I am a father and husband who has lived in Derry all my life and have wonderful childhood memories growing up as the youngest of a family of 8. I recall magical family holidays in County Donegal. It gives me the greatest pleasure to share these amazing hidden gems with visitors. I pride myself in offering personalized and customized tours to clients fortunate enough to visit my local area. Having grown up through the troubles, my wife and I raised our three children, thankfully, during more peaceful times. As a family of five, we created life long memories with weekends 'adventuring'. We explored the length and breadth of our 'wee' Island, North and South, being excited by the breathtaking views in all weather's. Adventuring up mountains and through rivers and valleys. Visiting Castles, monuments, beaches and just simply being together. We loved delving into the legends and folklore of the local areas and now with my children grown, I am excited to continue my own adventures only this time with you as my guest. Re-creating our family adventures and providing opportunities for you to make life long memories. I am proud to show off my City and surrounding areas and proudly highlight the growth, resilience and character of the Derry people. I am proud of our history. As a descendant of Red Hugh O'Donnell the history of our clans and island was of great relevance and interest to me growing up. I am delighted to be able to share this with my clients young and old. Of Course I have the qualifications and professional experience to compliment my personal lived experiences. Having 20 years experience as a professional driver, my company was synonymous with the Derry City of Culture 2013 events. I was honored to transfer our visiting VIPs, DJs and artists during an amazing year and was involved in the official opening of our Peace Bridge and have never looked back. Almost 10 years later I specialize in executive transfers, tours, weddings and tailor made chauffeur services to suit our corporate and VIP clients. I am proud to offer a Legenderry professional service based in our Legenderry City guaranteeing my clients a professional reliable and confidential service every time. Creating memories, adventures and laughter is so important to me and I look forward to adventuring for a long time to come. .World host .P.S.V Driving licence holder 20 years .P.S.V Vehicle licence holder .D.O.E approved .Fully Licence operator .No restrictions.

What an amazing day. If you want someone who will knows are the perfect hidden jewels he is the perfect guide. Professional, attentive, great humor. It is a first class tour, where you will feel welcomed and at home from the moment he picks you up. We are already planning our next tours with him onthe return home. I can not recommend him highly enough. It will be a highlight of your holiday.

From the moment we reached out to Diarmuid, we knew it was going to be an epic day! He worked with us to plan a custom itinerary including a visit to Derry and the Antrim Coast including Gortmore Viewing point, Downhill Strand, Dunluce Castle and Giant’s Causeway. He shared his familiarity with, and vast knowledge of, each amazing stop and also shared personal stories which made the day even more meaningful. My husband and Diarmuid bonded over their love of cars and we all enjoyed hearing about the history of beautiful Ireland. The luxury van was very comfortable for all five of us and he ensured we had water, snacks and plenty of pit stops. At the end of the day, our hugs and well-wishes were heartfelt and sincere. Diarmuid, we thank you for our amazing, epic, wonderful day!

Diarmuid was a superb tour guide! We learned so much from him, and his warm, friendly manner made us feel right at home. We didn't want to see our time in Northern Ireland come to an end. He was flexible and let us set our own pace. Since he was a local native, he took us to some well-kept secrets from the typical tourists. He went above and beyond what was required in his contract with us. We will definitely recommend him to our local travel agent.

Diarmuid is an A+++ tour guide. He was completely dedicated and accommodating to our wishes. His car was spacious, immaculate and filled with snacks and water. We had an incredible day touring with lunch at a perfect spot arranged thoughtfully by Diarmuid. He shared his love for for his native Derry, enchanted us with family history and tales, all while giving us a wonderful education on Northern Ireland. If only we had one more day for touring with Diarmuid. He was that good!

Diarmiud was the consummate guide and host for our tour! Very knowledgeable and familiar with the area, he really connected with our group providing wonderful insight into the areas we toured. He generously shared stories of his own connections to the area and answered all of our questions, even the goofy ones! The van provided was very comfortable, clean and refreshments were provided. Fully recommend Diarmuid to anyone wanting to see the Wild Atlantic Way with a narrative provided by a local guide
