The term “Viking” captures our imagination – warriors wielding swords with horned helmets as they set sail on longboat voyages. Among those destinations was the Isle of Man, where Celtic Christianity was already well established. Discover the island’s early Christian heritage, visiting an early monastastic site with its ruined Keeills. Uncover the lesser-known story of these mysterious Norsemen, as they encountered Celtic Christians and made the Isle of Man their home. Louise is an enthusiastic Blue Badge Guide who offers a personalised experience driving you to iconic landmarks and lesser known gems that are inaccessible by public transport.

Every tour can be tailored to suit your pace, preferences, and individual needs including visiting places that are wheelchair accessible if required, so don’t hesitate to get in touch and discuss your specific needs with us.

    It’s a pleasure to provide a very positive review! Louise, our driver and tour operator, was very knowledgeable on the history of IOM! We had a lovely time viewing the mainland and exploring the Viking ruins. Louise picked us up at our agreed time and we travelled in her very comfortable vehicle. We are so impressed with our experience !! Thank you Louise! 🇨🇦 Matt and Evelyn. 🇮🇲

    We had a great day with Louise. Although we booked the Celtic and Viking tour she covered all aspects of the history of the island and how things work today including the status of the island in relation to the UK, its political system, financials, the TT race (mind boggling!), health system and island culture and traditions. We knew little when we arrived but she opened our eyes to a whole new world we had no idea about. She was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable.

  • GREAT TOUR..!
