Bog Safari Hike163bernies, Sep 2026
Boggy walk - Inishowen Walking Festival
An excellent walk with Sharon as part of Inishowen Walking Festival. A very wet day when we could only imagine the panaramic views turned into a Bog Safari on the Bulaba Way to Foxes Rock as Sharon shared her extensive knowledge of all things bog related including flowers, fauna and local history - I can highly recommend Sharon as a Guide if you are the person who likes to get the local flavour when you are travelling. 10/10.

Cant reccomend this enough
Cant reccomend this enough. Kevin was great providing us with great commentary and entertainment. A good choice of stops with lunch at a pub, although it was a bit messy how they handled payment which was not the tour operators fault. Worth going just to hear Kevin sing!

Perfect e-bike tour
We were a group of six ladies who had never e-biked before and there was definitely some trepidation before we started. However, our guide Amanda was totally amazing. She made us all very comfortable with the bikes, she was so kind and patient. It was a perfect way to see the incredible scenery of the area, beautiful views at every turn. Amanda was very knowledgeable and was able to tell us so much history along with some legends and myths thrown in. Having rain turn into sun just made it even better! We cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Thank you Amanda!!

Family re-union
We held our family re-union in Villarose Hotel. Everything was perfect, from check in to check out. The staff in reception were so friendly and accommodating. They and the staff who waited on us during our function dinner were exceptional and went above and beyond their duty to please us

Slieve League cliffs cruise. Donegal. Guided. 2 hours.rebeccaoV3020QQ, Aug 2026
Beautiful boat trip along the breathtaking coast
It was a really great tour. We were very lucky, because the weather was great and the sea was very calm. Right at the beginning, we saw dolphins. A dream.
The cliffs are breathtaking and it is great to see them from the sea for once.
Highly recommended, but the weather has to be right.

Great ride!
Cathal was a wonderful guide and host. We had rain and clouds but the experience was rewarding and fun. In our group of 8, no one complained about the poor conditions once we got going (they were sniveling a bit before we got started as it rained harder than all the time we had been in Ireland). The bikes were in great shape.

Great time biking at Glenveagh.
We had a great time biking in Glenveagh. The bikes were in good shape and the guys were very nice and super helpful. Highly recommend as a fantastic way to experience the park.

DONEGAL DAY TOUR: Coast and Castlesdivingprincesse, Jun 2026
Great private tour - highly recommend
We had an excellent private (2 persons) tour with Chieftain Tours. We explained our likes and dislikes and how we would like to vary from the timeline of the typical tour itinerary we booked. Joe was GREAT about coming up with new stops catered to our preferences to fill the time of the places we wanted to skip.He provided wonder history and insights about the region, and always volunteered to play photographer throughout the day. One request we had was to take a photo with a sign that said Letterkenny, as we had family from that area. He found a great photo op w the English and Irish spelling in front of a beautiful church.

DAY TOUR: Highlights Of South Donegalseemesha, May 2026
History, Humor, and Stunning Scenery — Chieftain Tours Delivers It All
We booked a whole day tour with Chieftain Tours and our guide Joe made a sightseeing day into something truly special.Joe's knowledge of Donegal's history and geography is impressive, and he delivers it naturally and engagingly — not like a rehearsed script. Whether passing ancient ruins or dramatic coastal scenery, he always had the perfect story or historical context to bring it all to life.Joe effortlessly blended humor, history, and heart into every stretch of road.
We left with a much deeper appreciation for Donegal than we ever would have on our own.Highest recommendation for Chieftain Tours and Joe!!

Magical Day
What a fabulous day we had with Martin. He was very knowledgeable about the area, especially the flora and fauna and history. He has a great sense of humor and he was so accommodating to our interests and needs. We highly recommend his private tour.
