Hi…I'm John, an adventure guide of Ireland and owner of my own tour business in Ireland, I'm happy to welcome you to my site, my adventure and my country. I'm sure your tour here in Ireland will be one of your greatest holidays too. I started working as a tour guide here in Ireland as a result of the many tours and adventure activities I have completed abroad and here at home in Ireland. Having hiked solo and in groups throughout Sardinia, Italy, India, Australia, Ethiopia and Ireland and having cycled and hiked throughout Kerry, I decided to open my tour business here in Ireland to suit you. I want my tours to be about you and what your dream adventure of Ireland should be. I take only small groups with a maximum of 7 people in my super comfortable limo minbus. Let me entertain you with the unique history and mythology of southwest Ireland, it really is a wonderful county to visit. I intend to meet all your expectations of what a private tailor made tour should be… with a mixture of bikes, hikes kayaking horse riding and other adventures all done in spectacular settings and in comfort…I have learned from talking to the many tourists we get here, that what they really want is to get away from the mainstream tour buses and to meet the locals, to explore ancient and significant places and to do this all at their leisure , so on my tours here in Ireland you'll enjoy exploring off the beaten path. You'll get to have the craic with the locals, have picnic lunches on hillsides, beaches and mountains and I'll personally be your guide to some of Kerry's and Ireland's greatest places like skellig Michael, the lakes of killarney and Mt Carrontuohill. I am originally from Kerry, born and bred and am now based in Kerry and therefore I like to pride myself in being able to showcase my beautiful county, known as the kingdom as no others can…. as a local. Kerry has it all in terms of scenery, the longest beaches, the highest mountains and the tidiest towns and as we say in Kerry there are only two Kingdoms…the kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Kerry. . There is so much to do in Kerry besides cycling and hiking from boating with dolphins to surfing lessons, from kayaking with seals to refreshing seaweed baths. You will enjoy the seafood and the pints in Sibin styled pubs , the genuine warmth and humor of the local people. I will be delighted to help you in any way I can on your tour and I most definitely will tailor every tour to suit your needs, whether you are travelling alone or as a couple or larger groups I can help with all your queries at any time. On every tour that I display here on ToursByLocals I want to reaffirm that they can be adjusted to suit your times and needs as I know from experience every one has different requirements OK Take care and God bless Looking forward to hearing from you Certified Limousine Driver SPSV certified World Traveller Engineering diploma ( Civil Engineering) English TEfL Teacher No Restrictions
