Fun, Flexible, Fantastic
Henry Doohan and other members of Donegal Tour Guide could not have been more welcoming to myself and my family during our visit to Ireland. Always on time, flexible when we needed to make changes in our schedule or number of individuals in our party. Extremely knowledgable of the landscape. I highly recommend utilizing Henry and Donegal Tour Guide.
Our tour of beautiful south Donegal was very special. Such incredible natural beauty and rich local history all in one day. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality and memories!
Henry did an AMAZING job of leading our tour along the Wild Atlantic Way and other parts of Northern Ireland. Provided wonderful insight into where to stay, shop, eat, and what to see. Henry also provided information such as several Irish tales, political issues, cultural variations, foodie insight, off the beaten path shopping opportunities to find one of a kind collectables. He became like another member of our family in our 10 day tour. Our trip included: Dublin, Dundalk, Belfast, Larne, Derry, Buncrana (my fav), Donegal Town, Westport, Cong, Galway, and Ennis….not to mention all of the points of interest that are considered touristy and those that only a local would know. Well done Henry!!!!
“I highly recommend booking with Henry if you want to see Donegal. We went on the Inishowen Tour and it was a full day of sightseeing. He is very knowledgeable and accomodating. We never had the feeling of being rushed or having to get on to the next stop. It was actually the opposite. Henry told us to take our time exploring, taking photos etc. It was a relaxing and very enjoyable day. He asked what we had on our bucket list to see (besides the normal stops on the tour) and he made sure we saw everything on it! There is no other way we could have seen as much without Henry taking us. I mentioned my family enjoyed Golf so he also made a stop for us to see the Ballyliffin Golf Club. Donegal has beautiful scenery and the Inishowen Tour is a great way to see it. Hope to see you again Henry for another tour in the future! Thanks for a great day in Donegal!”

My husband and I were touring Ireland via a cruise ship and 3 ports were cancelled due to inclement weather and substituted with other cites, the last one was Greencastle. I was scrambling to find something to do just like all the other passengers and we were so grateful to have found Henry. Henry picked us up at the port and we immediately started our wonderful day sightseeing some breathtaking views of North Ireland. Henry is such a delight, he is very knowledgeable, very compassionate and a great sense of knowing just what the tourist want to see and do. I highly recommend any of the tours that Henry has, you will not be disappointed.
We took a special tour to the Donegal Gaeltacht. Henry was brilliant. He understood exactly the kind of tour we wanted from the brief phone conversation and scheduling. He customised our tour to meet our particular desires. He took us to see Croc an Dúin, Cill Mhic Réanáin, An Ráith, An Fál Carrach, Cloich Cheann Fhaola, Gaoth Dobhair, Dún Lúiche, and many other exciting off-tourist and hidden locations. He also hooked us up with new friends, facebook friends, internationally famous Donegal people and na seanachaí. We highly recommend Henry Doohan and Donegal Tour Guide for any exploration of Co. Donegal.
In July 2022 we spent 3 days in the company of ‘Donegal Tour Guide’ Henry Doohan. We’d originally intended to hire a car for our trip but decided to give Henry a try instead. This was a very good decision as his service was faultless, and it meant that I didn’t have the stress of driving in unknown parts.
I’d already furnished him with a list of things we wished to see, and by the end of the time, we’d seen almost all of them, plus many more super things that Henry added during our journeys.
A highlight of our trip was a visit to Leo’s Tavern, the home of Clannad and Enya. This was just in time for some traditional Irish music and dancing, and some delicious Irish Coffee !
Henry is very knowledgeable about local history, and is polite, friendly, humorous, and an all-round super chap. He runs a spacious Mercedes minibus which he keeps spotlessly clean and which is ideal for viewing the countryside. Every day, Henry not only arrived on time to collect us, but, in fact, he was already there waiting prior to the collection time. Being a local, he knows all the little shortcuts that ensure that no holiday time is wasted.
We highly recommend that you book your trip with Henry – the ‘Donegal Tour Guide’ – you won’t regret it !
He was a pleasure to travel with – his mode of transport was so comfortable and luxurious and he was wondering entertaining, chatty and informative from start to finish. Among the places Henry brought us to were Glenveagh National Park, Rathmullen and Ramelton, the beautiful Ballymastocker Bay and, the highlight of the day, Fanad Lighthouse. Along the way, he told us so many interesting facts and stories about each of these, with many more in between. We cannot praise him highly enough for making our trip so memorable and enjoyable and we recommend him unreservedly, especially if you are unfamiliar with Donegal. Thanks Henry for being such an entertaining and thoughtful tour guide and we’ll be back again in the future, to explore the Inishowen Peninsula with you!
“We spent our honeymoon in Donegal and rounded off the trip with the South Donegal Private Tour. Couldn’t recommend Henry highly enough. We had a fantastic time.
I booked through the chat feature on his website and was pleasantly surprised with the prompt reply. The South Donegal tour takes in miles of perfect scenery with plenty of pitstops including Killybegs, Slieve League Cliffs, Glencolmcille Folk Village and Ardara.
We opted for the additional picnic made up of local food and drinks which I’d highly recommend particularly during restrictions in dining.
If we had travelled with Henry earlier in our stay we would probably have done another day’s tour. The whole experience is very chilled out while taking in as much as possible at a really nice pace. Highly recommended.”
