Mary Sol Casado
Greetings! I moved to Ireland back in 2013. After living here for 13 years, I've come to love this country as my own (Venezuela) and really enjoy sharing my knowledge on the Irish history and culture. Nowadays, I live in Cobh and definitely came here to stay. Besides having stunning scenery worthy of countless social-media posts, Cobh is one of the most important and interesting local attractions I love to show my guests: its historic links to the Titanic and Lusitania make it a must-see in Cork and Ireland. Painting, writing, travelling and making music are some of the things I like to do during my free time. I also enjoy translating books and documents on Irish history because this is a great way to gain more knowledge. Upon moving to Ireland, I've specialised in tourism for large and small groups. In 2021, I became a certified national tourist guide. I can fluently speak three languages: English, Spanish and French, but I've had the opportunity of guiding people from all over the world, as well as other locals. It is great to see and compare the different perspectives of tourists and guests from far-away countries. What I enjoy the most is that I always end up learning something new.

Conor Hegarty
Hi I’m Conor a fully qualified Irish tour guide. I specialise in private half day bespoke walking tours of Dublin City for families and small groups. My tours are lighthearted and fun. I enjoy telling my guests the funny names we have for our statues and also enjoy singing a song or two along the way. For lovers of the great outdoors I love to bring my guests to Howth, a lovely fishing village close to where I live to take them along the famous cliff walk to see Baily Lighthouse. Contact me for a great half day tour of Dublin City or Howth. I can tailor the tour to your group’s specific interests. Conor

Creagh Travel
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.

Ciaran Hayden
Ciarán Hayden is a fully qualified national tour guide based in Dublin and Wicklow, with a passion for bringing Ireland’s rich past and vibrant culture to life. A graduate of the Bord Fáilte National Tour Guide programme at the Portobello Institute in Dublin, Ciarán has spent the past three years guiding visitors through the stories, streets, and flavours that define the region. Specialising in modern Irish history and the elegance of Georgian Dublin, Ciarán blends deep historical knowledge with a natural gift for storytelling. His tours explore everything from cultural landmarks and hidden corners to the best of local food and traditional pubs, offering guests an authentic and immersive experience. He also brings a particular depth of insight into Huguenot Ireland, tracing the influence of refugee communities such as the La Touche family, whose Delgany branch played a significant role in the social and economic development of Wicklow. By weaving these narratives into the broader story of Ireland, Ciarán highlights the lasting legacy of migration, enterprise, and identity. His storytelling further extends to Ireland’s long and complex struggle for independence, from the uprising of 1798 through the revolutionary period of the early 20th century and into the present day. With a balanced and engaging approach, he helps visitors understand the people, events, and ideas that shaped the nation. Before becoming a guide, Ciarán served for 28 years as a firefighter — a career that shaped his calm presence, sharp insight, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Today, he brings that same dedication and energy to every tour, ensuring each group leaves with a deeper understanding of Ireland and a few great stories to tell.
