I am married and my wife Kathryn and I have three wonderful sons. I have been involved in tourism now since 2001. I have completed many tourism courses with our national tourism agency Failte Ireland. My expertise is in local tours to Counties Wicklow, Wexford, Meath and Louth along Ireland's spectacular east coast. I am also extremely interested in Northern Ireland, with it's troubled past and remarkable peace process, and operate private tours to Belfast on a regular basis. I can assure you that what I offer is unique. As a qualified local badged guide, you can be assured of a professional, informal and fun excursion from start to finish. My wish for you: consider booking one of my private excursion at the start of your vacation to Ireland. I will offer you a true insight into Ireland's history past and present. Let me share lots of information on places to see and things to do, this will enhance your experience on our amazing Emerald Isle. I look forward to meeting you on my tours during 2016.

We cannot thank Damian enough for providing my extended family and I (8 people, ages 16 - 86) with a most professional, enjoyable and informative day for all! We travelled in style and comfort in his spacious van and learned so much throughout the day. We visited Glendalough Monastic City (as per his suggestion) and Dublin. We loved the trip with Damian and would highly recommend to all. We even tried to book him for the next day in Belfast, but of course, he was already booked. Next time Damian!

William J.United States
Excellent tour. We saw all of the key sites, and Damian was knowledgeable, informative, and very personal throughout the whole trip. We were a group of 5 people and he made sure we were all taken care of and took his time to make sure we were together and heard his discussions. He told us about Irish history and explained each site in detail. He also showed us a great place for lunch. Thank you again.
