As an Irish native with a great love of Ireland and its history, I have many years experience as a professional driver, providing a first class service to the hospitality industry. I have also conducted numerous acclaimed tours for both corporate clients and visitors to the emerald isle. I have an intimate knowledge of countryside and have a wealth of tales about the people, culture, music and the magic of the country. My tours incorporate the great scenic, historic and memorable sights as well as the 'Hidden' parts of Ireland and I can take you down the less trodden path to discover the many secrets Ireland has to offer, I can go where tour buses can't go, because it's a much smaller vehicle, as most big tour buses only go to the same old tourist traps, I avoid them if at all possible, I can tell you about the character and folklore of the nation. These tours have been commended and highly praised and have been pivotal in securing an 'Outstanding Service Award' for the Hilton Kilmainham Dublin, (a corporate client) as well as countless glowing and highly praised reviews. My bespoke tours are personalised to meet the demands of the discerning traveler, from the cruise ship passenger to the long stay visitor. Tours are guided in a luxurious ford tourneo custom executive people-carrier) with extra leg room and panoramic views with a maximum capacity of six people at an affordable rate. I have many years experience in providing a polished specialised service to tourists and corporate clients. I have a joy, pride and delight in showing my country to guests. My professionalism ensures that no detail is too small to ensure an unforgettable magical experience, for visitors who more often than not, become friends. I am the holder of a Public Service Vehicle License, issued to me by the Department of Transport in Ireland which also covers me to undertake tours.
