Greetings to you all. My name is Brian, I was born in Dublin where I enjoyed city life as a kid but moved to the unspoilt countryside for the majority of my youth in County Kildare, which is apart of the greater Dublin area today. I have always been someone who would talk to anyone and combine that personality with a passion for Ireland and it's history well I've been born with a gift, gift of the gab, my tours are a gift I would like to share with you as I am a natural born ambassador for my country. I love to meet new people and share with them the incredible stories of Ireland. Its an absolute pleasure. I specialise in small private day trips, I can carry a max of 8 in my vehicle, Volkswagon Shuttle. if you have a larger group I can hire a bus to transport the group. I'm available for walking tours of Dublin. Groups of all sizes, solo travellers, couples, families and friends. Schools and University groups welcome too. I started as a Tour Guide in 2015, I volunteered in a Cathedral, I worked as a Tour Guide on a bus tour of Dublin, I worked in a history Museum, I conducted walking tours of Dublin and day trips to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway, Giants Causeway and Belfast, Glendalough and Kilkenny, Malahide and Howth and Tara and Newgrange. All in all its been and amazing adventure and I've loved every minute of it. An adventure which I look forward to on a daily basis. I'm a very experienced Tour Guide and I love questions whether its general questions about Dublin's restaraunts, bars, music scene or specific questions on the history of the country. Its a pleasure for me to share the history of the Celts, Vikings, Normans, famine, folklore, mythology, emigration and independence. I love reading and music so I love to chat about Irish writers such as Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Brendan Behan, George Bernard Shaw, W. B. Yeats or musicians such as as U2, Sinead O Connor, Thin Lizzy, The Dubliners, Clannad, The Cranberries and Celtic Woman just to name a few. I also speak the Irish language or Gaelic as some refer to it and it would be a pleasure to share and teach you some of the words of my native tongue. If you have any special requests, any niche interests, thats perfectly fine. They say every street has a story. If for example you would like to trace your roots and would like to visit a village in which your ancestors lived I can bring you there. If you're a fan of a certain musician, actor, era of history I can tailor a tour for all your interests. We can make memories together and capture that special kodak moment together. I'm very flexible and have my own transport. Looking forward to showing around our amazing city of Dublin and island of Ireland.

Overview of your Dublin tour

Finn McCool was the Giant of the Causeway in Irish Folklore who crossed the Causeway to Scotland. A volcano erupted in the region 60 million years ago from which lava flowed and created over 40, 000 hexagon columns of basalt rock, today we know it as the Giants Causeway. Dunluce Castle was built in 1513, also used in Game of Thrones and Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy Carrick-a-rede rope bridge Belfast Peace Wall

Wow, what an incredible day we had with Brian as we toured Belfast, the bridge, the Giant's Causeway and other incredible sites. Brian was informative and a pleasure to spend the day with. My son loved talking football and comedy with Brian. Highly recommend Brian for this trip. It was an exceptional day. Thank you Brian.

Brian was a gracious and knowledgeable host for our day traveling up to the Giants Causeway ans Rope Bridge. I generally like to travel the whole way with a guide, as so much useful conversation can take place in transit. We had some great history offered by Brian on the drive up, including discussion about Dublin, St Patrick, conflict in the North, and the geological forces behind the Causeway formation. I would absolutely book another tour with Brian as I continue to visit the country. That said, booking this tour with a Dublin departure was probably a bit too much travel time. Also, traveling up north is clearly very weather dependent. These attractions would ideally be visited without rain or wind, which is impossible to predict when you are planning months in advance. I would recommend booking this particular agenda with a Belfast departure.

This was a great day. As soon as we got in the car, Brian began telling us about things along our drive- most had us laughing hard with his anecdotes. The hike to the rope bridge is very physically demanding. Do not attempt unless you are in good shape. The walk across the narrow rope bridge is not for the faint of heart. One highlight of this tour is eating lunch at the Bushmill Pub. Order the Irish Stew and the sticky toffee pudding! THey had a peat fire glowing in the fireplace. this tour is a long day from Dublin but is so worth it. Brian is an excellent driver and guide.

Brian was great! He took us to beautiful, out-of-the-way places. He gave us the history of Ireland as we were driving. Very knowledgeable and had a great personality. We would definitely call on him again!

Great tour. He was able to made an addition to the tour and that made our day. He was flexible to include the things we wanted.

Our day trip with Brian to Belfast and the Giants Causeway was amazing. We appreciated the depth of knowledge he shared regarding the history of Belfast and the mythology of The Giants Causeway. We also stopped for a pint at Sean’s, the oldest pub in Ireland! A truly memorable day! We would highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a great tour guide in Ireland.
