Mireille Finnegan
Mireille( French) Finnegan( obviously Irish) L'Irlande est mon pays d'adoption. Membre de Atgi depuis 2009.Généraliste mais très attirée par les Arts, sportive et curieuse, je vous ferai partager mon amour de l'Irlande. Vous verrez, c'est contagieux! You can't forget to visit Northern Ireland and Scotland, as our history is linked since neolithic time. Outside of Ireland, i will be happy to show you the rest of Europe as a Tour Leader. Specially Spain, France and Swizerland where I spent the last three years. https://photos.app.goo.gl/rr5hwAwJ9dsJuN6s6 https://www.facebook.com/share/1MxCE599aX/

Christopher Byrne
**Best for solo travellers, older visitors, couples, and small groups who want a relaxed local experience at a comfortable pace** Based in Ventry and Dingle, I offer relaxed local walk, hike, sea swim, and bike outings for visitors who want to experience the Dingle Peninsula at a comfortable pace. These are not extreme adventure tours. They are about getting outdoors, enjoying the scenery, hearing local stories, and getting the inside track on one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland. As a lifelong weather enthusiast, daily sea swimmer, and local guide, I shape each outing around the people taking part, the weather, the tide, and the conditions on the day. Tours can be gentle, scenic, and easygoing, or a little more active if that suits you. The areas covered include Ventry, Dingle, nearby coastal routes, quiet backroads, beaches, safe swim spots, local viewpoints, and places visitors can easily miss. Most outings are 2 to 4 hours, making them ideal for solo travellers, older visitors, couples, and small groups who want a relaxed local experience without committing to a full day. A tour might be a gentle coastal walk, help finding a safe place to swim, a swim followed by a sauna, a relaxed local bike route, or time for coffee and a chat. No special experience is needed. Just bring comfortable clothes, curiosity, and a willingness to see Ventry and Dingle like a local. 2-hour outing: from €120 solo / €150 for 2 people 3-hour outing: from €180 solo / €225 for 2 people 4-hour half-day: from €240 solo / €300 for 2 people Extras such as sauna, bike hire, food, or transport are charged separately. *ventryweather.com/book For solo/couple travellers, I can usually arrange a convenient meeting point in Ventry or Dingle, and where practical I may be able to meet you at your accommodation. Any pick-up or transfer must be agreed in advance and is offered only as part of the guided outing, not as a standalone transport service.

Owen Mullan
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.

Dairine Nuttall
I am a qualified tour guide and have been guiding and driver guiding for the past twelve years. I am a member of ATGI (Approved Tourist Guides of Ireland) and I hold a Small Public Service Vehicle licence which means that I am licensed to carry people for hire or reward and am fully insured for this. In Ireland you cannot transport people for hire or reward without this licence so always look for the green disc on the front and rear windscreens. I drive an E class Mercedes limo which can take up to four passengers - two seats in the front and three in the back. My tours cover Dublin and the adjoining county of Wicklow, and can be walking tours or driving tours or a combination of both. Hiking, gardens, farming and stately homes are a speciality as are tours for those seeking to visit their ancestral homeland. I grew up on a farm in the Wicklow Uplands, and worked in the property business, and then in the political world, before becoming a tour guide. I am knowledgeable, energetic, intuitive, and easy going and I really enjoy meeting people. A tour with me can cover many topics, and I am a great believer in being flexible (within reason!) and in quality rather than quantity when it comes to an itinerary. Contact me to make a bespoke itinerary that suits YOU!

Mark McHale
Mark is a born-and-bred Irish local who fell in love with Howth and its wild coastal beauty — from dramatic cliff paths to hidden corners most visitors never find. What started as a passion for exploring and storytelling turned into Hidden Howth Experiences — a collection of award-winning tours blending breathtaking scenery, rich local history, great food and drink, and plenty of laughs along the way. Joined by his iconic sidekick Missy the dog, Mark creates experiences that feel less like a formal tour and more like a day out with friends. Guests get the real Howth: local stories, secret viewpoints, colourful characters, and that warm Irish welcome that keeps people coming back again and again. If you’re looking for a fun, relaxed adventure with a local who genuinely loves what he does — you’ve just found it.

Jason Ó Fionnáin

I create private, personalised experiences that bring Ireland’s landscape, mythology, archaeology and living culture to life.

Experiences can include heritage storytelling, photography guidance, forest walks, creative activities and conversational English practice for international visitors. I specialise in small groups, families, students and travellers seeking an authentic connection with Ireland beyond the usual tourist routes.
