About Karin

I’m a multilingual tour guide and professional photographer originally from the Netherlands, living in Ireland since 1997. I’m passionate about Irish culture, history, and folklore, and I love sharing the magic of Ireland through all 6 senses. I speak English, Dutch and French, with basic German and Russian.

I studied French, Dutch and Russian translation in Brussels in the 90s, where I met an Irishman who brought me to Ireland—where my own Irish story began. After several years in the corporate world, I followed my passion and became a tour guide to bring more meaning and magic into my work.

Today, I offer immersive Irish experiences where you can see castles and ancient churches, smell turf fires, taste traditional soda bread, feel the sea mist, hear live trad music, and discover Irish myths and ghost stories.

Based in Bray, Co. Wicklow, I’m ideally placed to explore the Garden of Ireland, including Glendalough, mountains, waterfalls, and stunning coastal scenery. I also offer professional photography to capture your journey and create lasting memories.

My name is Gideon Kaltenbacher. I come from Germany and I have been living in Ireland for 20 years. I am currently based in Tralee, Co. Kerry. I offer walking tours in German and English in Tralee and in Killarney, but also in Cork and Dublin. I have several different tours on offer for these locations and 2 for Tralee, 2 for Killarney. I teil you stories and history, but also let you dive into the Irish culture and I connect you with locals. You can combine my walking tours with visits to visitor attractions, like for example the Kerry County Museum or the Killarney House.
