About Brede

Brede Merrigan is the founder and badged driver-guide behind Crystal Tours Ireland. Brede wanted to do the most important thing that she loves most in the world—showcasing the breath taking beauty of Ireland to visitors and ensuring they have the best vacation of their lives. With a heart full of Irish pride and an unwavering commitment to excellence, Brede built this company to offer more than just a tour; she offers a genuine connection to the land, its history, and its people.

Brede absolutely adores what she does, and that passion is the crystal-clear foundation of every journey we create.

Behind the wheel of our fleet of modern, comfortable vehicles, you'll find knowledgeable storytellers who are eager to share not only their extensive knowledge but also their own personal stories and local insights. They are the key to unlocking the real Ireland, taking you beyond the guidebooks to experience the hidden corners, the warm welcomes, and the inside stories that make this island so unforgettable. With Crystal Tours Ireland, you're not just seeing the sights; you're experiencing Ireland through the eyes of people who cherish it most.
