Karin Janssen
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.

Derek O'Keeffe
My journey in the Irish travel industry began early, shaped by a family love for the island’s landscapes and stories. Over more than 26 years, I have built a reputation for designing private tours that feel relaxed, thoughtful, and deeply personal. Recognised as Ireland’s 2025 Bespoke Tour Operator of the Year, I am trusted by travellers who value insight, care, and a genuine connection to the places they visit. Decades spent exploring Ireland’s quieter corners have given me an intimate knowledge of the country, from the dramatic Atlantic coastline to the understated charm of rural villages. I have an understanding of Irish history, folklore, and local life that turns each journey into a living narrative. With me as your guide, travel becomes more than sightseeing, offering moments of connection with the people, stories, and traditions that define Ireland. Known for tours that are refined yet unhurried, I brings together comfort, flexibility, and local insight in a way that feels natural and effortless. Our story and approach are reflected in every journey, whether travelling along the Wild Atlantic Way or through Ireland’s Ancient East, with guests experiencing the country at their own pace, guided by someone who knows Ireland not just as a destination, but as home.

Tony Keane
Hi, my name is Tony and as someone living on the Dingle Peninsula with involvement and employment in the tourism industry for the past 20 years, I decided to start a traditional pub tour in Dingle Town to showcase the amazing pubs we have on our doorstep to our visitors, it is the only tour of its kind. We have had a successful first year with over 30 tours and 170 people but now the focus is to grow the tour bigger and better for guests to Dingle in 2026 with more singing, storytelling, music, traditional Irish pub snacks and maybe even a bit of dancing who knows :) /
