đ Hi! Iâm Jim Dempsey. Youâve found a tour that interests you. Now comes the important question: who do you want to spend that day with? âïž There will be history and storiesâand, if we are doing it properly, plenty of fun and craic along the way. That is how I want a private tour to feel: relaxed, personal and shaped around you, not like a lecture or rehearsed script. đïž Iâm a full-time professional guide with more than 20 yearsâ experience across Dublin and Ireland. Before we begin, I take time to understand your interests, knowledge and preferred pace. Bring your questions and curiosity, and Iâll make Irelandâs people, places and stories interesting, understandable and relevant to you. â Guests describe me as joyful, funny, deeply knowledgeable and a natural storyteller. Parents often mention how successfully I engage their teenagers. Many guests say that by the end, they feel more like friends than clients. đ I hold both the original Dublin City & Environs and Irelandâs National Tour Guide qualifications. I have taught the National Tour Guide programme six times and have trained and mentored many guides who built successful careers of their own. đ For driving tours, I hold a full SPSV limousine licence and use a new seven-passenger Ford Tourneo Custom. When you book with me, I am the person who communicates with you, meets you, guides you and drives you throughoutâthere is no handover between guide and driver. âš If one of my tours is what you are looking for, you can book it with confidence. If it is almost right but you would like to change the pace, emphasis or itineraryâor combine several daysâsend me a message. Iâll help you shape the experience that is right for you.
