Dean Garrison

My role as a Sales executive is to help my clients achieve what they are looking for in a holiday to Ireland. Whether that would be offering places to stay, providing a detail Itinerary outlining specific walks or hikes to participate in or to suggest unique and interesting places to visit. My aim is to get as much information out of people as possible so I can provide a trip that they will remember for years to come.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

""Saying that "I" specialize in Hiking and cycling would be to deny the amazing team that I work with at Ireland Walk Hike Bike. Our company was set up with one purpose in mind – to show guests the real Ireland that we know and love. Having watched many visitors “flash” through Ireland – my business partner and founder of the company Linda Woods decided back in 1994 to find a better way to see the country. As Linda says “My aim was to slow people down, so they really get their feet into the soul of the country, meet the locals & discover what makes Ireland & the Irish tick………” and 24 years later – this is exactly what Ireland Walk Hike Bike is still doing today….
We specialise in hiking and cycling holidays both Guided or Self Guided and take great pride in designing bespoke holidays in line with the needs of our guests."
"

How did you get involved in travel?

"I have been involved in the travel industry for over 12 years. Starting off by studying a International Travel and Tourism degree learning the in and out of the industry. I then undertook 1 year trip around the world visiting over 30 countries across 6 continents. Since then I have spent the last 8 years continuing to travel to different countries as well as working in different roles within the industry expanding my knowledge and passing this information on to others. "

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"I have been on many hiking holidays but the one that will have a special place in my heart was my trip to Peru and participating on the Inca Trail. 4 days of breath taking views and exploring old Inca ruins. The main event of the trip however was towards the end where you approach The Sun Gates and watch the sunrise over Machu Picchu (the lost Inca City) without a doubt one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had."

That being said, it seemed clear that Dean's focus was on hiking and biking. His company is literally called Ireland Hike Bike Walk. He would do better with younger people who want to hike or bike. He gave us routes to drive, but we couldn't or didn't follow them. They didn't always match where we were, or where we were going. He gave us instructions to return our rental in Dublin, even though we rented and returned the car in Shannon. On 2 occasions, the route started or ended in the wrong town 20-40 km from our target. Dean's associate, Katie, checked up on us multiple times during the trip, which was reassuring, and she helped us to cancel one of the excursions, and helped us find a confirmation number on another occasion.

In retrospect, I could have made the arrangements on my own. We would have probably missed out on Inis Mor and Achill Island. Those were both fun and memorable excursions, so I'm glad that we got to do those, but I'll do the leg work on my own next time.

Hi Patrick

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very pleased to hear that you had a successful and enjoyable trip overall, and that you appreciated Dean's accommodation arrangements, as well as your visits to Inis Mór and Achill Island. We're also glad Katie was able to assist you during your travels when needed.

We appreciate your comments regarding the driving routes. As your itinerary was highly customised, we didn't specifically highlight the link to the more detailed route notes that accompanied your trip documents. Those notes provide additional context, navigation guidance, and explanations for each suggested route, and we believe they would have helped avoid much of the confusion you experienced. We'll certainly take this feedback on board and make sure future guests on customised driving itineraries are directed to these notes more clearly.

We also apologise for the errors you identified in a small number of the route documents, including the incorrect rental car return information and the start or end points on two routes. Those were genuine oversights on our part, and we appreciate you bringing them to our attention so we can correct them.

While our company began with walking and cycling holidays, we also design bespoke self-drive tours throughout Ireland, combining scenic routes with unique experiences tailored to each guest's interests. We're pleased that some of the recommendations, particularly Inis Mór and Achill Island, became memorable highlights of your trip.

Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We wish you many more enjoyable travels in the future and appreciate that you chose Ireland Walk Hike Bike to help plan your Irish adventure.

Kind regards,

The Ireland Walk Hike Bike Team
