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...
Kristoffer Muciek
Hi, my name is Kristoffer I am a Kerry-based driver‑guide, photographer, and storyteller whose work is rooted in a deep love for people, place, and heritage. Originally from Poland and proudly at home in County Kerry, I have spent nearly two decades exploring, documenting, and sharing the landscapes, legends, and lived history of Ireland’s southwest. As the owner of Kris M Tours, I create private, story‑rich experiences that go far beyond sightseeing. My tours blend local knowledge, humour, folklore, and hidden‑gem stops with the kind of personal connection that turns a day on the road into a memory guests carry for life. Whether guiding along the Ring of Kerry, uncovering quiet corners of Dingle, or crafting bespoke itineraries, I am known for my warmth, professionalism, and instinct for what makes each guest feel at home. Alongside guiding, I am an accomplished photographer under Kris M Photography, specialising in documentary, portrait, and event work. My images reflect a sensitivity to light, emotion, and authenticity—qualities shaped by years of observing both people and landscapes with patience and curiosity. I am also a passionate researcher and archivist, preserving family history and exploring cultural stories that connect Ireland and Poland. My meticulous approach, creative eye, and genuine care for others define everything I do, whether I am behind the wheel, behind the camera, or behind the scenes planning an unforgettable experience. Above all, I believe in the power of storytelling—through journeys, through images, and through the small moments that reveal the heart of a place.
Mary G O' Sullivan
Professional licensed national tour guide since 1992. I am a graduate of 'Genealogy' and 'Irish Heritage and Folklore' from UCC. I offer private bespoke day and multi-day tours specialising in the South West along the Wild Atlantic Way. I avoid the fixed 'bus tour' circuit as much as possible and focus on off-the-beaten-path places as well as the main attractions.
Tony Keane
Hi, my name is Tony and as someone living on the Dingle Peninsula with involvement and employment in the tourism industry for the past 20 years, I decided to start a traditional pub tour in Dingle Town to showcase the amazing pubs we have on our doorstep to our visitors, it is the only tour of its kind. We have had a successful first year with over 30 tours and 170 people but now the focus is to grow the tour bigger and better for guests to Dingle in 2026 with more singing, storytelling, music, traditional Irish pub snacks and maybe even a bit of dancing who knows :) /
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.
