Penhascos de Sliabh Liag e Excursão a Glencolmcille

It has been a couple of weeks since our all day tour "Sliabh Liag Cliffs and Glencolmcille" with Henry. We have reflected a lot and decided this was one of our BEST memories of our two week trip to this amazing country. Henry was so incredibly kind, accommodating and knowledgable about each site we visited. It felt like the perfect balance of time speaking with him, and time he allotted for my husband and I to explore locations alone. I think the best part though was just chatting with him about every day life in Ireland. We found so many similarities to our own life/experiences. The cost was more than reasonable for an 8 hour, totally customized tour. His car couldn't have been more comfortable and he frequently checked in to make sure we had what we needed. He also provided recommendations (which we absolutely took) for other things to see/experience for the rest of our trip. I am confident Henry could provide an amazing experience for anyone. We hope to make it back to Ireland one day and when we do, we will book another experience with Donegal Tour Guide. Thank you so much for a wonderful day, Henry!

My husband and I spent two fabulous days on private tours with Henry around Donegal, Sliabh Liag, the Gaeltecht area and Glenveagh National Park. Henry is an absolutely delightful person to spend with! We were, first of all, very glad NOT to be driving the super narrow roads and just enjoyed the spectacular scenery. Driving with Henry was like having our own personal seminar about Irish history of the area and country as well as funny and fascinating stories about Henry's life in Ireland and local lore. He was flexible, considerate, personable and very, very good at his job!! We highly recommend Henry for tours anywhere in Ireland and have already planned our next visit with Henry as our guide. Thank you Henry!! Stay well.

There are not enough kind words to say about Henry. I learned more about Donegal in one day trip than on any commercial or arranged venture in any other county. The lore, the history, the love of his home is shared in every story and location. I hope everyone who loves Ireland will spend some time with Henry because if you think you can't love it more, you will find out that Donegal is an often overlooked gem. The memories will last a lifetime and our family is so grateful Henry shared it with us. I look forward to our next meeting and have Henry at the top of my list for our next visit to Ireland. This was my fourth visit to Ireland and by far the best. Thank you Henry, Donegal Tour Guide.

A group of dear friends and neighbors attended a wedding in Ireland, with a few days to spare in County Donegal. From the first inquiry, Henry was responsive, friendly, customized our tour to our interests and schedule, and made our group feel right at home. The night before our tour, when we had an unexpected glitch in our ground transportation, Henry responded to our last minute SOS and got us all sorted, so that we didn't miss a beat - and he did it with grace. The day of our tour with Henry was just magical, we were blessed with wonderful Irish weather - all the seasons, in all the glorious beauty! Through sun, clouds, mist and bluster, Henry was an entertaining guide, remarkably informative about history, flora and fauna, and even told us an old Irish legend - on demand, nonetheless. He patiently provided tips about family genealogy, as well. Thank you, Henry, you exceeded our expectations, got us to the ferry on time, and helped us prepare for our four days of wedding celebration! I could go on and on, but will leave it to some of my fellow travelers, and share a picture or two. Sending a great big thank you!

My husband and I traveled to Letterkenny in June for a vacation and some ancestral history research. This is the second time I have had the pleasure of having Henry Doohan as my Donegal Tour Guide. We did the private custom day tours visiting Sliabh Liag Cliffs, Glencomcille, Donegal Town, Inishowen Peninsula, Londonderry, Ramelton, Fort Dunree, Glenveigh Castle, Ballyliffin Golf Course, Monreagh Heritage Centre for a Scots-Irish Festival, Newmills Corn and Flax Mill and various towns and cemeteries associated with my ancestors. Henry is very personable. My husband and I were very impressed with his knowledge of history of the area. He went the extra mile planning things for us to do which were related to my ancestry research. I highly recommend Henry and I will definitely hire him as my tour guide the next time I visit County Donegal.

Henry Doohan picked us up at our hotel in Letterkenny, Donegal and we were off to explore Sliabh Liag and Glencolmcille. The scenery is absolutely astounding, Henry is knowledgeable not only about the history of the area but the geology of the area as well. Some hikers take the arduous path from the bottom to the summit of Sliabh Liagh. The cliffs are among the highest in all Europe! Henry was able, by special permission, to take us to the park adjacent to the peak of the Sliabh Liag Cliff where the view is the best. We went on from there to Glencolmcille, Folk Village. Henry told us all about the founding of the folk village. After the famine many young villagers left the village to find work elsewhere or to emigrate to the US or Australia. Fr. James McDyer was born in Glenties and saw how decimated the village was and the sadness of the people who were left behind. He determined to revitalize the village and he did with the help of the villagers . Glencolmcille is a living history village. The original village houses have all been restored and authentic furniture and tools. Each house has a guided tour. There is a tea room where you can enjoy an excellent meal. The whole day's experience was excellent because of the knowledge of the area that Henry shared with us.

Our family had a wonderful day of touring Donegal with Henry. After being picked up at our hotel, the seven of us were taken on a beautiful adventure, including tracking down our grandparents house Henry is knowledgeable, excellent driver. and was able to time every stop for optimal enjoyment. Within minutes of getting into his beautiful car he knew all seven of our names and figured out the relationships. He was able to draw everyone in to the experience. We could not recommend spending a day with Henry any higher. He is simply the best. Thank you Henry for a fabulous day that we will never forget.

Truly enjoyed our two day tour through the Inoshowen peninsula. Henry was an excellent guide and driver. He is thoughtful, knowledgeable and humorous. What more can you ask for?

My family and I had so much fun with Henry as we traveled around beautiful Donegal! He's knowledgeable, hilarious, and an excellent driver. We saw so many beautiful sites and Henry adjusted the schedule based on the weather so we were able to make the most of the sunshine. Thanks for a great trip, Henry! Hope to see you on our next trip over.

We had a great time on our tours with Henry. Donegal is beautiful and Henry is knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend Donegal Tour Guide.
