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.

Brian was fantastic! He catered to our group and even managed to keep the teenagers engaged with the history of Ireland!

Our group of 6 had a great tour of Blarney Castle, stone, and gardens with Brian. Brian is very knowledgeable about all things Ireland. He reserved lunch at a great restaurant and knew all the good spots for photos. He is friendly and punctual and told interesting stories of Irelands history. Highly recommend Brian and this tour.

My family and I had a great time on this three castle tour led by Brain. He made it interesting and fun for the whole group ranging from age 52 to 14 years old.

The church and castles (many ruins) were great to see. It was a long day; however, Brian knew the best places to stop and stretch our legs. Tour the Blarney Castle is much more than the Blarney Stone. Take time to explore. Brian stopped at several other sites which made the entire day worth the time.

Brian was amazing! We are a group of 6 guys from the USA, turning 50 this year & friends for 45. We like to joke & banter, so being with a guide 12 hours could be awkward. Brian quickly understood our personalities & by the end of our time, he fit right in! In addition to the camaraderie, he brought an unbelievable amount of knowledge, continually pointing out historical locations & significance. When we arrived at the tour locations, he quickly showed us where to go & what the best things were to do, which maximized time. Along with the trips, he provided us with a ton of helpful about Dublin. Last but certainly not least, he was extremely accommodating. From pickup time & location, to mid trip adjustments, or “pit stops”. I travel alot. Brian was the best guide Ive had. It was like having a 7th friend with us, that just happened to know everything about Ireland! Thanks Brian!
