CARRAUNTOOHIL

---

Cesar is an incredible guide. I truly could not have done this on my own. He made me feel safe, supported, and completely comfortable throughout the entire experience. He was attentive to my comfort level and adapted the plan accordingly when the weather took a turn. His experience and flexibility were so reassuring and had I wanted to push on, he was ready, but he also had safer alternatives that worked perfectly. As a female hiking solo, I couldn’t have felt more secure. He also recommended a nearby beach and a great spot for food and coffee after my hike. Dipping my feet in the cold water and warming up with a warm meal afterward was the perfect way to end the day. I hope to return one day in better weather to do it again, hopefully with Cesar as my guide. 

Our hike with Cesar was nothing short of unforgettable. I did this with my mom, who isn’t the most confident hiker, and Cesar was incredible at making her feel safe, supported, and empowered the entire way. His calm guidance, deep knowledge of the trail, and genuine kindness made all the difference. Seriously, this guy could reach the summit blindfolded! Cesar’s passion, professionalism, and warmth created such a positive atmosphere from start to finish. He truly goes above and beyond in every way and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. This experience will forever be one of my favourite memories with my mom. If you’re considering climbing Carrauntoohil, don’t look any further. Cesar is simply unmatched. 10/10. Thank you Cesar!!!  

"I went up Carrauntoohil with Cesar today, and it was amazing. The weather was wet and challenging, but Cesar amended our walk to a more safe route, and I had a beautiful experience. He was knowledgeable and friendly. I can’t wait to do some more walks with him in the future!" 

Wow! What an amazing guide Cesar is! I had a ‘golden day’ with him, hiking Carrauntoohil. Cesar was very kind, patient, knowledgable and excellent company. I followed his sure-footedness and listened to his expert advice, and had a wonderful day on the mountain. I highly recommend Cesar as a guide and I will hope to return to hike with him again. Thank you so much for everything Cesar. 

I had the most incredible experience hiking Carrauntoohil, Ireland’s highest peak, and it wouldn’t have been the same without my amazing guide. He led me on a wild and unforgettable route to the summit — adventurous, challenging, and absolutely breathtaking. Cesar’s knowledge of the terrain, calm guidance, and passion for the outdoors made me feel safe, inspired, and fully immersed in the beauty of the mountains. 

"Cesar was an incredible guide! I’ve done a few Airbnb experiences, and he was truly one of the best. He went above and beyond to accommodate us; offering to reschedule due to inclement weather and adjusting the route on the day of to better suit my mother. He was highly communicative, thoughtful, and extremely knowledgeable. The experience was seamless and the views of Ireland were absolutely breathtaking! 10/10—highly recommend!" 

I highly recommend this beautiful hiking tour led by Cesar. The scenery is truly magical and serene. You will see everything- peaceful waters, gentle waterfalls, spectacular views and rock formations. We were treated to amazing sunshine the day we hiked and conditions couldn’t have been more perfect. However it is good to know this is not a stroll down groomed hiking trails- scrambling at points and a good level of fitness is required for the 6-8 hour trip. Cesar was amazing in guiding our small group and was constantly mindful of showing up the safest way to step and manoeuvre our way. Thank you Cesar and I highly recommend his tour. 

Fantastic experience! Cesar was extremely knowledgeable of the mountain and local area from doing this so regularly. He was great at tailoring the hike to meet my needs as I am not a very experienced hiker. Important to note that the hike is very strenuous and some scrambling/ climbing is required continuously for like an hour or so. I consider myself to have a decent level of general fitness and I found it very challenging. Similarly on the way down there are gulleys which you will need to climb down with sheer drops beneath you so be prepared for this. It is not just a steep walk. That being said, Cesar ensures the safety of all of his clients and I really could not have been in any better hands so thank you Cesar. 

“The guided hike with Cesar up Carrauntoohil was the highlight of our Ireland vacation! A magical and beautiful place that you absolutely must see. Cesar tailored the tour exactly to what the weather and our individual abilities and experience made possible. He gave us, as beginners, valuable and helpful tips for climbing the mountain and showed us how to best climb and descend in difficult places. We felt completely safe at all times. Cesar also told us a lot about the mountain, the surrounding valleys, the country, the people and the history and patiently answered all of our questions. During the entire hike, Cesar took pictures and short videos, which he compiled into a collection of approx. 1.5 minutes video and sent it to us the afternoon after the tour. A really nice memory of the tour! A tour that I would book again anytime!”
