Whether you're looking to explore the historic streets of Dublin, wander through the stunning valleys of Glendalough, take in the scenic beauty of the Wicklow Mountains, or step back in time at the ancient passage tombs of Newgrange, I’ll make sure your tour is relaxed, informative, and truly memorable.
I pride myself on offering a friendly, flexible service that goes beyond the typical tourist experience — sharing local stories, hidden gems, and a few laughs along the way. If you're looking for an authentic Irish adventure with a knowledgeable local guide, I’d be delighted to show you around.

“Highly Recommend!”
We had an amazing time on this tour from start to finish. Terry and Dermot were incredibly fun, entertaining, and knowledgeable, making the entire experience both enjoyable and informative. They shared interesting stories, local history, and little-known facts that kept everyone engaged the whole time. The pace of the tour was perfect, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions, take photos, and really soak in the experience. We would highly recommend this tour - definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

“Fun Castle Tour”
We did the Private Castles Tour with Gillian (who works with Terry). She has a great sense of humor and is very knowledgeable on Irish history. We visited three castles in a day and enjoyed the experience. Would tour again!

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.

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!
