About Tour Guide Caitlin W.

I am a historian and postdoctoral researcher based in Dublin city offering tours of the city focusing on the modern period - approximately the last 250 years.


I completed my PhD in Public History at Trinity College, Dublin, where I studied how history was used to create different identities in the two Irish states after partition. I chose to study public history because I am really passionate about connecting the public with the history all around us and engaging them with it in their everyday life.


I have over 7 years of experience working within the tourism industry, many of those were spent devising new tour scripts and completely overhauling the backstage tours at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin (Ireland's national theatre), where I worked for over 4 years. At the Abbey I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to develop a whole new revenue stream for the company based around boutique experiences at the theatre ranging from VIP nights, meet & greets, and historical talks. There I developed crucial skills in communicating and engaging a range of different groups and demographics, from intimate tours for the former UN Ambassador Samantha Power and an tÚachtarán Michael D. Higgins to larger tours for groups of active retirees with varying levels of accessibility.


Since leaving the Abbey I have worked as a local tour leader for Peter Sommers Travel, a guide for the National Museum of Ireland and the 1916 Walking Tour, and Glasnevin Cemetery, and as a freelance tour guide. I have curated bespoke experiences for guests visiting Dublin such as a walking tour of the city designed with their interests in mind. I have worked with a variety of tour operators to ensure that their important guests had an enjoyable and educational experience.


I would love an opportunity to work with your company and some of the guests you have visiting Ireland.

Ireland

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
