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!

Gabriel is an amazing guide who impressed us all day with his knowledge of the area and love of Ireland. We learned so much about the history and sites. We enjoyed the Waterford Crystal factory tour (book that in advance, Don can tell you what time to book for) and we loved the magnificent sites and the bits on which movies were made where and which celebrities live in the area. We really enjoyed the day with Gabriel, thanks so much for a fantastic day!

Gabriel took us on a full day and fun filled tour. We truly enjoyed all of the wonderful things that he pointed out for us and his guidance and recommendations. Gabriel is very knowledgable and a wonderful guide with a truly happy personality. He made the day both educational and enjoyable for all of us. We were a family of six, that included my mother who is nearly 90 and our son who is 14 and in a wheelchair. It was an AWESOME day for all of us. Highly recommend!!
