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

Overview of your Dublin tour

If you're short in time but still want to experience the contrast of buzzing Dublin city and the rural and scenic Wicklow Mountains, I will show you both in one day. I will pick you up at an arranged time at the port and drop you after a fun-packed day, with plenty of time to board your ship. This tour will let you explore medieval Ireland and walk in the footsteps of the monks who established a monastery in Wicklow in the 5th century. I will guide you through this period of ancient Irish history and tell you tales and stories about this time. In contrast, I will take you to Dublin and show you the highlights of my beloved City. I can customize this tour according to your request.

Don was a fantastic guide who planned a fantastic day in and around Dublin and Wicklow. The area is amazingly beautiful and we were more impressed at each stop. The history we learned was so interesting, and we were blown away by the age of the sites and the history there. I can definitely say he helped us fall in love with Ireland. I would highly recommend a day out with Don, he's such a nice guy and it's a great day in a beautiful part of the world. Thanks so much, Don!

I can’t say enough nice things about Don and the wonderful day he provided for us in Waterford. The headset set and microphone he uses in his vehicle allowed everyone to hear every word. His knowledge of the history of the area was extremely impressive..Book with Don. You won’t be sorry!

We love Don! He is so knowledgable but so engaging. There were 6 of us (ages 76-82). Don understands walking limitations yet shows you so much. In addition to all the sights he gave us a very good history of Ireland. You can't miss with Don
