Paradise in West Cork - One of the most amazing hikes I have been on. If you are looking for a stunning landscape, no other people in sight, fantastic storytelling and a relaxing time in nature, this is the hike for you. From beginning to end, Conor does a wonderful job of taking you on an adventure through his homeland that will hit all of your senses - yes there is even a tasty treat at the end. The views were truly breathtaking and there is even time and space for some still moments, where you can stop and take it all in. I traveled from Cork city just to do this hike and it was worth every penny! Highly recommend.

Conor and hiking Toe Head!! Great experience! - What a tour!! From start to finish, Conor really made this a special experience. Great communication before and after our tour. We felt as if we were given a special glimpse of this amazing country and we want to return for more because of it. He shared so much lore and interesting facts with us. It truly was a highlight of our trip. We drove almost 2hours from the port/cruise ship to take this specific tour and it was worth it!! Thanks, Conor!! We will see you again someday!!

A compelling hike of a beautiful, proud peninsula made entertaining & enjoyable by a local knowledgeable guide, Conor . - What a wonderful morning we spent exploring Toe Head Peninsula with Conor, GormĂș Tour Guide & exquisite storyteller ,(seanchaĂ style). Conorâs extensive knowledge of the history, flora, wildlife & folklore of the area and how he imparts that knowledge at the relevant spots/sites bring this whole hike alive in a way that we felt a part of this beautiful land and her wonderful community, past and present. The Spirit of resilience, courage, bravery & strength is still palpable in the land, seas & skies around this proud peninsula. That deep sense of the place & its people comes from
Conorâs skilled storytelling. It did not feel like 7km with the regular stops for storytelling & information regarding various sites & flora. We saw flora, that we didnât know existed & heard history we had never heard, neither of which we will not forget. We finished on the lovely TrĂĄigh Liceach. with fresh tea/coffee, Celineâs (Conorâs wife) delicious homemade cookies and a harrowing historical tale, featuring a hearty heroine named Nell Rua. I highly recommend this hike for exercise that you donât feel yourself do, in the midst of the adventure & entertainment. Thoroughly enjoyable, a must do. BuĂochas Ă ChroĂ, Conor & Celine again, heartfelt gratitude đđđžđŒđŸđđđ

Fabulous morning on the Toe Head Hike - What a morning we had on the Toe Head Hike with Conor! It was a fabulous experience in this beautiful part of West Cork. We were enthralled by the sheer beauty of the area and Conor's knowledge and passion about the nature, culture, history and, of course, folklore of his local area. A really enjoyable memorable experience and a "must do" for anyone visiting the area. 100% recommended and we also plan to do one of Conor's bike tours in the near future too.

Wonderful expedition - This hike around the Toe Head peninsula is a perfect combination of local history, folklore, flora and archeology with stunning views along the way led by Conor who's knowledge and story telling skills are superb and entertaining. He is a born seanachai! The time flew by finishing on Traighleagach strand eating delicious homemade biscuits (secret recipe) and being enthralled by the story of a battle fought on that very place in the 19th century.
Highly highly recommended

A Highlight of Our Trip to Ireland - We loved every minute of this hike. Spending the morning with Conor was a joy. He is friendly and knowledgeable - and by the end of the hike he felt like a friend. The hike itself is a good workout but nothing too challenging (which is what we wanted). We learned a lot of history but also enjoyed good conversation about everyday stuff. Cookies were great! 10/10. Highly recommend.
