Hi, my name is Donncha and I would be delighted to be your private driver/guide on your trip to Ireland. Based in County Laois in the midlands of Ireland, I am well located to cover many parts of Ireland. My tours will take you through my own county of Laois, my neighbouring County Kilkenny, County Carlow, County Tipperary and all along the west coast of Ireland - Cork, Kerry, Clare, Galway & Mayo. I offer day trips from Dublin to the likes of Wicklow, Kilkenny and Kildare. Tours of the midlands cover Laois, Offaly and Westmeath while in 'the sunny south-east' I can take you to Wexford and Waterford. I have been operating as a driver/guide for over 10 years. I am a qualified guide, approved by Failte Ireland, our national tourism agency. Your transport will be a Mercedes V-Class with leather seats and air-conditioning. I am passionate about my country, its history and its people and am proud to have been able to demonstrate its beauty and culture to so many people in the past. Always flexible, I am able to take you 'off the beaten track' to show some of the hidden gems of Ireland or any areas and places that might be of special interest to you. I have particular interest in all things outdoors including hiking and walking trails and love to be able to show some of the obscure and quirky features of Ireland's varied and complex history. - Qualified tour guide as approved by Failte Ireland (Ireland's tourism authority) - Vehicle licensed and insured for commercial passenger transport (up to 6 passengers)

Overview of your Laois tour

County Laois is ideally situated to allow you to discover The Irish Midlands and all it has to offer. Laois, my home county is one of Ireland's least explored counties and offers much in heritage, history and nature. From here you can easily reach counties Kildare, Offaly and Kilkenny. Dublin City is only 90 minutes away. Return each evening to Portlaoise which has an ample supply of great accommodation offerings, pubs and restaurants.
