    The Donegal Trip from Killybegs.
    Laiwah_B, May 2024
    We were met on time and steered onto a couple of smart Mercedes mini-buses. Coaches, it later transpired, could not have tackled some of the lanes we used. Our experienced guide, Maureen, assisted at times by the driver, Liam, delivered an appropriate commentary throughout. The historical significance of some local landmarks and events were clear. Apparently the Irish sense of indignity goes back a long way. Lunch was unfortunately scheduled rather later in the programme than suited some guests, but it was fine, as were the views of the dramatic coastline from the mountain.
    Fantastic tour of Donegal/Killysbeg

    Wonderful Guides and Experience

    Joe and Maureen were amazing - knowledgeable, easy going, and SO patient with the very challenging group of non-listeners/non-readers. It would have been miserable to be stuck with those folks on most excursions, but Joe and Maureen kept things going so we all had a good time. The mini bus is really nice and allows the tour to drive all the way to the top of Sligh Lough…bigger buses have to have guests transfer to a shuttle or walk. They somehow arranged things with the Rusty Mackerel to have everyone order and be served in record time, and the food was excellent. The monastery and castle were great and very well explained as well. We’ve been on many cruises to many places, and this was among the best excursions we’ve ever done!
    Perfect Day in Port of Killybegs

    After missing 3 ports due to storms in the North Atlantic, docking in Killybegs was a highly anticipated event and this tour delivered! Ruins of an abbey? Check. Charming Donegal town? Check. Castle? Check. Majestic coastal cliffs, complete with rainbow? Check. Having the 2 guides play and sing for the group at lunchtime is a memory we won’t soon forget. Despite the group size being larger than expected based on the description online (my own interpretation of mini-coach was no doubt at fault-it just means a smaller bus than the ones typically used by cruise line excursions), Joe’s pride of place gave us a glimpse of what makes Ireland so magical.

    We were thrilled you guys made it to Killybegs and equally to have had such a positive experience with us. Thanks for contributing and leaving a fantastic review. Happy to clarify that our mini coaches/vans usually range in size between 16 and 29 seaters - but we don’t utilise all the seats for passenger comfort. Team Chieftain
    Great Company...Great Tour!

    On a recent 10-day NCL cruise around Ireland, we booked the Full-Day Killybegs Cruise Ship Donegal Tour Excursion. Chieftain Tours conducted the tour. It is a very professional tour company and provided a great day for us. We had adequate time to visit the Donegal Castle, which was very interesting. After the castle visit, we traveled along the Wild Atlantic Way. The views were amazing. The driver/guide gave us a great explanation of the area. The stop at the Rusty Macherel was fun and delicious! We had a separate room for our tour groups, which was nice. I even learned something from our tour gude about my "Sweeney" ancestors while at the wool shop stop. I highly recommend this tour while visiting Killybegs!

    Prompt pick up from the port, lovely welcome from Brian. Very comfortable transport. Great itinerary and very knowledgeable guides (Brian and Joe). Due to the size of the mini bus - we managed to access areas that coaches couldn’t get into. Would recommend!!
