Mary O.

Hello, and welcome to my tours page. I have been a licensed tour guide since the eighties, initially working as a tour director on coaches for Ireland's largest incoming tour operator. I started my private luxury car tours after two decades as a tour director. I love sharing the passion and knowledge I have accumulated with visitors today. I travelled a lot in my youth and lived in France for 12 years, where I worked initially for American Airlines and later as a city tour guide. I am bilingual in French. I also spent two years in Italy, both in Rome and Sorrento. I no longer speak Italian, but I can understand it and absolutely love listening to it. I like to read, walk my dogs, and play bridge in my spare time. I operate all the classic tours but can customise each to your interests. I am a recent graduate in genealogy from University College Cork, so I can put you in the right direction as to where to find the necessary records if you're researching your Irish ancestry. If you already know where they come from, I can tailor a tour around that for you. Don't hesitate to contact me and let me know what you want. Thanks for reading. Mary

Diana M.

Hello and Welcome! I’m Diana, and alongside my loved ones, my greatest passion in life is traveling, meeting new people, and sharing the beauty of the world through art and culture. My private guided day tours offer a truly unique and immersive experience—a chance to explore Ireland in a way that few travelers do. These tours are designed to be engaging and enriching, yet never overwhelming, allowing you to connect with the landscape, history, and culture at a comfortable pace. Many of my tours even include a picnic in a scenic, atmospheric spot to enhance the experience. As your guide, I aim to open the door to Ireland’s untouched beauty, from dramatic cliffs to enchanted forests, revealing hidden details that might otherwise go unnoticed. Whether you’re interested in a hike through the hills or horseback riding through breathtaking landscapes, I’m here to make it seamless and stress-free. I’ll take care of all the planning and driving (yes, on the left side of the road!), so your only task is to relax, take in the sights, and enjoy the fascinating stories along the way. Ireland has a way of capturing hearts, and I’d be delighted to be your guide and local expert on this unforgettable journey. Hope to see you soon on one of my tours, exploring the heart and soul of this beautiful country! - Member of ITGA (Independent Tour Guide Association) - PhD in Language & Culture Studies - Lowland Leader Award from Mountaineering Ireland

Brendan K.

Hi there. I'm Brendan. I am a native Dubliner. I was born here many years ago and spent all my life living and working all over the city. I love food, music, sport, history, politics and of course, the odd pint of Guinness. I retired in 2019 after a 40 year career in the technology industry, working for some of the biggest global names in the business. Because of my passion for all things historical my dream had always been to become a tour guide and I qualified as a official guide in August 2020. I have been taking my guests on journeys around the city since then. I love the idea that when someone tours with me they learn in a fun way about the very long history of Ireland and its people. They also see lots of places and things which I hope I bring to life for them as we stop for a while and discover the many stories to be told about this ancient city. With me you will learn about how Dublin has changed from the time of the Vikings to the time of Google. There are lots of funny stories to be told about that long period of time – I can assure you of that. So – if you are visiting Dublin please consider me as your guide. I am sure that if you choose me we will have some fun and interesting hours together as we walk the streets once used by the Vikings and the Normans and now the home of modern day Irish folk.
