EXCELLENT Based on 58 reviews Posted on Ronald BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nicola was a great guide! She picked us up on time at the port and took us to Donnegal city where we toured the castle. Then it was on to views of the countryside and a small town where we saw weavers making beautiful blankets, scarves etc. After a quick sandwich we drove to the Sliabh Liag Cliffs which were gorgeous despite the rain. Nicola got us back to our ship in good time after a delightful day.Posted on Valerie VerdoneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great tour company! We had a fabulous day with Kevin! Thank you Chieftan Tours for a great day in Donegal,Ireland!Posted on Katie LadnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An absolute must see! What a great show!Posted on Margaret CritzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joe from Chieftain Tours made my day in South Donegal unforgettable. He was funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and brought every stop to life with great stories—from castles and abbey ruins in Donegal Town to the cliffs of Slieve League (which we got to drive right up to—major bonus!). We also visited Silver Strand Beach and the Glencolmcille Folk Village, and Joe made every bit of history feel fresh, surprising, and honestly just fun. If you’re visiting Donegal, do yourself a favor and book with Chieftain Tours. Ask for Joe. You won’t regret it.Posted on Leonie GattiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked the highlights of South Donegal with Joe from Chieftain Tours May 2025. We decided to have a day off driving ourselves and see the sights with a knowledgeable guide. Joe was amazing. We warmed to him immediately. His knowledge of not only Donegal but Ireland and its history made for a wonderful day. It was sad to say goodbye. We felt like we’d known Joe for years. Do not hesitate to book a tour with Joe. Our day was truly a memorable one.Posted on Katelyn LackeyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I had a wonderful day touring around the Donegal. We got to see some amazing sites and some off-the-beaten-path areas that we never would have seen on our own. Joe was very knowledgeable and gave us some good stories and history of the area. It was a day well spent!Posted on Cathy SimpsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We spent two weeks in Ireland without a car by piecing together buses, trains, guides/drivers and day tours. Our adventure started with Joe Greene touring us around Co. Donegal for two wonderful days of sharing the spectacular landscapes, seascapes and history. Easy and fun to be around, we learned so much and can highly recommend our new Irish friend. Thanks, Joe -- a definite highlight of our trip.Posted on Debbie DriverTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an incredible day traveling around Donegal with Joe! He provided such a great balance of sharing the history and the natural beauty of Donegal. He is clearly passionate about Donegal and his love for the place shined through during the tour. He also adapted the tour to include things we hoped to do and see. The day with Joe was one we won't forget! Kudos!!Posted on Tien ThompsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joe was EXCELLENT. He was knowledge, flexible and FUNNY. He is also an excellent driver! We learned so much. You can tell Joe is very passionate about what he does. Highly recommend Joe and his company!
