About Tour Guide Cathy W.
Cead Mile Failte - One Hundred Thousand Welcomes :)
Hi ladies and gents abroad and a warm welcome to my profile page here.
My name is Cathy and I am an Irish born and bred tour guide based in our beautiful capital city, Dublin.
I have been in the travel industry for over 20 years now and have worked as both a world wide travel manager for a large American company and also as a host and tour guide across Ireland and Europe for the past 8 years.
Having worked and travelled quite extensively in the past, I have had the great pleasure of meeting a number of different nationalities and experienced their cultures
It has been a great experience for me to work with so many different types of people from young children to the more mature folks enjoying their retirement years
Nowadays however, my greatest joy is to show off my own beautiful city and country to all of you from around the world
I am always delighted to meet and engage with new people and show them the very best of this lovely little country and help them make memories that will last a life time
I am a very friendly and fun but sincere person and I aim to give my guests interesting but fun tours during their time in the city or country
I am always open to reworking tours and tweaking or designing new tours to satisfy what any particular individual or group is interested in too and this has made me a popular guide here in Ireland
I am like most Irish people in that I do not over brag about myself but I can say with honesty that I am a genuinely professional guide who wants nothing but my groups to home happy and fully satisfied that they have been shown a good time and had lots of fun with me during their time in Ireland
If you want to get in touch with me to arrange or book a tour or discuss and preferences or things you would like to do here that are specific, please feel free to message me and I will get back to you promptly
Bye for now - my friends to come :)
