Failte - Welcome! Hello, I'm Michael and I look forward to showing you the best of Ireland! As an experienced Private Tour Guide, I love arranging tours to meet the needs of my guests. On my private tours I will treat you like a friend, and will show you as much as I can in the time we have together. I am a fully qualified guide, and hold the Tourism Authority National Guide Badge. You can be assured of a top quality tour if you choose to travel with me! I live and work in the beautiful County of Kerry, and studied nearby at the University in Cork City. I live close to the beautiful town of Killarney. I qualified with a BA(hons) at the National University of Ireland - University College Cork. By studying History and Geography locally, I have lots of extra local knowledge to share with guests on my tours. I completed my masters (MSc) in Dublin, so have also spent time in our capital city. I am married with 2 children, and have 20 years experience in tourism throughout Ireland. I have guided for many world famous tour companies, from student groups to VIP tours. For the last 5 years I have been a tour guide in my local area, and love guiding private tours and ensuring everyone has a great time. The most important thing for me is that everyone who joins my tour has a great time. The great thing about a private tour, is that you can decide how much information and commentary you wish me to share with you, but I am equally happy for us to relax and listen to some great Irish music! I am happy to adapt the tour to reflect your interests and requirements! As we travel together on the tour, I am always happy to make as many stops as you wish, for photos or to just to get out and stretch the legs! I find it is the stops that were not planned that are often the most enjoyable! My local knowledge means I can often recommend hidden gems along the route, making your tour even more special! Tell me what you would like to see, and I will plan a tour to meet your requirements! I am a flexible and fun guide, and would love to meet you during you vacation in Ireland!

We travel to Cahir Castle, one of the largest and historic castles in Ireland. We travel through the beautiful countryside. Visit the world-famous Whiskey distillery at Midleton in the afternoon.
Mike was a great guide. He asked what we wanted to see and figured out the best way to fit as much in as possible with no stress. His suggestions were spot on and his friendliness was very welcoming. He even gave us some local treats to immerse us in the culture of Ireland. Would certainly use him again!
Michael was great! He tailored our itinerary to our precise interests and fit in even more than we could have expected during our time together. Highly recommended. A+
