We were lucky to have beautiful weather in Shannon and fit tour into evening hours and it was perfect time. We learned a lot about development of area and history and folklore while walking along beautiful path in estuary. Every turn held a surprise! If you are waiting for flight, this is perfect thing to fit in and if not, any one in Shannon area would enjoy! We loved Baylor our guide, he made it very interesting and is passionate about his country’s history!
Balor is amazing! If you want an immersive, fun filled, knowledgeable and personal tour guide then look no further. I've never been as fascinated by a field let alone the marvels and historical sites along the tour. Balors wit and storytelling brings you back in time and involves you in the tale rather that being a passenger. 100% can not recommend this guy highly enough. You'd be crazy not to go!
