“The highlight of my trip to Ireland! Pierce was an excellent guide, kept us going at a good pace while making sure everyone was still ok. The routes were gorgeous. Definitely too challenging for me if I hadn't had a guide! Worth every penny to feel like I was on a journey with the Fellowship in Lord of the Rings.”
