'The highlight of my trip to Ireland'. . . . is a review that I have received numerous times. Dig your hiking boots out. . . . I specialise in taking you on stunning walks and short hikes in our spectacular places. I work full time as a guide, so provided you are quick enough, you should find lots of availability. The Causeway Coast and Glens is one of the most beautiful corners in Ireland - up in the very north east. My tours specialise in truly experiencing the best of the stunning landscapes by (largely) dodging the popular attractions in favour of spending quality time out in the landscape. . . we still visit the top spots but in a much more unique and memorable way. Whether it is hiking along the stunning Causeway cliffs for 5 miles (8K) to reach the Causeway stones or visiting a truly hidden gem for walking at Murlough and Fair Head, I pride myself in delivering authentic tours IN the landscape, not just driving past for some photographs. I've been a guide since 2013 and I absolutely LOVE showing this beautiful place, that I get to call home, to visitors from around the world. I have a degree in Irish History and am happy to talk about history but I equally love the bird life, the sheep, the farming heritage, the spring flowers, the geology etc. I am Belfast born and bred. I have also travelled the world including living abroad for five years. I have visited the United States over 15 times as well as numerous places across Europe, Asia and Australia. I've lots more to see though. I even walked the 500 mile Camino de Santiago in 2012. . . a journey that ultimately led to me giving walking and hiking tours in my native Ireland. I LOVE being in the outdoors but more importantly I love creating the experiences for you that have been described by others as the 'highlight of my trip to Ireland', or 'a tour I will cherish for the rest of my life', . . . Since 2013 when I started as a guide, I've delivered thousands of tours for thousands of people across all types of tours, from 50 seat coaches to guiding just two people on a short hike. I am now proud to offer private tours in my own vehicle. I excel at adapting tour, route and pace to my guests. My tours are perfect for people who really want the road less travelled. In order to enjoy my tours you simple need a base level of (average) fitness, an interest in being in the outdoors and a minimum level of appropriate footwear and clothing. If you are active and looking for something truly unique and off the beaten path then I very much look forward to hearing from you. . . or better yet. . . if I'm available and you are too. . . then just book it! See you at the pick up location. . .

Feeling active and keen to be out in the Irish landscape enjoying the wind in your hair, the sight of grazing sheep and amazing cliff views all while making your way to the world famous Giant's Causeway? Then dig out your best walking shoes or boots and let me show you a unique way to experience the Causeway coast. Picking up at our agreed location in central Belfast (or nearby), this full day tour includes a visit to cross the Carrick-A-Rede rope bridge (tickets can be bought on the day) and a stunning hike along the Causeway cliffs plus a visit to the UNESCO site of the Giant's Causeway stones. The Causeway Coast and Glens is one of the most beautiful corners in Ireland - up in the very north east. As a Belfast born and bred guide, I love being in the outdoors but more importantly I love creating the experiences around this place I call home, to visitors from all around the world. If you are looking for something truly unique and off the beaten path then I very much look forward to hearing from you.
We had an absolutely wonderful day with Elmear when we visited Northern Ireland. We started our tour in a downpour of rain, so walking the Giant's Causeway wasn't going to happen. Instead we told Elmear to plan the revised itinerary for the day and she didn't disappoint! We got to see so much of the countryside which wasn't accessible to the big tour buses. Don't hesitate to book with Elmear. Even if the weather doesn't cooperate for a walk, you'll have a marvelous day.
Eimear was amazing! We had great communication and learned a lot on our walk and drive. I would highly recommend seeing the Giant's Causeway this way. It is a scenic hike/walk. It makes the Causeway even more worth it.
My husband and I had a wonderful day trip with Eimear! She was prompt, friendly, and even allowed for us to adjust the tour to visit Bushmills Distillery when we realized how close we were. She is very knowledgeable, and would highly recommend doing the hike as you learn a lot along the way and experience the coastal causeway in person. We had a great time!
Great way to get highlights of Northern Ireland. Eimear tailored a great tour that Maximized our day in Belfast with coastal drive to causeway and city highlights
I was really wonderful trip. I recommend it to all of you !
What a fantastic guide Eimear is!! Not only did she plan a perfect day for us, she had in depth knowledge of history and geology to share along the way. Started out being our guide and ended up being our friend. Very friendly, personable, and down to earth. We shared our love for the outdoors. Best tour guide I've ever had.
