Cead Mile Failte - One Hundred Thousand Welcomes :) Hi ladies and gents abroad and a warm welcome to my profile page here. My name is Cathy and I am an Irish born and bred tour guide based in our beautiful capital city, Dublin. I have been in the travel industry for over 20 years now and have worked as both a world wide travel manager for a large American company and also as a host and tour guide across Ireland and Europe for the past 8 years. Having worked and travelled quite extensively in the past, I have had the great pleasure of meeting a number of different nationalities and experienced their cultures It has been a great experience for me to work with so many different types of people from young children to the more mature folks enjoying their retirement years Nowadays however, my greatest joy is to show off my own beautiful city and country to all of you from around the world I am always delighted to meet and engage with new people and show them the very best of this lovely little country and help them make memories that will last a life time I am a very friendly and fun but sincere person and I aim to give my guests interesting but fun tours during their time in the city or country I am always open to reworking tours and tweaking or designing new tours to satisfy what any particular individual or group is interested in too and this has made me a popular guide here in Ireland I am like most Irish people in that I do not over brag about myself but I can say with honesty that I am a genuinely professional guide who wants nothing but my groups to home happy and fully satisfied that they have been shown a good time and had lots of fun with me during their time in Ireland If you want to get in touch with me to arrange or book a tour or discuss and preferences or things you would like to do here that are specific, please feel free to email me and I will get back to you promptly Bye for now - my friends to come :) Cathy Failte Ireland - Badge - National Guide Registered Member - Institute of Travel Management of Ireland Registered Member - Tour Guide Association - ATGI Registered Member - World Federation of Tour Guides TUSLA Certified - To work with children and teens Garda Vetted to accompany minors

Cathy and I spent the day walking around Dublin.She is very knowledgeable about Irish and Dublin history.Seems like she knew everyone. She showed me everything from bullet holes from 1916 to churches and Trinity College.She is a walking encyclopedia! Tour was at a good pace and we stopped frequently for bathroom breaks and a glass of Guinness for me.I would highly recommend her services.

Cathy was an amazing guide. She knew everything and everyone knew her. Highly recommend.

My husband and I had never been to Dublin so we decided we needed some help. We booked a walking tour of the city with Cathy and we are very glad we did. She shared her knowledge of Dublin and its history with us. Probably not something we could have done on our own. She was also very flexible and if we asked to see something that wasn't necessarily part of the tour, she was very accommodating. Thanks Cathy for a great day!
Alan C.United States
We all really enjoyed the tour. After we finished w really felt that we had a good handle on Dublin. We felt like we had a good overall understanding of the city layout and history in one day.
