Guillian also knew how to adapt the program to our interests and teach us a lot about the region in just half a day: the living conditions, the history, the local crafts and of course the superb landscapes of this coast with its impressive cliffs (the Slea Head Drive), or the hinterland (the Connor pass). Truly a wonderful day, we wholeheartedly recommend...”
