Hello there. I love history, driving and talking so it is no surprise I offer a luxury historical touring service. I have a Masters degree in Medieval Studies and I am a Failte Ireland accredited tour guide. My company is a Dublin Tourism Partner and I have provided press tours for visiting journalists on behalf of Failte Ireland and Dublin Tourism. I am the longest serving and the highest rated driver-guide in Dublin on ToursByLocals. I have been reviewed favourably by some of the biggest newspapers and magazines in the business. (Die Welt, VG, Volkswagen Travel magazine, Vogue). I have also worked on television travel documentaries dealing with Dublin, appeared in some of them and have even provided an open topped bus tour for the Australian X-Factor TV program. I love my city and my country and I like to share this knowledge and passion with visitors. Although Ireland is a small country we are lucky to have so much to see and do and the people are not too bad either!

A full-day private driving tour / shore excursion from Dublin
Overview of your Dublin tour
This tour takes you to County Wicklow "The Garden of Ireland". You would leave Dublin via a scenic drive along Dublin Bay before heading inland to take a guided tour of the magnificent Powerscourt House and Gardens. These formal gardens are framed on all sides by the equally beautiful wild Wicklow countryside. Then you would drive to the ancient (6th century) monastic site of Glendalough situated in the "Valley of the Two Lakes" (Gleann da Loch). One of the finest sites you will visit anywhere. Historical and beautiful. First take a guided tour of the historic ruins before viisting the beautiful Upper Lake Before you return to Dublin we drive up into the mountains to the Sally Gap for an epic scenic photo stop.

Kieran was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. We had a fantastic time and Kieran managed to alter the route to avoid the worst of the rain when we were outside. Well done . Excellent job

We loved our tour with Kieran! He was full of information and had a great sense of humor. Somehow we managed to stay one step ahead of the tour bus groups all day! Thanks so much for a great introduction to Ireland!

It was like winning the lottery when we picked Keiran for our day tour. He was professional, knowledgeable, and entertaining as he took us to the beautiful countryside. If you want an awesome day seeing the hidden gems, Keiran is the guide for you!

Kieran was so knowledgable, personable, and enthusiastic - provided one of the best tours we have ever had!
Carol G.United States
When, not if, I and my companions return to Ireland we will tour with Kieran. He is everything a tour guide should be; knowledgeable, entertaining when he should be, quiet when we were sharing among ourselves, suggesting sights we might not have known about. Did I mention knowledgeable? I was pleased that I booked with him for two days. I would book him again for multiple days.
