Hello everyone! I'm a Certified National Guide for over 15 years and still love every minute of it! My very first tour around Ireland was with a group of corporate clients. The tour ended with us all singing folk songs in the cellar bar of a castle hotel together with an Irish rockstar who happened to be there on the night. It is that mixture of meeting interesting people coupled with the unpredictability of where the highways and byways of Ireland will lead that still fuels my enthusiasm for every tour. I also did a Masters in Business Studies specializing in Tourism Management but for me the most important "study" before every tour is to "read the audience"! Over the years I have guided many special interest groups such as journalists, actors, football teams, business and political leaders. My aim is to always to find out what makes THEM tick and respond in an informative and entertaining way. Being a mum of three kids I also know how to show families and younger visitors the sights of Dublin in a fun way. My hidden talents are playing an old traditional Irish instrument (you might get a sample during our tour) and knowing how to make proper Irish butter from scratch! ;-) Actually, I love anything food and drink related and enjoy sharing local restaurant and pub gems. Please join me on a memorable insider tour of Dublin, tailored to YOU and great fun for all in your party! Looking forward to meeting you! - Irish Tourist Board Approved National Tour Guide with over 15 years Guiding experience, fully licensed and insured. - Extensive experience with varied clients: Families, Corporate Execs, High Profile Visitors, Special Interest Groups, Journalists, Sports Teams, Adventure Seekers, Foodies and Nature Lovers. - Masters in Business Studies - Fluent German Speaker I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car/ minibus or coach with driver.

Travelling with children can be a great adventure but also poses its own challenges. Keeping little ones engaged and making it interesting for adults at the same is the unique mix of this tour. With lots of experience with kids of all ages from toddlers to teenagers, I will make it great fun for all while going at a pace that suits everyone. Allowing the flexibility to stop at a Dublin literature themed playground (we might even spot a real Irish fairy there;-) or popping into one of the city's best ice cream shops can mean "a cool tour" to little ones. But adults will see the main sights too with some hidden gems along the way. And all of you will hear fascinating stories and learn a lot about Dublin &Ireland in the process. Most importantly, you set the agenda! Rather than following a set route, we decide on the day, depending on everyone's form (or maybe jet lag), depending on weather, time of day or personal interests what we explore on the tour. Above all, everyone will have great craic!
We had such a wonderful time with Tanya! Our group ranged in age from age 4 to age 65 and she did an amazing job keeping everyone’s attention and moving at our paces. Plus some fun activities that she brought with her for the kids to try along the way! Tanya was so knowledgeable about the city history but also fun nature facts and local finds and recommendations for yummy treats throughout the area. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dublin.
Tonya was great. Lots of good information and great personality. Worked well with my jet lagged 9-year-old granddaughter. Loved making butter.
A++++ tour with Tanya! She led me and my 10 year old son through several sites on our first day in Dublin. Perfect way to start our trip. She engaged with my son so beautifully, shared Irish stories and songs, and explained history and nature in fun ways. Spot on with pace, sites, even snacks. Worth every penny. We would have missed so much going on our own. She made it fun for my son. Thank you, Tanya for helping us make these fantastic memories.
Tanya was an absolutely wonderful tour guide. Our youngest daughter, who is autistic, was very grumpy and didn't want to keep walking. With the help of an ice cream stop we were able to keep going. We loved hearing about the history of Dublin, and the song of Molly Malone. We would highly recommend Tanya for any family tour. She charmed us all and helped us feel welcome in her beautiful city.
Tanya was a joy! She was a wealth of knowledge about all things Dublin including the Trinity College/Book of Kells as well spots the locals frequent. She was upbeat, personable and did a great job engaging our group of 6 which included 2 teenagers. Highly Recommended!
Tanya was absolutely wonderful! She was patient, kind, engaging, and knowledgeable. We truly enjoyed our tour. It is difficult to keep our 7-year-old focused on anything, but she made the experience interesting even to our youngest family member with special activities such as feeding ducks, visiting a small bookshop where we were serenaded, and making butter after visiting the Book of Kells. Superb!
We will explore Dublin at your pace including the sights and areas you are interested in. For example: Trinity College & Book of Kells Irish Parliament& Government Buildings National Museum Georgian Squares National Gallery Temple Bar District Grafton Street Shopping Area Cultural Quarter Literary Dublin &Themed Playground The ducks in Stephens Green:-)
