Our Happy Visitors
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

I really enjoyed hiking with Northwest Adventure Tours. The two lads Barry and William were very professional. They took us up Croghaun and Slievemor in Achill. We got lucky at the top of Slievemor and had spectacular 360 views. Not so lucky on day 2. The wind was up. We were well informed on what to wear, what to pack, when to meet and where. The guides were full of local info and good details about the geology/geography of the area
