Céad míle fáilte! I'm Don, a professional driver and tour guide based in Dublin. My beloved city has so much to offer, is home of the famous Guinness and rich in culture and unique history.

I grew up in the Irish capital and after travelling around the world in my twenties, I fell in love with tourism and realised my country Ireland had so much to offer and show. I started tour guiding and grew a passion for it and Ireland's beautiful landscape, culture and unique history.
I'm now operating independently, owning my own luxury Mercedes vehicles.

When I'm not guiding tours, I show my two wonderful daughters and my German wife Ireland's beauty and I take them to my favourite places and hikes around Dublin and Wicklow.

I'm a well-organised but very spontaneous and fun person and guide the same time.

Come on a journey with me and explore the highlights as well as the hidden gems Ireland has to offer. I'm looking forward to being part of your vacation in Ireland!

Blarney castle was subsequently occupied at one time by Cormac McCarthy, King of Munster, who is said to have supplied four thousand men from Munster to supplement the forces of Robert the Bruce at the battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Legend has it that the latter king gave half of the Stone of Scone to McCarthy in gratitude.

On this private guided day tour, we leave Dublin to travel south through the majestic countryside, visiting Tipperary along the way, to see the Rock of Cashel and its wonderful ruins dating back to the 5th century before we see the world famous Blarney Castle.
