You may assume that a petite location in North Mayo doesn’t have much to narrate. This excursion can alter your perception. The trip spans two hours, but the numerous tales could undoubtedly lengthen it!

Belmullet and beyond - The whole tour was brilliant, the knowledge of the local area and well beyond couldn’t be faulted. Would highly recommend whether it’s your first time to visit or like me you have visited quite a few times.

PROFESSIONALISM IN BELMULLET - This is weirdly a tour on which I did not go, but I want to praise the leader. We booked for the tour, but there was a glitch with the web site. Neil could not do it. I want to praise his professionalism. He found time to meet us and have a brief chat with us. He gave us a complimentary copy of his excellent book on the area. We did do parts of his tour, but it would have been so much better with him.

Lovely Experience - What a lovely experience, Joe and I loved seeing this town with Neil. His knowledge and kind manner helped us to understand the history of this town, It is the town of origin for Joe's grandfather and we now think we understand the place bit better. Belmullet is a very special place. Hats off to the town for keeping it up so well and to Neil for showcasing it so nicely (even on a gray day)!

Walking tour of Belmulltet - I loved this walk around Belmullet. While I have been there many times I saw things on this walk that I never saw before, e.g. plaques in gaelic telling the prophecies of Brian Rua Carabine. Neal was a very informative and entertaining guide and we loved his poem. Highly enjoyable tour

Outstanding Experience with a Wonderful Guide - We spent almost a full day with Neal and cannot recommend him highly enough. He's charming, funny, intelligent and obviously loves this area. We wanted to learn everything we could about Belmullet after discovering we had family roots here, so we started with the town walking tour, which was very entertaining and comprehensive. We also hired Neal for a private Mullet Peninsula tour, and he showed us (and explained) all of the spectacular sights, as well as finding our family's original farm. Thanks again for everything, Neal!

Walking Tour Wonder! - My family comes from Belmullet and it was my first time there. Neal was able to teach me about my town that was engaging and fun! We saw major points—historical, architectural, cultural—that I did not know existed. His stories are amazing and bring the area to life. What a Guide! I Highly recommend!

Find out more about Belmulett - I really enjoyed the walking tour with Neall yesterday. I felt very reconnected with the town of my birth and finding out about the stories of the different buildings and locations in the town. Neall added a brilliant performance of a Percy French poem. Would recommend this walking tour for sure. All the best Neall. John
