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.

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!

My main goal is to make sure my visitors to Ireland feel well looked after and have the best possible time while travelling around this country. I love to share stories and experiences that visitors won’t get in a guidebook or app.

Ultan O Reilly
Most tours in Galway walk you around for an hour and read you dates off a wall. That’s not what this is. My name is Ultan. I’m from Mayo, I’ve lived in Galway for six years, and I left a full-time job to do this because I’m a people person and this is what I love. Simple as that. Stroll to the Stout is built around one idea, the best way to understand a place is to do what the locals do. Pour a pint. Hear some trad. Watch the GAA. Talk to someone who actually lives here. The pint you pour yourself. The Polaroid you take home. The GAA. None of it is manufactured for tourists. It’s just Galway. Fáilte Ireland accredited, ITOA approved, and the only operator on the west coast of Ireland doing this. No headsets. No scripts. No passive afternoons.

Karl White
I teach Zen Mindfullness Meditation photography classes with an Irish Wolfhound while singing Pogue songs. Checkout my Irish Wolfhounds YouTube account > Irish Wolfhound Ballybunion. Im twice qualified as a commercial photographer. Mo Chuisle ( meaning Pulse of my heart in old Gaelic) has won 5x dog shows and she does Hospital therapy visits and events such as the Hill of Uisneach. Mo Chuisle does sit and shake paw for treats. She weighs 60 kilo is 32.5" inches tall at the wethers and runs at 65kph / 40mph! Her boyfriend is the same white/creamy head of Guinness coloured, but he weighs 100kg and is 6" inches taller. I give photography classes either indoors or whilst walking the Cliffs of Doon/Dooneen or Ballybunion Strand. Get the most out of your phones camera & learn how to enjoy Zen Mindfullness walking photography. Mo Chuisle Irish Wolfhound adores making new friends. Throw apples for her and watch her zoom after them, toss them into the air, catch them as they fall and munch them. Ice cream cones last less then 3 seconds with her. Gulp. I have decades of experience as a Professional Photographer. Let me teach you how to read and understand light quality, mobile phone camera technology and take sharper better images. Ballybunion is Irelands premier seaside resort. Golden fine beaches at the mouth of the river Shannon. Checkout > Irish Wolfhound Ballybunion > on YouTube to see why Mo Chuisle Irish Wolfhound gets over a million views per year on the Internet. Nick named > Platinum blonde beach bum baby girl or Big nose for short. Mobile phone 085 838 0709. Email Karlwhitekerry@gmail.com. Address 1 Ferndale Sandhill Road Ballybunion Co Kerry V31HX74. 200 meters from the beach in the heart of town. Irish wolfhounds are a direct living connection to our ancient Celtic heritage and the oldest dog breed in Ireland and the UK. The tallest dog breed in the world. I also do an interesting history of photography class and of Irish History. Stronger, faster and more agile than a Wild Wolf, the Irish Wolfhound, the dog of Kings and the king of all dogs!
