This was my 7th self-guided walking tour, but the first with UTracks. Everything about the trip was well organized, the app and all communication was great, and the orientation was really helpful and informative.

5.0 - Excellent

Walking from inn to inn was epic and it was really nice to end in Dublin. The logistics were seamless. My only criticism is that one of the days was spent walking through a large clear cut area, which was interesting but not especially beautiful.

The Wicklow Way - 7 Days

Anonymous | Traveled in April

5.0 - Excellent

The Dingle Peninsula walk combines green pasture valleys, hills and coastal tracks and this combination makes it very special. The maps and information provided is accurate and detailed. Still, what we liked the most was the friendliness of everyone we met along the way and in the accommodation provided.
