Testimonials
Highly recommended tour through the Slieve Bloom mountains. Jonathan was an excellent tour guide who showed us the hidden gems and history around the mountains and was a pleasure to chat to. Whether you are in the mood for a Sunday morning adventure or have a group of friends coming to visit the midlands, this is an excellent way to spend a few hours.
