Cead Mile Failte My name is Barry and I'm a vibrant travel enthusiast from the smallest county in Ireland. I'm a fully approved Failte Ireland National Tour Guide and hold a full SPSV licence. I've been doing private tours of Ireland in my fresh luxury MPV for over 8 years now (Up to 6 persons per tour). I've a real passion for my country and the feedback I get from my guests makes doing my job all the more satisfying. I really like to go 'above and beyond' to make the experience extra special for all my guests. I'm a country boy at heart and grew up on the family potato farm outside Ardee, in County Louth. I travelled the world all over in my 20's and developed a true love for what I now do back then. Meeting new people and simply having the best fun. I worked many years in the Food and Drink industries in various sales management roles before eventually been brave enough to set up my own adventure within the tourism sector. I'm a major sports fan and in particular for our own national game 'Gaelic Football' which I played for many years and have coached at senior level. I'm extremely passionate about Irish History, Heritage and Culture and my tours really give you an insight into the real Emerald Isle.

Barry was fantastic. He gave us all the insights to Gaelic football and the GAA, pointed out interesting details through Dublin and made sure we were on time with great craic at each stop. Went above and beyond and catered to anything we wanted to do. Great day!

Barry did an excellent job of designing a day trip that allowed us to see some unique sights outside the crowds of Dublin. My husband enjoyed the photography opportunities and we were very appreciative that Barry got us back to our Cruise Ship safe and sound. We would highly recommend Barry for others looking to explore Dublin!

This is one of the best tours we ever had. I'm always concerned when we travel that my 15 year old son won't enjoy the tour as much as my husband and I. Well, Barry our tour guide made this day amazing. He was knowledgeable, and willing to accommodate our every request. If you ever go to Ireland Barry is the guide you should use.

We only had 1 day in Dublin & we booked toursbylocals and used Barry for our guide. He is the best tour guide I have had. He customized our day in Dublin to everything we asked for & then exceeded all expectations. He personalized the day with his own life's experiences which provided a very personal connection. He made the most of our day and left us with a great desire to return to Dublin & call on Barry. We highly recommend Barry for any tour you have in mind for Dublin & throughout Ireland.

I didn't think that starting the tour at a football stadium was going to be interesting. What an eye opener. Finding that football and hurling were part of the fight for Irish Independence was amazing. Barry did a great job and we had a wonderful tour. Erin Go Braugh!
