Hi, what’s the craic? I’m Henry, a Fáilte Ireland approved National Tour Guide and professional driver based in County Donegal, Ireland. I specialise in private, bespoke Donegal tours for small groups, couples, and families looking to experience the real heart of the North West of Ireland. Born and bred in North West Donegal, I’m a native of the Donegal Gaeltacht in An Fál Carrach, with strong family ties to Tory Island (Oileán Thoraigh), where I spent many summers growing up. Today, I live in Buncrana on the Inishowen Peninsula, perfectly positioned to guide visitors across Donegal’s most spectacular landscapes. I’m a devoted husband and proud dad of three and I bring a warm, personal touch to every tour. With a background in TV and radio presenting and experience as a crew member on award-winning documentaries filmed in Donegal, I don’t just show you the sights , I tell the stories that bring them to life. I'm proud to be a Fáilte Ireland approved Local, Regional and National Tour Guide, fully licensed and insured to transport passengers. I hold both PSV and SPSV driving licences and I own a fleet of luxury Mercedes-Benz vehicles, all approved by the National Transport Authority of Ireland. My private Donegal tours are relaxed, flexible and tailored entirely to your interests and pace. Whether you’re tracing your Donegal ancestry, exploring the dramatic scenery of the Wild Atlantic Way, discovering hidden beaches, historic sites, and local culture or simply looking for a comfortable chauffeur-driven tour of Donegal, I’ll create a personalised experience just for you and your group. Join me as I show you my homeland, County Donegal and sure, we’ll have plenty of craic (fun) along the way!

Embark on a scenic journey along South Donegal's Wild Atlantic Way to witness the awe-inspiring Sliabh Liag, Europe's most accessible sea cliffs. I'll be your guide, leading you through a portion of the county's 1200km rugged coastline, passing remote Irish villages. Explore the rich maritime history of Killybegs, Ireland's premier harbour, and enjoy panoramic views from Muckross Head towards the iconic Benbulben mountain, the final resting place of our national poet, W. B. Yeats. Ascend Bunglas for a breathtaking view of the Sliabh Liag (Slieve League) sea cliffs, and brace yourself for a short hike that will leave you breathless. Afterwards, journey back in time with a visit to Glencolmcille Folk Village, offering insights into life from a century or two ago. Join me for a day filled with natural wonders, cultural richness, and a glimpse into Ireland's storied past.
