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.

Thanks to Mark for a wonderful trip and knowledge filled experience in the Comeragh mountains. Mark was very organised and a pleasure to deal with and to be around for the duration of the trip. We would highly recommend this trip for those who enjoy a challenge in the mountains and want to get out and experience nature. This is the second time we have booked with Wild Summits and would not hesitate to do so again in the future. Best of luck to Mark and the Wild Summits team for their future adventures.

🌟Comeragh Two Day Hike🌟 It was stunning! Mark, our guide, is a real gem - so respectful of the land owners and the land, so knowledgeable and great fun! Ireland is so very lucky to have guides like Mark. I could not recommend Wild Summit more. We kept a steady pace, never rushed us, and adapted the hike to our level at each stage...and the view from the tents at sunrise is unbelievable; I'm not a camping lover but for hikes like this it's a must. Thanks!

I have done both the Lugnaquilla trip and the overnight in the Comeragh Mountains. Both trips were excellent.
I hike quite a bit but had never been to the comeraghs. The hike was challenging in parts but going through the different terrains was new. Mark was great on the map reading and navigation tips, tricks and local knowledge. views awesome. The gear provided was perfect and the tent was cozy.
Staying overnight on the mountain was special, stars moonlight and a campfire. Things to note: good boots essential!!! layering, and a night torch.. Would I go again? 100%

Myself and my husband went rock climbing in Dublin with Wild Summits. Our guide Mark was super fun and informative. We booked on to the full day climbing session as we knew this was something we wanted to take up as a hobby.
The full day was full on with lots of new information and climbing. We definitely got a lot more done than I was expecting and by the end of the day we were seconding on multi-pitches in Dalkey Quarry!! Amazing!

I did a half day climbing with my partner in Ballykeeffe and I couldn’t recommended it more. Mark was our guide and he was excellent at showing us the ropes (pun intended) and by the end of the session we had tried top robe climbing, lead climbing and trad climbing. He was very easy going, friendly and good craic - all while showing us the important safety points. We will definitely be booking further adventures through Wild summits. Five stars.

The trip was just fantastic. I went with my husband and my brother but many on the trip we’re on their own. The group gelled very quickly and felt like a team with our guide Mark leading. Everything was set up on arrival to the base that night. The tent was comfortable and surprisingly warm. The food wasn’t bad either! Mark was a great guide, his personality and skill kept everyone in good form. The scenery was second to none, views from the Waterford coast back up to the Galty mountains, across to Kilkenny and beyond. I would highly recommend this trip.

The Comeragh two day trip was really enjoyable. Mark was an excellent knowledgable guide. It was a good combination of comfort and wild camping experience. Scenery was spectacular considering the weather, food was tasty and it was a great way to learn basic navigation and camping skills. I would highly recommend this trip.

Absolutely smashing day in Ballykeeffe quarry with Wild Summits. We had the pleasure of spending the day with Mark and he was a complete gent. He brought us through top rope, lead and even some trad climbing and explained it all to us brilliantly while always focusing on safety. Myself and my girlfriend were at different levels of climbing and Mark was very good at catering for this too. Over all a great day and we'll definitely be back again.

Thanks so much to Mark & Dave for the guided night hike & history tour of Glendalough. Learned so much about the history of the place along the route. The pace was nice & casual with some stops for a bite to eat/drink. Also the stars were amazing when the rain stopped and the clouds cleared!

I went on the Glendalough Night Hike last autumn having never done the trail before. The guides were so informative about the history & ecology of the local area. It was such an enjoyable evening out and was taken at everyone's own pace. We were lucky enough to hear bats on the tour and even saw some wild deer. Cannot recommend this evening hike enough.
