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

On this tour, we’ll explore Dublin’s southside, historically known as 'British Dublin,' a more affluent area with strong British influence. We'll visit two of the city’s most iconic cathedrals—Christchurch and St. Patrick’s—while discussing the Reformation’s impact and how it shaped modern Christianity in Ireland. The tour combines visits to these stunning cathedrals with an exploration of Dublin’s rich history, including major events and their lasting effects on the city today.

Adam met us at the designated time and took us on a wonderful tour of Dublin. We went through Trinity College Campus, multiple parks, Christchurch and Saint Patrick's Cathedrals and Dublin Castle and the Gardens. We were able to see the book of Kells. He was very knowledgeable, teaching us about Oscar Wilde, the history of Dublin and its cathedrals, and all sorts of other things. We had a lunch of fish and chips from Leo and Burdocks which was amazing as well. I highly recommend this tour and Adam.

Wonderful... Adam made the experience memorable... He was personable and knowledgeable. He was not only knowledgeable regarding the current events in Dublin, but also knowledgeable regarding the history and folklore of Dublin and the sites we visited. This gave us an insight into the city and the people of Dublin. This one on one experience was exactly what we were looking for.
