Congratulations on finding the profile of one of Ireland’s highest-ranking tour guides! My name is Adam, and for over a decade, I've had the privilege of guiding guests through the beautiful Emerald Isle. Having toured over 80,000 people to Ireland’s most iconic destinations, I can assure you that you're in safe hands when you book a tour with me. I was born in Dublin and raised in the scenic county of Laois, where my passion for Irish history and culture began. This curiosity led me to travel across Europe, and beyond, to places like Turkey, Vietnam, and the United States. It was this love of learning and discovery that ultimately steered me toward a career in tour guiding. While many of my friends pursued more traditional paths, I chose to follow my heart and immerse myself in the study of history. That decision led me to tour guiding, where I discovered my true calling. Over the years, I’ve guided tours at some of Ireland’s most prestigious sites, including Kilmainham Gaol and the National History Museum. Tour guiding is more than a job to me - it's a passion. Spend just a few minutes with me, and you’ll quickly see how much I love sharing the rich history and culture of Ireland with others. I’m eager to offer you an authentic Irish experience, tailored to your interests and needs. Since joining ToursByLocals in 2019, I’ve had the pleasure of helping guests from around the world experience Ireland in a unique and personal way. Whether you're interested in history, culture, or scenic beauty, I’ll ensure you have a memorable time. Here’s a quick snapshot of my credentials: • Master’s Degree in History & Media (UCD) • Bachelor’s Degree in History & Politics (UCD) • Fáilte Ireland Certified National Tour Guide. • Lecturer of National Tourism Award. • “Travellers’ Choice Award” from TripAdvisor (2021-2025) • Over a decade of experience guiding in Ireland. I’m happy to accommodate your schedule, interests, and any special requests you may have. Please don’t hesitate to contact me - I look forward to helping you experience the best of Dublin and beyond. Céad Míle Fáilte (one hundred thousand welcomes), Adam

Adam was fantastic! He is incredibly knowledgable - he fielded all my questions with ease - and fun to be around! He took us to some really cool bars I wouldn't have known about and seamlessly talked to us about fun and informative Irish history, mixed in with so much more information about the Guinness family and the beer than we'd learned on their tour! I highly recommend Adam and this tour! He makes history really fun Also to note - we did a private tour with our baby and Adam accommodated us so well

We did the Pub tour with Adam and had blast. Adam is super knowledgeable -- we discussed everything Irish: culture, politics, religion, history, food, beers, etc. It was like having a family friend in Ireland to show you around. We enjoyed a great meal, walked to several pubs and talked history as we did it. The highlight was learning about Guinness and tasting what we believe to be the best Guinness on tap, in the world! I highly recommend TbyL's and Adam in particular, worth every penny!

After two years in the planning and a pandemic we were finally able to take our trip to Ireland and Adam did a fantastic job introducing us to Dublin and some history and of course some Guinness and whiskey! Definitely recommend him and his tours!
