Balor Otherworld
I am a storyteller and private guide living in the west of Ireland all my life. After years working in the private sector I chose to create my own business to sustain and nurture Irish storytelling and offer immersive private tours of Ireland. The tours include visits to hidden gems and a personalised experience. Based on your interests and timings, I craft the most practical experience to ensure you get the most from your time with me. When I am not touring or performing storytelling, my time is spent researching and expanding my understanding of the stories from across Ireland. The stories I tell suit all ages as the topics include history, heirtage, folklore, mythology, urban myth, true crime, fantasy, literary tours, ghost tours etc. The focus is on you, and making sure you get not only excellent value for money but an unforgettable experience to share with your loved ones.

Christopher Byrne
**Best for solo travellers, older visitors, couples, and small groups who want a relaxed local experience at a comfortable pace** Based in Ventry and Dingle, I offer relaxed local walk, hike, sea swim, and bike outings for visitors who want to experience the Dingle Peninsula at a comfortable pace. These are not extreme adventure tours. They are about getting outdoors, enjoying the scenery, hearing local stories, and getting the inside track on one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland. As a lifelong weather enthusiast, daily sea swimmer, and local guide, I shape each outing around the people taking part, the weather, the tide, and the conditions on the day. Tours can be gentle, scenic, and easygoing, or a little more active if that suits you. The areas covered include Ventry, Dingle, nearby coastal routes, quiet backroads, beaches, safe swim spots, local viewpoints, and places visitors can easily miss. Most outings are 2 to 4 hours, making them ideal for solo travellers, older visitors, couples, and small groups who want a relaxed local experience without committing to a full day. A tour might be a gentle coastal walk, help finding a safe place to swim, a swim followed by a sauna, a relaxed local bike route, or time for coffee and a chat. No special experience is needed. Just bring comfortable clothes, curiosity, and a willingness to see Ventry and Dingle like a local. 2-hour outing: from €120 solo / €150 for 2 people 3-hour outing: from €180 solo / €225 for 2 people 4-hour half-day: from €240 solo / €300 for 2 people Extras such as sauna, bike hire, food, or transport are charged separately. *ventryweather.com/book For solo/couple travellers, I can usually arrange a convenient meeting point in Ventry or Dingle, and where practical I may be able to meet you at your accommodation. Any pick-up or transfer must be agreed in advance and is offered only as part of the guided outing, not as a standalone transport service.

Lisa Cotter
Hello!! I’m Lisa, For years I’ve hiked the Dublin and Wicklow mountains, wandered through the warren of Dublin streets or strolled through the various parks and places of interest that are hidden in plain sight around the city. I often see people reading maps, or following apps on their phone and think wouldn’t it be easier if I could just show them around..
