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

A great team, well organised and full of local knowledge and tales. They can cater for all fitness levels and experienced or first time hikers and there may be an occasional tea or coffee stop on there hike 😊Also recommend SUP and some cycles for nice relaxing days out.10/10 keep up the good work guys
