  • Doolough Valley - Magnificent deserted valley created by glaciers during the ice age eleven thousand years ago. The isolation is spiratual.
  • Killary Fjord - Ireland’s only fjord is dominated by high mountains on either side. The mist covered peaks will amaze you.

Additional Information

An all-inclusive excursion loaded with magnificent views, intriguing tales, and fascinating titbits. I’ll guide you through Ireland’s history, beginning from 500 million years ago (when it was submerged beneath the ocean at the equator) to the current Brexit situation! Look forward to a delightful travel with me, filled with myths, stories, and jokes that will keep you amused. I’ll enlighten you on why we drive on the ‘right’ side of the road, the inception of the military salute, and much more.

I possess a wealth of knowledge about Ireland that is bound to blow your mind! Learn more about our acclaimed authors, musicians, and the backstory of Guinness and Irish Coffee. I’ll punt you straight to the ‘Quiet Man’ film set locations. If there’s any specific subject regarding Ireland that you’re interested in, I can include that as well. I guarantee an unforgettable day with me.
