Hi, my name is Donncha and I would be delighted to be your private driver/guide on your trip to Ireland. Based in County Laois in the midlands of Ireland, I am well located to cover many parts of Ireland. My tours will take you through my own county of Laois, my neighbouring County Kilkenny, County Carlow, County Tipperary and all along the west coast of Ireland - Cork, Kerry, Clare, Galway & Mayo. I offer day trips from Dublin to the likes of Wicklow, Kilkenny and Kildare. Tours of the midlands cover Laois, Offaly and Westmeath while in 'the sunny south-east' I can take you to Wexford and Waterford. I have been operating as a driver/guide for over 10 years. I am a qualified guide, approved by Failte Ireland, our national tourism agency. Your transport will be a Mercedes V-Class with leather seats and air-conditioning. I am passionate about my country, its history and its people and am proud to have been able to demonstrate its beauty and culture to so many people in the past. Always flexible, I am able to take you 'off the beaten track' to show some of the hidden gems of Ireland or any areas and places that might be of special interest to you. I have particular interest in all things outdoors including hiking and walking trails and love to be able to show some of the obscure and quirky features of Ireland's varied and complex history. - Qualified tour guide as approved by Failte Ireland (Ireland's tourism authority) - Vehicle licensed and insured for commercial passenger transport (up to 6 passengers)

A place close to my heart and close to where I was raised is Kilkenny City and the surrounding countryside. Let me enhance your visit to Kilkenny by relating stories of Norman invasions, burning witches, the ancient game of hurling and much more. Kilkenny City has much to offer the visitor and as well as the beautiful castle and historical houses and churches, it has wonderful pubs and restaurants with ample opportunity for shopping. Outside the city a relaxed drive will take you through beautiful countryside and quaint villages.
Pickup 9am at your Duiblin-based accommodation and travel to Kilkenny (90 mins). Kilkenny Castle - a self-guided tour takes you through the restored castle and surrounding gardens. Kilkenny City streets and St. Canice's Cathedral - a climb to the top of the round tower for the more agile. Lunch in one of the wonderful pubs or restaurants in the city. A scenic drive (time permitting) along The Nore valley through Bennetsbridge, Inistioge to Thomastown. Return to pick up point at 5pm approx. Remember that it is your tour, and I can amend the day to suit your needs, or it can be combined with some of my day trips in other parts of the country for a longer tour.
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
