Ian Brophy
As an experienced tour guide with Galway Civic Trust, I have a deep passion for sharing the rich history and natural beauty of Galway and the West of Ireland. I lead engaging and informative tours that highlight medieval Galway, the unique Claddagh village, the Waterways of Galway and the Famine of Galway. As a Regional and National Tour Guide, my tours provide visitors with a broader understanding of our culture, heritage and appreciation of Connemara, the Burren and the Wild Atlantic Way. Being a true nature enthusiast, I offer a wealth of knowledge about the local flora, fauna and wildlife conservation issues. My immersive tours offer something truly special for the visitor.

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.

Judith ( Judy ) O'Shea
I was born in Annascaul on the Dingle peninsula on a dairy farm , one of 8 children. I grew up on the Dingle Peninsula then moved between the cities of Limerick, Dublin and Cork for work after College. ( I have an honours degree in Economics and Sociology from UCC). I have worked in Community development , I.T. , Accounting over my career. I then moved home to Dingle and I now have 11 years of experience as a driver guide. I have crewed and guided on the Blasket island ferry and driven private Golf and Heritage tours nationally on multiday tours. My favorite parts of the job is showing our quirky neolithic monuments that are scattered everywhere in the country to visitors.....showing them how to see them in the landscape and understand what are they seeing as they drive along. Also bringing families to their last known address / townland before their families emigrated ( usually in the 19th C ) to North America. We often connect with living relatives due to speaking to locals and good fortune ☘️🍀 I also do day tours from Killarney and Dingle...
