Hi, my name is Donncha and I would be delighted to be your private driver/guide on your trip to Ireland. Based in County Laois in the midlands of Ireland, I am well located to cover many parts of Ireland. My tours will take you through my own county of Laois, my neighbouring County Kilkenny, County Carlow, County Tipperary and all along the west coast of Ireland - Cork, Kerry, Clare, Galway & Mayo. I offer day trips from Dublin to the likes of Wicklow, Kilkenny and Kildare. Tours of the midlands cover Laois, Offaly and Westmeath while in 'the sunny south-east' I can take you to Wexford and Waterford. I have been operating as a driver/guide for over 10 years. I am a qualified guide, approved by Failte Ireland, our national tourism agency. Your transport will be a Mercedes V-Class with leather seats and air-conditioning. I am passionate about my country, its history and its people and am proud to have been able to demonstrate its beauty and culture to so many people in the past. Always flexible, I am able to take you 'off the beaten track' to show some of the hidden gems of Ireland or any areas and places that might be of special interest to you. I have particular interest in all things outdoors including hiking and walking trails and love to be able to show some of the obscure and quirky features of Ireland's varied and complex history. - Qualified tour guide as approved by Failte Ireland (Ireland's tourism authority) - Vehicle licensed and insured for commercial passenger transport (up to 6 passengers)

Overview of your Dublin tour
My tour of Wicklow will bring you to one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland and one of my favorite places to visit. I will take you to beautiful homes and gardens, show you some stunning landscape and you will discover why this area is known as 'The Garden of Ireland'. This area is steeped in history and played an important part in Ireland's formation from the ancient Monastic City of Glendalough to the historic Powerscourt House and Gardens and Ireland's oldest woolen mill dating from the early 1700s. My love for this area allows me to show you it's true beauty and experience much of the heritage and culture. Situated on Dublin's doorstep, County Wicklow will be a delight for the traveler to experience.
Your Dublin tour itinerary
Pick up in Dublin City at 9am. Powerscourt House & Gardens - a short audio-visual tells the history of the house and it various families. The optional garden tour is self-guided and offers amazing scenery, formal gardens and rambling walks. At Glendalough call to the visitor centre (optional) to see/read about the life of St Kevin and his followers - then visit the ancient ruins nearby. Lunch at Glendalough or at a nearby country pub. At Avoca Woolen Mills you may take a guided tour and experience the skilled workers on site producing their wonderful array of blankets, scarves and much more. Otherwise just relax and enjoy the tranquil location, great shopping and excellent cafe. (seasonal opening). Return to Dublin approx 5pm. This is an 8-hour day trip. Remember that it is your tour and I can amend the day to suit your needs or it can be combined with some of my day trips in other parts of the country for a longer tour.
