Phil and Elaine crafted a bespoke tour for our small groups in South East Ireland & Wales.
The experience was fantastic: their attention to every detail, the selection of experiences and their kind attention to our every happiness. I couldn’t make a stronger recommendation.
Walking ancient paths, absorbing beautiful countryside, ancient history, inspirational music & reflections on life drawing us into inner tranquillity…This is St. Declan’s Way led by Phil & Elaine Brennan, of Celtic Ways. I felt both challenged & refreshed. There was lots of fun & camaraderie with our fellow pilgrims. Mt. Mellory was a gem & Ardmore a true delight. The food was delicious too! Many thanks Phil & Elaine.
