Craig

We highly recommend a private boat tour on the River Shannon with Pearse! It was a truly unique experience to approach the Clonmacnoise Monastic Site by water, and to experience the river landscape and wildlife up close. In addition, Pearse is very personable and open, and we had the chance to share our cultural impressions and life experiences along the way. It was a truly enriching cultural exchange and made the tour very memorable.

We had a fantastic day with Hidden Heartlands Tours. Pierse was a brilliant guide, full of knowledge and enthusiasm, and we learnt so much along the way. The whole trip was really enjoyable from start to finish. I would highly recommend Pierse and his tours to anyone looking for a great experience.

What a wonderful boat trip down the Shannon to Clonmacnoise with Pearse. We all truly enjoyed our day and we all agree that Pearse made the trip very enjoyable. He is a fantastic tour guide, great storyteller, so knowledgeable about the area and he even shared some boating tips. We would highly recommend this trip with Pearse, whether you are a local our a tourist, it's great day out.

John, from Whiskey Island, was an incredible guide: wonderfully knowledgeable, great conversation, and genuinely nice. He made the trip easy and comfortable. Treat yourself, or someone else, and take his fun and informative tour to Kilbaggan, Sean's Bar, and Tullamore DEW.

We had a wonderful afternoon with our skipper, Pearce. He met us promptly, was pleasantly chatty and showed us a great time on the River Shannon and Lough Ree. He shared some wonderful ideas to do in the area. I highly recommend adding this to your visit to the area of Athlone or Co.Roscommon!

I'm on holidays with my mom and that was one of the best tour what I've booked for us. Pearse is a wonderful guide, knows a lot about history and has a great sense of humor. We've really enjoyed our fabulous tour to Clonmacnoise. Take care and thanks a lot for the further recommendations for our trip in Ireland. Really appreciated 🙏 and the only thing what I can say, go on the boat with that great skipper. 🙂
