点评:We went on a one-day tour with Ged to learn more about Grainne Mhaol/Grace O'Malley and the Clew Bay region, and it was an extraordinary experience, actually one of the best guided tours I've done (as a travel journalist, I've already done a few). Ged knows not only the facts and background, but also stories, anecdotes and people. We even met with the fabulous storytelling magician Dan O'Donoghue (photo), and paid a (too short, there was not time, but I'll go back there) visit to the Old Goat Centre on our way along the coast. You feel that Ged loves what he does, providing the perfect tour for the guests. And that was how we felt: not like tourists, but guests, even friends. We learned a lot, but also had so much fun! One highlight was definitely the boat trip with James from Achill Seascape with whom we went to Clare Island and saw a large group of dolphins who kept swimming with us. I'd give 10 stars if I could!
翻译:我们和Ged一起参加了一日游,深入了解了Grainne Mhaol/Grace O'Malley和克鲁湾地区。这真是一次非凡的体验,实际上是我参加过的最好的导览游之一(作为一名旅行记者,我已经参加过几次了)。Ged不仅了解事实和背景,还对故事、轶事和人物了如指掌。我们甚至还见到了出色的讲故事魔术师Dan O'Donoghue(见图),并在沿着海岸的途中参观了老山羊中心(时间很短,没有时间,但我以后还会再去)。你能感受到Ged热爱他的工作,为客人提供完美的旅行体验。我们也感受到了这一点:不像游客,而是客人,甚至是朋友。我们学到了很多东西,也玩得很开心!其中最精彩的绝对是和Achill Seascape的James一起乘船游览克莱尔岛,在那里我们看到了一大群海豚,它们一直和我们一起游泳。如果可以的话我会给 10 颗星!
