A wonderful tour that has everything! Spectacular scenery, super stories and amazing anecdotes. I explain the history of Ireland from 500m years ago (when Ireland was located under the sea below the equator) to Brexit! I will keep you entertained en route with legends, stories and gags that will keep you laughing. I will explain why we drive on the 'correct' side of the road, the origin of the military salute and lots more.
I have a treasure chest of jewels about Ireland that will amaze you! Find out more about our writers, musicians and the history of Guinness and Irish Coffee. I will take you to some of the Quiet Man film locations. If you have any areas of particular interest in Ireland I can cover that for you as well. I promise you a fantastic day with me.

Wonderful tour guide in Ireland

5.00Neal Doherty spent two full days with the two of us driving us north and south of Galway (so both the Connemara and the Cliffs of Moher tours) It was just wonderful. He was fun and interesting and it was just A+. I have a list of the really great folks we have been able to travel with over the past few years and he is on it. The next time we go to Ireland, I will plan to book him well in advance. He seems to cover all or at least most of Ireland. What more can I say? He was great.
