Hi, I'm Carmel, and I am a qualified SPSV driver-guide. I am passionate about local, sustainable and responsible tourism, that is growing rapidly nationally across Ireland, and globally. I am originally from Ireland, born and raised here. I am very enthusiastic about tourism and travel in Ireland and very much enjoy being a part of our global travel culture. Relying on the skills from my Bachelor of Science in Business Degree, I decided to take on a driver guide role, and this is currently my 10th year as a driver guide. I believe in contributing to sustainable tourism development while spending time and having fun with international travelers and sharing the best that Ireland has to offer. I have good people, listening and communication skills, and I am dedicated to ensuring a really excellent travel experience for all who visit the Emerald Isle. I enjoy off-the-beaten-track moments, as well as covering the major attractions of Ireland. I am professional and friendly, and my goal is to ensure you have a really excellent time in Ireland so that you leave with many treasured memories of your tour, and with a good understanding of the history and culture of this amazing place. - Qualified SPSV Driver Guide - Member of Loophead Sustainable Eco-tourism Network - BSBE 2003, Batchelor of Science in Business Degree - Approved Provider status for Several Irish 5* Hotels.

Step out of the tourist track, escape from the crowds and get mixing with the locals on beautiful, unspoiled Loop Head. The peninsula has one of the biggest ratios of coastline to landmass on the west of Ireland, with all of it protected by EU heritage and species designations and been awarded many Responsible and Sustainable Tourism Awards. It's a day of relaxing, interpreting the local history, geography and ancient stories of the area, and of course eating some locally produced yummy food. Travel along some of Ireland's most beautiful (and hidden!) coastline of the Wild Atlantic Way. Includes a 30-minute breathtaking cliff walk in the town of Kilkee, and a visit to the Loop Head lighthouse, where some of the most recent Star Wars movie was filmed. Breathe the fresh air and be prepared to be blown away on this beautiful, less commercial and unspoiled Irish peninsula where no coaches are allowed in the scenic coastal routes.
Carmel did an excellent job showing us some local attractions that were off the beaten path. She was very flexible in altering her plans per our requests. It was fun and informational. Would highly recommend Carmel to anyone looking for a unique and customizable tour.
Carmel was a wonderful guide. She was very prompt, professional, and extremely interesting. She made our day in Foynes very interesting. We are looking forward to Carmel meeting us tomorrow for the second day of tours in Galway.
