This 3-day private Donegal tour offers a relaxed, immersive way to experience one of Ireland’s most dramatic and unspoilt regions. Designed and guided by a Donegal native, the tour goes beyond the highlights to reveal hidden places, local stories and landscapes that most visitors never encounter.

What sets this experience apart is its flexibility and personal approach. Each day is tailored around your interests, the weather and your pace, with no rigid schedules or large groups. Travel comfortably in a private Mercedes-Benz vehicle, enjoy stress-free driving on Donegal’s narrow roads and spend the right amount of time at each stop.

Over three unforgettable days, you’ll explore iconic locations such as Sliabh Liag Cliffs, Glenveagh National Park, Inishowen and lesser-known gems off the tourist trail. This tour is ideal for travellers seeking an authentic, unhurried Donegal experience that feels more like exploring with a knowledgeable local friend than joining a standard tour.

  • Henry is the best!

    Simply put, Henry is amazing. He is very friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. Provided you give him a heads up and an idea of what you are looking to do, Henry can help craft a travel/visitation plan to suit you or your group's particular needs, often making suggestions for things not in any tour book (i.e. "local knowledge"). This skill is incredibly helpful as it allows you to adjust for weather, how you are feeling, how much energy you have, etcetera. I cannot recommend him higher and will hopefully be using his services when we return next year.

    I thoroughly researched the tour operators to take care of our wives while we played golf seven days in a row. I expected Henry to be great and he was!

    Henry was an amazing guide - super knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. We learned so much about Donegal’s history and folklore - and we all laughed a lot, too. I couldn’t recommend Henry more highly.
