Ger Considine at Western Tours
A passion for Irish history and culture led to the setting up of the WTT Guiding service. In recent years we have aligned our business with the Wild Atlantic Way brand region. Our Guides bring individual destinations and attractions to life. Tour-leader, Gerard (Ger) Considine is the owner and operator of Western Tours and Tales. Now resident in Galway, I saw the opportunity for an exciting career change and I retrained as a Tourist Guide. I am a Regional-qualified Guide to QQI6 Level and accredited by the Irish Tourism authority, Fáilte Ireland. I am a member of the Approved Tourist Guides of Ireland (ATGI) who provide a Book A Guide service and am affiliated to the Galway Civic Trust. Ger is a committee member Galway Tour Guides Association (GTGA), where I can be contacted directly for Tour requests.

Terry Lambert
Terry Lambert & Hilltoptreks — What Makes Us Special For over two decades, Terry Lambert has been leading people into the heart of Ireland’s natural beauty, sharing the landscapes, stories, and secrets that make this island such an unforgettable place to explore. As the founder of Hilltoptreks, Terry brings a lifetime of experience in the outdoors, a deep love of Irish culture, and a genuine passion for showing guests the Ireland he knows best—authentic, welcoming, and full of quiet magic. With Terry, it’s never just a tour; it’s a personal journey shaped by warmth, humour, and a sense of adventure. Hilltoptreks’ day tours and walking holidays stand out because they go beyond the usual tourist path. Whether it’s exploring Wicklow’s forested trails, stepping back thousands of years at Newgrange, or wandering through the valleys and coastlines of Ireland’s west, every experience is crafted with care. Our routes are handpicked, our pace is relaxed, and our guides—each one hand-chosen by Terry—bring their own local knowledge, personality, and storytelling charm. Guests don’t just see Ireland; they feel it. What truly sets Hilltoptreks apart is our connection with people. Terry has always believed that the best experiences come from small groups, personal attention, and the freedom to slow down and enjoy the journey. This approach has shaped everything we do: the friendly atmosphere, the flexibility of our itineraries, the choice between guided and self-guided adventures, and the genuine relationships we build with our guests. Many return year after year—not just for the scenery, but for the sense of belonging they find with us. From easy day tours to multi-day walking holidays in Ireland and beyond, Hilltoptreks offers experiences that are thoughtful, uplifting, and rooted in a true love of the outdoors. Under Terry’s guidance, we’ve always kept one simple goal at the heart of our work: to help people discover places that inspire them, challenge them, and stay with them long after the journey ends.
