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.

Based in Bray/ Dublin
Wicklow, Dublin, Kilkenny

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.

Hi I’m Lloyd Creagh, founder and lead guide at Creagh Travel, I find that each tour of Ireland is not just a journey, but a deeply personal experience. There is no greater pleasure for me than guiding tourists around this enchanting island, sharing the wealth of knowledge and experiences I’ve gathered over the years. Every corner of Ireland has a story to tell, and I take great joy in bringing these tales to life, whether we’re standing on the rugged cliffs that watch over the Atlantic or wandering through the cobbled streets of quaint villages steeped in history. My passion for Ireland’s heritage, its natural beauty, and its vibrant culture is something I eagerly communicate to every group I lead. For me, the most memorable moments come from seeing the awe and delight on the faces of travelers as they discover something unexpected, whether it’s a hidden waterfall, a local folk tale, or a panoramic view that takes their breath away. My aim is always to ensure that each visitor leaves with a deeper understanding of Ireland and a collection of unforgettable memories.
