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!

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 :) /

Mary Sol Casado
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.

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.
