Waterford's Viking heritage runs deep, and so does my passion for sharing it. From the medieval city walls to the stunning Copper Coast, I bring Ireland's oldest city to life with stories of Vikings, Normans, and rebels.

I’m a private tour guide and driver based in the Boyne Valley, offering personalized visits to Newgrange, the wider Boyne Valley and Scenic Wicklow.

Jessie McDonald is the founder and driver-guide behind Jessie's Tours of Ireland. A qualified tourist guide, with an honours degree in Archaeology, and with full NTA-SPSV licencing and a comfortable ŠKODA Superb, I combine professionalism and reliability with a deep love of Ireland’s landscapes, history and folklore. My background in guiding — enriched by a keen interest in geology, archaeology, native flora and fauna — means every tour is crafted with care, attention to detail and a genuine desire to reveal the real Ireland.

Kilkenny's medieval streets are my playground. As a trained historian and storyteller, I bring the city's castles, cathedrals, and craft breweries to life. Join me for a journey through Ireland's most charming medieval city.

Mark is a born-and-bred Howth local who has spent his life exploring every cliff path, hidden trail, and historic corner of the peninsula. He turned that passion into Hidden Howth Experiences — a collection of award-winning tours that mix breathtaking scenery, proper Irish storytelling, great food and drink, and plenty of laughs along the way. Joined by his iconic sidekick Missy the dog, Mark creates tours that feel less like a formal experience and more like a day out with friends. Guests get the real Howth: the stories locals grew up with, the secret viewpoints, the characters of the village, and the warm Irish welcome that keeps people coming back again and again. If you want a fun, relaxed adventure with a local who loves what he does — you’ve just found it.

I’m Owen Mullan, your guide with Newgrange Day Tours. I want to welcome you to experience Ireland in a way that’s close to my heart. I’ve been a qualified national tour-guide for many years, with a deep love for Irish history, culture and landscape. I founded Newgrange Day Tours because I believe a journey is more than landmarks — it’s stories, memories, and a personal connection. I enjoy meeting new people, sharing tales of ancient Neolithic monuments, medieval castles and Celtic legends — and seeing the wonder in their eyes when they learn, laugh, and connect with the land. What makes my tours special is that they are private and tailored to you: your interests, your pace, your curiosity. Want to explore the passage tomb of Newgrange and the ancient tombs at Knowth? Or maybe prefer a more relaxed stroll through historic abbeys or medieval castles? I adapt the day so you get the experience you’ll treasure most. With a comfortable, luxury car and my stories bringing history to life, I aim to make every tour unforgettable. So come along — whether you’re visiting for the history, the mythology, or simply the beauty of Ireland — I’ll make sure your time here becomes a cherished memory.

A qualified National Tour Guide and member of the Association of Tour Guides of Ireland, I can work with an existing itinerary or help design the perfect Irish experience.
