Great tour! - We really appreciated that when our ship was delayed a full day due to the weather, they were actually able to reschedule us for the next day. We had a lovely day exploring the region and we stopped at the Rusty Mackerel for lunch and we had the best seafood chowder ever! Our guide and driver actually played traditional Irish music for us during lunch. A great day, thanks!

Donegal Shore Fun Filled Trip - We had a lovely day trip to Donegal Castle, Donegal Abbey and then to Slieve Liag Cliffs with a couple of stops along the way. Our bus driver Joe was very knowledgeable on the local area and the crack/fun on the bus was great. Everyone was so friendly. Definitely worth doing.

Great tour. - Guide, Kevin, and driver, Bryan, always had some kind of a wonderful surprise for us on this trip. Both did an excellent job. The itinerary was better than we had expected. The lunch stop was perfect, and the tour guides even sang to us. it is always a plus to be picked up and dropped off at the cruise ship.

Great Day with Chieftain Tour in Donegal - What an amazing day with Brian and Kevin! Our time seeing Killybegs, Donegal and Slieve League Cliffs was wonderful. The Castle had an interesting history and the castle guide Mark, truly helped us understand the centuries of history of this town. Then we were treated to an Irish Coffee and engaging display of tweed making at the shop, Triona. The stop at The Rusty Mackerel for food and music was a great experience and extra special treat. Walking along the cliffs with the incredible views of the Atlantic Ocean are not to be missed. Overall, this one of our favorite tours on our travels and a most beautiful place.
