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.

Overview of your Londonderry tour

Allow me to transport you back in time and experience rural Donegal at its best. Experience the breathtaking views from the second highest Sea cliffs in Ireland. At almost three times the height of the Cliffs of Moher, at an impressive 600m above sea level, Sliabh Liag will take you a wee step closer to heaven. At the Bunglass Viewing point, my children love to try to spot the dolphins and basking sharks in the summer. The views over Donegal Bay, the Sligo mountains and Mayo are picture perfect. Pilgrims have travelled these unspoiled roads for thousands of years.

We had a great tour of Wild Sliabh Cliffs and Silver Strand Beach with our tour guide Diarmuid O’Donnell. Our drive from Killybegs was through an unforgettably beautiful part of Ireland in a very comfortable Mercedes van and we appreciated the snacks and water which Diarmuid provided. He was an entertaining, good humoured and informative guide. He gave us a history of Ireland as well as his personal account of growing up in the middle of ‘The Troubles’ and how it affected his family. Diarmuid was very thoughtful and nothing was too much trouble. We would strongly recommend Diarmuid to anyone who is looking for a guide in Ireland.

We had a wonderful experience on the tour. Diarmuid was a fabulous, professional guide. He listened well to what our priorities were for the tour. We had a group with a variety of requests. Everyone left highly satisfied. I highly recommend the Donnegal tour in general. We loved the scenery, the historic sites, the great food, and the fabulous shopping for Donnegal tweeds. We appreciated experiencing all this with a minimum of crowds.

Our guide, Diarmuid, arranged our transport from Donegal to Dublin with tour stops in between the two cities. The Belleek tour was wonderful. The marble cave tour was very interesting. Loved having comfortable transportation to take us to Dublin. A wonderful day with a super guide.

Diarmuid was the best! We requested a private tour to Donegal, Slieve League and beyond and he gave a a wonderful day touring the best sites and sharing his knowledge. In addition, his advice got us through the next few days of travel. Many thanks to Diarmuid for a wonderful day. Cannot wait to return and use his services again. Ed, Nathan, Deb & Simon.

After a white knuckle drive through Ireland last year, decided to try Tours by Locals. It's the only way to go! Diarmuid was courteous, professional and accommodating of our desires. Slieve League cliffs were closed but all of Donegal coast is stunning. Finished at a distillery which made a perfect day.
