“We were so happy with our Sherpa Expeditions experience as we traveled the 7-day of the Wicklow Way. Our trip had an exciting start as we boarded the bus from the airport in Dublin, made it to the train station and then quickly jumped on our train. The Sherpa Expeditions Partners in Ireland were able to pick us up right as we got off the train and took us to our first stop in Tinahely. Being warmly greeted with coffee and scones at Madeline's B&B after a long day was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed all of our B&B's! The hosts were lovely and the food was always the best way to start the day! Our hiking adventure through Ireland was beautiful as most days were quiet on the trail but led us to magnificent views! Most days also allowed us to meet other hikers who were happy to stop for a moment, ask where we were going and tell us how long to the next stop. My husband used the map provided to guide us on the trail and found it very helpful. We could not be more pleased with our trip. Our legs are tired but it was all worth seeing the beautiful sites of the Wicklow Way.”
