Ger Considine at Western Tours
A passion for Irish history and culture led to the setting up of the WTT Guiding service. In recent years we have aligned our business with the Wild Atlantic Way brand region. Our Guides bring individual destinations and attractions to life. Tour-leader, Gerard (Ger) Considine is the owner and operator of Western Tours and Tales. Now resident in Galway, I saw the opportunity for an exciting career change and I retrained as a Tourist Guide. I am a Regional-qualified Guide to QQI6 Level and accredited by the Irish Tourism authority, Fáilte Ireland. I am a member of the Approved Tourist Guides of Ireland (ATGI) who provide a Book A Guide service and am affiliated to the Galway Civic Trust. Ger is a committee member Galway Tour Guides Association (GTGA), where I can be contacted directly for Tour requests.

The group brings together Specialized Travel Services (STS), Select Hotels & Experiences, Cronin’s Coaches, and Cork City Tours to deliver fully integrated travel solutions across Ireland and the United Kingdom. I work closely with a wide portfolio of international partners including CIE Tours, Gate 1 Travel, Collette, Brendan Vacations, Insight Vacations, Trafalgar, Kleemann Tours, and Specialized Travel Services, along with a broad network of bespoke tour operators and travel agencies worldwide. My role centres on the planning, coordination, and delivery of transport and touring programmes at scale, ensuring consistency, compliance, and a high standard of service across every itinerary. My background is rooted in bespoke touring and hands-on delivery, and I take a practical, detail-driven approach to operations. My experience spans private driver-guided journeys, multi-vehicle coach programmes, and complex touring logistics across Ireland and the UK, allowing me to bridge the gap between planning and execution with confidence. I can support clients directly with tailored transport solutions, including driver-guide services, luxury vehicles, and full coach touring programmes. Working alongside my team within Cronin Travel Group, we also deliver complete itinerary packages, combining transport, accommodation, and curated experiences into a seamless end-to-end product. Despite my operational focus, I remain closely connected to on-the-ground delivery, working alongside drivers and guides to ensure each programme runs smoothly and reflects the standards expected by both partners and guests. My knowledge of regional touring across Ireland and the UK, combined with strong industry relationships and a structured operational approach, ensures that every journey is delivered with clarity, efficiency, and attention to detail.

Judith ( Judy ) O'Shea
I was born in Annascaul on the Dingle peninsula on a dairy farm , one of 8 children. I grew up on the Dingle Peninsula then moved between the cities of Limerick, Dublin and Cork for work after College. ( I have an honours degree in Economics and Sociology from UCC). I have worked in Community development , I.T. , Accounting over my career. I then moved home to Dingle and I now have 11 years of experience as a driver guide. I have crewed and guided on the Blasket island ferry and driven private Golf and Heritage tours nationally on multiday tours. My favorite parts of the job is showing our quirky neolithic monuments that are scattered everywhere in the country to visitors.....showing them how to see them in the landscape and understand what are they seeing as they drive along. Also bringing families to their last known address / townland before their families emigrated ( usually in the 19th C ) to North America. We often connect with living relatives due to speaking to locals and good fortune ☘️🍀 I also do day tours from Killarney and Dingle...
