What Our Visitors Say

"We had a very interesting time at Blacksod lighthouse learning about its history up to the present day. Our guide was very informative and helpful."
Susan , August 2022Tripadvisor
"Such an informative tour of the lighthouse and fascinating history lesson from Fergus who has the personal family history too. He made it all so interesting even for the younger family members. Highly recommend the tour. Thank you Fergus!"
Christina, August 2022Tripadvisor
"One of the best guided tours I have been on. The guide, Maureen Sweeney's Grandson himself, was an amazing Guide. Nothing like a lifetime of hearing tales to be able to help you tell an amazing story yourself. I have been to some fantastic museums and guided tours and this one is high up on my list definitely worth the money. The surroundings are so beautiful and the history is rich."
