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!

Annette O’Malley
Achill is home - and my family has called the island home for over 700 years. As the local Aíre for the O’Malley Clan Association and an indirect descendant of Grace O’Malley, the Pirate Queen, I have so much love for the island’s history, stories and people. I’ll take you beyond the usual tourist trail to discover Achill’s spectacular beaches, viewpoints, hidden corners and fascinating local history…the best coffee and places you might otherwise drive straight past. Think of it as a whistle-stop tour with a friend who knows the island from the inside. Come and see Achill through local eyes. 💚

Jason Ó Fionnáin
I’m Jason Ó Fionnáin, an Irish filmmaker, professional photographer, storyteller, creative educator and qualified TEFL teacher based near Mullingar in Ireland’s Ancient East. I create private, personalised experiences that bring Ireland’s landscape, mythology, archaeology and living culture to life. My tours are relaxed, immersive and designed around each guest’s interests. Rather than simply visiting landmarks, we explore the stories, ancient beliefs, local traditions and hidden details connected to each place. 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. From 5,000-year-old passage tombs and medieval monasteries to sacred hills, lakes, castles and quiet countryside, every experience is shaped with care, local knowledge and a genuine Irish welcome.

Kristoffer Muciek
Hi, my name is Kristoffer I am a Kerry-based driver‑guide, photographer, and storyteller whose work is rooted in a deep love for people, place, and heritage. Originally from Poland and proudly at home in County Kerry, I have spent nearly two decades exploring, documenting, and sharing the landscapes, legends, and lived history of Ireland’s southwest. As the owner of Kris M Tours, I create private, story‑rich experiences that go far beyond sightseeing. My tours blend local knowledge, humour, folklore, and hidden‑gem stops with the kind of personal connection that turns a day on the road into a memory guests carry for life. Whether guiding along the Ring of Kerry, uncovering quiet corners of Dingle, or crafting bespoke itineraries, I am known for my warmth, professionalism, and instinct for what makes each guest feel at home. Alongside guiding, I am an accomplished photographer under Kris M Photography, specialising in documentary, portrait, and event work. My images reflect a sensitivity to light, emotion, and authenticity—qualities shaped by years of observing both people and landscapes with patience and curiosity. I am also a passionate researcher and archivist, preserving family history and exploring cultural stories that connect Ireland and Poland. My meticulous approach, creative eye, and genuine care for others define everything I do, whether I am behind the wheel, behind the camera, or behind the scenes planning an unforgettable experience. Above all, I believe in the power of storytelling—through journeys, through images, and through the small moments that reveal the heart of a place.
