Cork, Dublin
Greetings! I moved to Ireland back in 2013. After living here for 13 years, I've come to love this country as my own (Venezuela) and really enjoy sharing my knowledge on the Irish history and culture. Nowadays, I live in Cobh and definitely came here to stay. Besides having stunning scenery worthy of countless social-media posts, Cobh is one of the most important and interesting local attractions I love to show my guests: its historic links to the Titanic and Lusitania make it a must-see in Cork and Ireland. Painting, writing, travelling and making music are some of the things I like to do during my free time. I also enjoy translating books and documents on Irish history because this is a great way to gain more knowledge. Upon moving to Ireland, I've specialised in tourism for large and small groups. In 2021, I became a certified national tourist guide. I can fluently speak three languages: English, Spanish and French, but I've had the opportunity of guiding people from all over the world, as well as other locals. It is great to see and compare the different perspectives of tourists and guests from far-away countries. What I enjoy the most is that I always end up learning something new.

I am a storyteller and private guide living in the west of Ireland all my life. After years working in the private sector I chose to create my own business to sustain and nurture Irish storytelling and offer immersive private tours of Ireland. The tours include visits to hidden gems and a personalised experience. Based on your interests and timings, I craft the most practical experience to ensure you get the most from your time with me. When I am not touring or performing storytelling, my time is spent researching and expanding my understanding of the stories from across Ireland. The stories I tell suit all ages as the topics include history, heirtage, folklore, mythology, urban myth, true crime, fantasy, literary tours, ghost tours etc. The focus is on you, and making sure you get not only excellent value for money but an unforgettable experience to share with your loved ones.

Contact me for a great half day tour of Dublin City or Howth. I can tailor the tour to your group’s specific interests. Conor
