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.

I asked an old friend if I should switch from community work into tour guiding......."great idea" he said; you'll get paid to talk. My motto is "Where facts and fun meet". My aim is always that clients will learn some new & interesting facts about our country, AND enjoy themselves along the way. Before taking up guiding i worked in Community and Youth work for 15 years, and this was great preparation for treating everyone as an individual, and that everyone had a story to tell. I enjoy working with all sorts of groups and individuals, and I would list my own special interests as sports, current affairs and utterly useless trivial information. Whether it's a half day stroll around Dublin city centre or a full tour of the Emerald Isle I always aim to inform and entertain, and help provide lots of good and happy memories. In case you are wondering.......I do not have a social media presence. Without being too preachy, i kinda think it's causing the collapse of western civilisation as we know it. That and old dogs & new tricks etc.
