Wolfhound provided the perfect way to experience Southwest Ireland. Dave was an outstanding guide, sharing his deep knowledge of Irish history through captivating storytelling, humour, and music. His passion for Irish wildlife was evident—and truly contagious. Dave showed incredible patience and care throughout the trip, thoughtfully tailoring experiences for each of the 13 people in our group based on our interests and abilities. My personal highlight was our two water adventures, where we were lucky enough to see countless dolphins—an unforgettable experience! The accommodations were top-notch and the food was exceptional throughout the trip. I’m already looking forward to booking another tour to explore Northern Ireland. I can’t recommend Wolfhound highly enough. Thank you, Dave!

I typically don’t do surveys or reviews for products and services however, I wanted to make an exception and comment on a recent trip through Wolfhound Adventure Tours (6 Day West) that I took with my wife, daughter, son-in-law, and 4 great friends (as well as 7 new friends I met on the tour). I expect a tour guide to be knowledgeable, but Dave O’Connor took it to another level. Whether it be delivering a poem, or singing a soulful Irish song, Dave impressed us all with his expertise in Irish culture, folklore, history and wildlife while demonstrating a great sense of humor. He had us laughing throughout the entire trip. It’s obvious Dave puts his heart and soul into his work and is deeply devoted and passionate about Ireland, its history, wildlife, and its people. This isn’t a typical tour. It was a wonderful whirlwind of learning, hiking, pub hopping and sightseeing which allowed us to become immersed in the Irish culture. Dave surprised us by taking us to several off the beaten path hidden gems which enhanced our experience even more. Dave took time to get to know each person in the group. He Introduced us to many Irish songs and artists including Christy Moore which I now have on my playlist. Dave has a gift of playing just the right song during each part of the tour which helps you to connect to his stories. Some of my favorite stops were Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands, the Burren, Conamara, and the town of Westport. If you really want to experience what Ireland is all about then I highly recommend this tour. You won’t be disappointed. Chieftain Mike

Our family had the great pleasure of spending 6 days on the southwest Ireland tour with Dave, and I can honestly say he made the trip absolutely unforgettable. From the very beginning, it was clear that Dave is not just a guide, but a passionate adventurer with a wealth of knowledge about Ireland. He seamlessly wove together history, culture, agriculture, and even wildlife in a way that was both fascinating and fun. What really stood out was how he took us to places well off the beaten path — hidden gems, breathtaking views, and local treasures we never would have discovered on our own. Those experiences made the trip feel so much more personal and authentic. Beyond his knowledge, Dave was an absolute joy to be around. He was kind, thoughtful, and always made sure we were comfortable and on time without ever making us feel rushed. We had a group of 11 of all ages and he made accommodations so everyone’s needs were met. My 17 month old son adores Dave! He has a fantastic sense of humor, kept the atmosphere light and enjoyable, and even curated a perfect playlist that became the soundtrack of our trip. Our family felt so lucky to have had Dave as our guide — he truly elevated our Ireland adventure and turned it into a memory we’ll cherish forever. If you’re traveling to Ireland, I cannot recommend him highly enough! He is worth every single penny and then some!! You’re guaranteed to have some mighty craic!
