About Tour Guide Dairine N.
I have been guiding since 2010 and have my own limousine. I offer walking tours, driving tours, specialist tours and front of coach tours. There are two tours offered on this site: you can have a full day out in County Wicklow, visiting Powerscourt Gardens, driving through County Wicklow National Park, and exploring Glendalough - the valley of two lakes. We can incorporate a hike into the day, should you wish.
I also offer walking tours of Dublin city. I worked in the property business here for many years, and then later in the political world, so I am very familiar with the city and it's history. Many of the main attractions are close to one another, so a walking tour is a great way to explore. My tour aims to give you an overview of our history, and we can dip into the galleries and museum to see some of the highlights. We can pack a lot into four hours!!

The best of Wicklow, with a local, by limousine. A full day out!
This is a driven day tour of the 'Garden of Ireland' as County Wicklow is known. We will visit Powerscourt Gardens, Wicklow National Park and Glendalough. A hike could be included in the day if requested - or a sheep dog demo. (admissions/demos are extra). I am the eighth generation of an upland farm, with sheep and cattle, so know the area very well, and am proud to show it to guests.

I've lived in Dublin city centre and its suburbs all my life, and the history of Dublin along with its stories continues to surprise me, even to someone who lives here. Since I've started giving guided tours I've found it to be a lot of fun, and very rewarding to see visitors really engage with the real Dublin City. These are the streets of countless struggles for freedom, laughter, pain, joy, as well as Bono, James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, Sinead O'Connor and Arthur Guinness. . . I get distracted with stories, so you might have to remind me from time to time!, and I like to make sure that anyone who books onto my tours have the best of times! As a long time musician, who's spent a lot of time with other Irish musicians, I've also got no shortage of insights into the heart of Irish music and folklore - it's a lovely world to occupy. I also have a very special relationship with Dublin's Ha'Penny Bridge, remind me to tell you about this, you won't find the answer on Google! Dublin is an old city, but it's not a museum, it's also a brand new city - this is the same throughout all of Ireland - and I enjoy showing visitors how these worlds live side by side, so you can have fun while enjoying the city at the same time!

Located in the beautiful surrounds of Dublin, we celebrate the origin stories of Irish dishes, drinks and spirits through storytelling which allows us to make the experience even richer for our guests! By celebrating these stories, we not only highlight the history of Irish food but also give visitors a deeper appreciation of the tradition and craftsmanship behind each dish and drink. It’s like connecting the past with the present, especially as you explore Ireland’s emerging food scene. Did you know that Ireland is undergoing a food revolution and a whiskey renaissance? The focus on emerging food trends is also exciting because it shows how Ireland is evolving while still staying true to its culinary roots. It’s great to see how modern Irish chefs and distillers are shaping the future of Irish cuisine and drink, all while staying connected to the country’s cultural heritage. Taste Ireland - it’s about connecting with the heart of Irish food and drink in a way that goes beyond just tasting. By diving into the produce and meeting the locals, you're gaining a deeper understanding of not just what’s on your plate or in your glass, but the stories, traditions, and people behind it all. And of course, "having the craic" is an essential part of any Irish experience! The combination of great food, good company, lively conversation and storytelling is what makes the whole experience so memorable. It's all about immersion—not just in the food, but in the culture, the fun, the spirit and the heart of the place.
