Organised two hill climbs with North West Adventures. I was part of a club booking of 17 people. Two guides accompanied us each day. They were professional, friendly, knowledgeable and always had safety to the fore. Thoroughly recommend this company for your walks.

North West Adventure Tours surely have the best mountain tour guides in Ireland. We had 3 guides over a two-day hiking tour of the Dartry Mountains in Co Sligo. All were professionally trained, experienced, safety conscious, friendly and helpful. Above all, they demonstrated an intimate knowledge of the terrain, its history and culture

Went to Mweelrea on a guided tour, the guides (Barry and William) were well-organised, friendly and helpful. Pace was good, conditions were tricky in parts and were handled well and we were guided through them. A very professional outfit and they knew exactly what they were doing. Ar fheabhas ar fad.
