Céad míle fáilte! I'm Don, a professional driver and tour guide based in Dublin. My beloved city has so much to offer, is home of the famous Guinness and rich in culture and unique history. I grew up in the Irish capital and after travelling around the world in my twenties, I fell in love with tourism and realised my country Ireland had so much to offer and show. I started tour guiding and grew a passion for it and Ireland's beautiful landscape, culture and unique history. I'm now operating independently, owning my own luxury Mercedes vehicles. When I'm not guiding tours, I show my two wonderful daughters and my German wife Ireland's beauty and I take them to my favourite places and hikes around Dublin and Wicklow. I'm a well-organised but very spontaneous and fun person and guide the same time. Come on a journey with me and explore the highlights as well as the hidden gems Ireland has to offer. I'm looking forward to being part of your vacation in Ireland! * Holder of SPSV (Small Public Service Vehicle) Drivers License - required in Ireland * Fully insured for carrying passengers and vehicle registered with the National Transport Authority * Certificate of professional competence in road passenger transport * Holder of professional coach license None

Experience the magic of Ireland on an unforgettable private tour of Blarney Castle. Kiss the legendary Blarney Stone, stroll through its lush gardens, and immerse yourself in the rich history and vibrant culture of Cork. Once home to Cormac McCarthy, King of Munster, Blarney Castle holds centuries of fascinating history. Legend says McCarthy provided 4,000 men to aid Robert the Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, and in gratitude, the Scottish king gifted him half of the Stone of Scone. Uncover the myths, history, and charm of Blarney Castle as you explore its stunning 70-acre parkland. Along the way, we’ll stop in Tipperary to visit the majestic Rock of Cashel, a site dating back to the 5th century, before arriving at the world-famous Blarney Castle. This private guided tour offers a captivating day out from Dublin, full of history, culture, and natural beauty. Want to customize your experience? I'd be happy to personalize the tour to suit your preferences!
Visited Blarny castle , cork and Cashel stone amongst other areas . This was our 3rd trip with Don and we all really enjoyed it . Thanks Don for taking us all over Ireland and when we come back for our next visit will reach out to you again .
Don did a fantastic job for us during the 11 hour tour. He was extremely knowledgable, helpful, funny, patient and pleasant. He knows the local histories of the areas that we visited very well. We started with a modified schedule that worked out nicely. Best of all, he suggested a revision with an addition to our day to include another attraction in order that our plans on a subsequent day (not with TBL) would go smoothly. I would definitely rebook with Don as he is a great resource and guide.
Don is an experienced guide and true Irishman with his insights, opinions, and humor. Always accommodating and added unlisted value to the tour by pointing out lots of facts (and opinions) about the history and context of things along the way and insight into current Irish politics and society. Another plus is that he is easy to understand and had a clear voice even to passengers in the third row of the very comfortable van.
