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.
The best of Dublin, in a day, on foot!
This is a walking tour, and aims to showcase some of the wonderful historic sights in our capital city. Dublin is a beautiful city, with it's Georgian terraces and squares being particularly special. As a private tour, this can be curated to reflect your interests and fitness levels.

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.
