“Pat and Vincent (aka my cousin Vinny) are outstanding gentlemen, impressive guides, and impassioned farmers—a perfect recipe for a unique stroll along the Cliffs of Moher and Doolin town. Time simply slips away as you walk these local legends’ paths along sections of County Clare’s epic coastline that no one else can simply. They took immense care of a decently large group, creating a natural energy among us, and showed us sights we won’t find elsewhere in our travels. Their humor meshed with a certain sobriety on our 4-hour trek that resonated an authentic endeavor. Highly highly recommend!!”
