I have been sharing my love for Ireland through tourism for over 20 years. A native of Connemara, my family has been part of the tourism world for centuries. I was fortunate to attend the famous Kylemore Abbey School, and I still remember standing on the bridge overlooking the abbey as a student, quietly promising myself that one day I would return—this time as a guide—bringing visitors to Kylemore Abbey and other breathtaking corners of Ireland. That dream led me to study Tourism and later Eco-Tourism, driven by a deep desire to protect and preserve our stunning landscapes for future generations. A remarkable sister at Kylemore Abbey once encouraged me to follow my dreams, and today, there is nothing I love more than unveiling Ireland’s hidden treasures to my guests. All our tours are taken in the comfort of a 7-seater luxury vehicle, ensuring a personal, relaxed, and immersive experience as we explore together.

    Colleen was exceptional! She was informative, gave us great history on the areas, and made us feel like our tour was designed specifically for us. We could not have had a better day and experience! She is amazing! And the Cliffs of Mohr are truly magnificent, we could have spent the whole day!

    Colleen (in green) is a terrific guide. She’s knowledgeable, fun, and very flexible in her tour. We couldn’t have been happier.

    We had a wonderful tour and were able to go see the Shrine at Knock (which is on the 2025 Jubilee pilgrimage sites). Colleen did a magnificent job of getting us into the countryside and showing us many of the small villages in Ireland. We came to Galway via cruise ship and were very happy to have the tour with Colleen all around the country side.
