Hi there, I'm Vincent from Dublin, Ireland otherwise known as Vinnie! I'm an accredited Irish National Tour Guide and am licensed by the National Transport Authority Ireland. I am passionate about our History, Heritage and Culture. I'm new to ToursByLocals but not new to Guided Tours and you will see that to date my tours have been rated 5 stars. I have a background in Business but in 2021 I took the leap into Tourism and have not looked back since. I have worked in some of Dublin's most historic and well established Museums including Dublinia and Kilmainham Gaol which is one of Ireland's leading visitor sites. In 2023 I moved into Bespoke Driver Guided Tours. I really enjoy the personal nature of these tours and showing my Clients places that are not so well known - that's the beauty of Driver Guided Tours you never know where you might end up going! I specialise in Chauffeur Driven Private Day Tours from Dublin in my own luxury Mercedes vehicle. Sit back and relax on one of my bespoke Driving Tours and let me show you the stunning landscapes and hidden gems that make up our beautiful land. I can also customise your day to suit your interests to create an unforgettable trip for you. I look forward to seeing you soon in Ireland!

Overview of your Dublin tour
If like me you are interested in ancient history than a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Newgrange Co Meath is a must. Built over 5, 000 years ago and older than the Egyptian Pyramids these prehistoric passage tombs are awe inspiring and are among the most important Neolithic sites in the world. Containing the largest collection of megalithic art in Western Europe be prepared for a day you'll never forget. Your local on site specialist guide will tell you all about these magnificent structures, their symbolism and importance to the Neolithic people. After stopping for lunch in a traditional country pub we will visit Trim Castle, home to Ireland's largest Norman Castle and considered to be one of the best preserved in Ireland. Take the steps to the top for an amazing photo opportunity and listen in awe as the local guides tell you everything you need to know about this famous Castle. The day is yours so so sit back relax as we take in more breathtaking scenery on the way back to Dublin.
