Our family of four had one of the best experiences we've had traveling around Ireland thanks to Henry. We booked Henry for 3 days and each day he gave us a comprehensive and highly enjoyable guide around different regions of Donegal. Henry is funny and extremely knowledgeable and we had such a wonderful time touring the county. We traveled in comfort and got to see views and visit places which simply are not accessible with large coaches or difficult on your own .Simply put, if you want to see Donegal, leave the car at the hotel and get in contact with Henry.

We stayed in Letterkenny for 2 days. On the first day, we drove via Ramelton to Rathmullen (lovely beaches), and then onwards to Fanad lighthouse - beautiful views! On the way back via Portsalon (phantastic beach!). On second day, we took the car ferry from Rathmullen to Buncrana (very nice way to travel!), and toured around Inishowen, up to Malin Head, the most northerly point in ireland with phantastic views). We were lucky to have glorious weather, and the landscape of Donegal is just stunning!
