Hello my name is Eddie and I am the second youngest of 3 brothers and a sister. I was born in Limerick, in the backdrop shadow of King John's castle on the banks of the Shannon river. I began working as a taxi driver back in 2007 before going on to doing tours back in 2019. I am a very proud Limerick man, very passionate of my city and more so of my country. I adore showing off the majestic beauty of the Emerald Isle. I also manage my own traditional/folk music band. I started out managing our group which had zero followers on social media originally, to now having currently over 31, 000, going from doing one or two gigs a month to three and four gigs a week! I mention this because I always try to incorporate/treat my clients to some private live music sessions on particular tours where possible! I am a professional SPSV licensed driver. I also manage an Irish folk group where I organise anything from small gigs in a pub to running our own festivals. I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside any of the historical sites/monuments.

Overview of your Shannon tour
The Shannon-to-Connemara tour is more than a scenic drive. it’s a full sensory immersion into Ireland’s natural and cultural heritage. From mountain peaks to lake reflections, from Kylemore’s romantic turrets to Cong’s riverside quietude, every stop reveals another side of the Irish spirit: wild, warm, and deeply rooted in story. Step off your flight, board your waiting coach or private car, and set out on a route that feels like stepping back in time into a land where nature and legend still walk hand in hand.
