Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had an amazing four-person anniversary/birthday trip to Ireland and spent three days of it with Henry as our guide. He made wonderful recommendations for stops and planning our days out perfectly. He even had the staff at one of the tourist centers sing happy birthday to me for my 50th!!! He is fun, passionate about Ireland, considerate and a great driver. We will not hesitate to call upon him again the next time we plan to be in Ireland.

What an enjoyable 2 days I had with Henry! He really did his homework to make sure I could experience items on my bucket list with my limited mobility. He even found that walk in a bluebell woods for me ❤️. Henry is kind, personable, knowledgeable, and a great driver. You can’t go wrong by booking with him.

Our group of four had the most amazing tour with Henry! He got to know our interests right away, and crafted the perfect outline for the three day tour- all while leaving the schedule flexible. We never felt rushed, which allowed us time to take in the majesty of Ireland’s beauty. I can’t recommend Henry enough!

Henry is a fantastic tour guide and a lovely person. This was my sister and my first trip to Co. Donegal (we have been to many other parts of Ireland) and having Henry take us around the county was a gift. He is knowledgable about, not only Co, Donegal, but all of Ireland's history and culture. We had an itinerary set up but Henry was always willing to make other stops along the way. This was such an exceptional experience we are returning to Co. Donegal in August of 2023 with three additional friends - that says it all!!! We spent a total of three days with Henry and we felt like we were traveling with a friend as he is very easy to be around.

He provided contacts when I needed a driver to bring me to another county and set up transport for us to get back to Dublin.

We did two days of tours with Henry and he exceeded our expectations in every way! He’s very informative, friendly, and also gave us so much helpful information for our days we’d be in Ireland after the tour with him and for my next visit to Ireland. Henry’s tours are the best way to get to know Donegal!

We booked Henry for our visit to Donegal and he was our guide for four days. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are on the fence about driving versus a tour or public transit versus a tour, I advise going with Henry. Our trip was completely stress free. There was no tension about driving or crowds of other tourists. Henry completely customized the trip around our interests. He gave us as much or little time as we wanted at various stops. When we had some ferry time changes, Henry was on the phone with the locals, sorting it out for us. While in the (luxurious) van with him, Henry was informative and entertaining. He filled us in on historical and contemporary events which were highly interesting. He has wonderful suggestions for books to read, restaurants to try, etc. The places he took us and the routes he chose were gorgeous. Booking a tour was a splurge for us but I can assure you, it was worth every penny and we are already planning our trip for next year with Henry. It was the best decision we made for our trip!

The tour was wonderful....so beautiful and interesting. Our whole family group - ranging from my teenager, to my 80-year-old parents - had a fantastic time. Henry's informative, fun, and funny stories and commentary were the best. So very glad that we booked with the Donegal Tour Guide!!

If you are visiting Donegal, or anywhere in Ireland, consider hiring Donegal Tour Guide. We first met Henry Doohan in Galway, where he picked up our family of 5 from our hotel. He showed up in a beautiful, comfortable, spacious, 8 passenger, Mercedes van. We were in this same van for the 3 day tour. Right away we liked Henry as he is very personable and quite funny!

Our 3 day tour began in Galway and headed towards our accommodations in Donegal where we would stay for 3 days. Our itinerary each day was customized by Henry, as to see many gorgeous sights along the way, such as Knox Shrine and Glencar Waterfall for example.
It was so great not having to worry about driving and wasting precious time figuring out what route to go and what to see. Henry took care of all of that for us. It was completely stress free and relaxing.
I would highly recommend booking at least two days minimum. We booked 3 days and wanted to see as much of Donegal as we could. Donegal is breathtaking! We saw so much in our 3 days with Henry. My husband and I felt the tour of Donegal could have continued on as there was more to see. My kids (ages 9,11&13) enjoyed the tour as well but by the end of Day 3 they were ready to hang out at the hotel and do some shopping in town.
There were plenty of toilet stops along the way and many stops for photo opportunities.
We visited Slieve League, the entire Inishowen Peninsula (Malin Head), Muckross Head, Donegal Town-just to name a few. He also worked the best lunch stops into our itinerary. ( Glencar Teashed, Nancys Barn, The Blueberry Tearooms)

Henry is a local who grew up in Donegal and he did not disappoint. I can’t say enough about Henry at Donegal Tour Guide. He covers all tours in Ireland, not just Donegal and can accommodate groups of all sizes. He went above and beyond our expectations. By the end of our tour, Henry felt like a part of our family.
Donegal Tour Guide, was not just a tour of Donegal, it was an unforgettable 5 star experience!

We had an amazing time in Donegal. Henry, Tommy, and the team gave my family an awesome tour. Henry and is team are professional, knowledgable, and fun. We learned some much about Donegal and would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to explore Ireland. We loved seeing Sliabh Liag, Glencolmcille, and other important areas of Donegal. They knew where to stop for pictures, important facts about each area, and the rich history of Ireland. We were so happy with our tour and time spent in Donegal.
