I have been sharing my love for Ireland through tourism for over 20 years. A native of Connemara, my family has been part of the tourism world for centuries. I was fortunate to attend the famous Kylemore Abbey School, and I still remember standing on the bridge overlooking the abbey as a student, quietly promising myself that one day I would return—this time as a guide—bringing visitors to Kylemore Abbey and other breathtaking corners of Ireland. That dream led me to study Tourism and later Eco-Tourism, driven by a deep desire to protect and preserve our stunning landscapes for future generations. A remarkable sister at Kylemore Abbey once encouraged me to follow my dreams, and today, there is nothing I love more than unveiling Ireland’s hidden treasures to my guests. All our tours are taken in the comfort of a 7-seater luxury vehicle, ensuring a personal, relaxed, and immersive experience as we explore together.

Departing from your Galway City hotel, this private tour takes you deep into the heart of the Burren’s otherworldly limestone landscape. Stop at the iconic Dunguaire Castle, visit the ancient Poulnabrone Dolmen, and walk across the Burren’s unique karst terrain. Enjoy a traditional lunch in the Burren before reaching the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher, where the Atlantic stretches endlessly before you. Your return journey follows the scenic coast road, offering stunning ocean views. A day of history, nature, and unforgettable beauty—just for you.
Colleen was exceptional! She was informative, gave us great history on the areas, and made us feel like our tour was designed specifically for us. We could not have had a better day and experience! She is amazing! And the Cliffs of Mohr are truly magnificent, we could have spent the whole day!
We loved our tour of the Burren, the Cliffs of Moher, the Poulnabrone Dolmen, and so many beautiful surrounding towns with Colleen! Colleen was incredibly knowledgable and professional, and her insight into Irish history, local significant history and places to visit, and her overall recommendations were absolutely invaluable. Colleen was able to personalize our visit to exactly what we were looking for, and introduced us to lovely off-the-beaten-path places (like Hazel Mountain Chocolate) we would not otherwise have known about! If you are looking for a guide who knows her stuff (and how to expertly get you around Galway and surrounding places!) look no further!
Colleen (in green) is a terrific guide. She’s knowledgeable, fun, and very flexible in her tour. We couldn’t have been happier.
