller and we really enjoyed learning about the history and folklore of the area.
