Hi there, my name is Sean a Corkman born and bred with Kerry ancestry and lived for a time in Boston Massachusetts, U. S. A. I have a great passion for Ireland's history, scenery , people, sport and music . I guess you could say im about as Irish as they come what with the red hair , a grandfather who played a significant role in The Irish War of Independence and a real love for Ireland and its people. Ive been a tour guide for the last number of years now. All my tours are adaptable to include any requested destination and indeed ive often done tours comprising of places that the customer has picked out themselves. I look forward to hearing from you and be assured that on my tours you will be made welcome and a little music en route will all add to your experience of touring this majestic Irish homeland. I am a fully certified driver with the Irish National Transport Authority who is Garda vetted(Police vetted) and i also hold a TEFL ( Teach English as a Foreign Language) certificate,this ensures that my speech is clear and my diction easy to understand for those on my tours. Many tourists with a little command of the English language have expressed their thanks at the way i delivered my tour trying my best to make sure they understood all the information i have to impart about our beautiful country. There are certain destinations on tour e.g.Blarney Castle or Charles Fort,Kinsale where an admission fee might be needed and i will not be guiding inside,i normally let the customers proceed on their own at this point.
