I enjoyed hiking with Gateway to Ireland Tours. I have no car, and Diana, the tour guide, provided a transfer for me to the starting point and back to Greystones station.In a small group, we hiked the Glen Beach Cliff Walk to Wicklow Head. Along the way, Diana told us about the history of Wicklow town and Ireland, about the wildlife while we enjoyed looking at seals and birds. She does so in an interactive way, members of the group can share their own experiences, which makes the tour even more interesting. We were so lucky to visit the apartment inside the old lighthouse.In the end of the hike, Diana offered a picnic: tea, coffee and treats — exactly what's needed. Some people went for a swim in the sea. It was a day to remember.I absolutely recommend hikes with Gateway to Ireland Tour, you would enjoy the beautiful landscapes, learn about birds and animals who inhabit the area and about the history of Ireland.
We had a lovely Sunday experience together with Diana at Wicklow Cliff Walk. She is a great organiser and a passionate person interested in what she is doing. Diana met us at Dart station and drove us to a convenient starting point. The pace of the hike was customised to our group so we had plenty of time for enjoying the views, watching birds and grey seals.
Great hike to Wicklow Head with Gateway to Ireland Tours. Diana is an awesome guide with great stories about the area and local wildlife. She really feels the audience and sets the hike's pace accordingly. I was there with my 10-year old kid. He was happy - the best indication of the quality.
I really enjoyed our hiking tour with Diana ! She made us feel welcome , comfortable and really full of little “secrets” about beautiful Ireland. We killed two birds with one stone - great physical activity in a lovely company and new insights about place we live in ❤️
Awesome haik! I especially remember landscapes, fallow deer and blueberries) Plus, Diana spoke interestingly about the geological history of the area.The route was moderate in difficulty. Several smooth climbs, quite feasible for a not very trained person.Thanks for the picnic and the transfer - it was sooo out of place)Hayk met all my expectations!I note that in our group there were people who are not the first route with Diana. For me, this is an indicator of quality 🙌
Diana is a wonderful guide, had an amazing time, would recommend her tours 100%.Lovely experience!
We went for a few hikes organized by "Gateway to Ireland Tours" and definitely planning to join this magical trips again. Diana plans walks with attention to every details:- expect to be dazzled with magnificent views that will be stamped into your mind(and photos 😉) for a very long time.- during your walking experience expect to hear a lot of interesting facts and stories about areas and nature along a hiking trail.- and do expect to meet great fellow hikers, and to share a joy of nice chats and coffee/tea breaks together in breathtaking places of Ireland.
From the bottom of my heart I recommend haikey with Diana! The organization is super: timing, route, informative information during the whole trip. Beautiful photos after the haik were a nice bonus. I plan to participate more than once in the activities arranged by Diana.
I really enjoyed haiking with Diana. Landscape is spectacular with bushes of wild berries and waterfall. Diana told interesting facts about our route. And at the end we had lovely picnic! I highly recommend guided hikes with Diana!
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a hiking tour that left me with unforgettable memories and a renewed love for the great outdoors. From start to finish, every aspect of the tour exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't be happier with the experience.First and foremost, the tour guide - Diana was exceptional. Her passion for hiking and extensive knowledge of the area made our trip unforgettable. Diana was not only experienced and skilled but also incredibly friendly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for everyone involved.I can't wait to embark on another adventure!
I fell in love with hiking, mountains, and a guide. The trail was very scenic and moderately difficult. I am an unprepared person, but I mastered the path and enjoyed it. We were told a lot of interesting things, now I retell everything I heard at home to my family). Everything was very comfortable, in a friendly atmosphere. And the picnic at the end was a nice little bonus. I will definitely go again.
I enjoyed hiking with Diana in Wicklow mountains very much, it exceeded my expectations. The tour was well planned and very thought through, from the very first message exchange till the final drop-off at the Dart station + snack and raincoat support :)It was indeed the beginner level hike, there were of course some challenging places but it was totally ok and I felt very comfortable all the way up and back. Diana cares of both fun and comfort.Diana shared a lot of insights about the area, wildlife and history that enriched my enjoyment of the place.Totally recommend.
