Jessie McDonald is the founder and driver-guide behind Jessie's Tours of Ireland. A qualified tourist guide, with an honours degree in Archaeology, and with full NTA-SPSV licencing and a comfortable ŠKODA Superb, I combine professionalism and reliability with a deep love of Ireland’s landscapes, history and folklore. My background in guiding — enriched by a keen interest in geology, archaeology, native flora and fauna — means every tour is crafted with care, attention to detail and a genuine desire to reveal the real Ireland.

Mary G O' Sullivan
Based in Kerry
Cork, Kerry, Clare, Galway
Professional licensed national tour guide since 1992. I am a graduate of 'Genealogy' and 'Irish Heritage and Folklore' from UCC. I offer private bespoke day and multi-day tours specialising in the South West along the Wild Atlantic Way. I avoid the fixed 'bus tour' circuit as much as possible and focus on off-the-beaten-path places as well as the main attractions.

I am the Tour Operations & Transport Manager at Cronin’s Coaches, a core division of the Cronin Travel Group. 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.

Kilkenny
John Britton – Ormonde Language Tours Hello, I’m John Britton, founder and guide of Ormonde Language Tours in Kilkenny. I was born and raised in County Kilkenny, and I run a small independent walking tour company offering story-driven tours of the city. My goal is to give visitors a clear and engaging introduction to Kilkenny, helping you understand how the city developed from a Norman stronghold into the modern Irish city you see today. I lead every tour myself and keep groups small so the experience remains relaxed, personal, and interactive. As we walk through the streets of Kilkenny, I connect the buildings and landmarks you see with the people, events, and changes that shaped the city over more than 800 years. One of the unique aspects of my tours is that they can be delivered entirely in English, French, or German, allowing international visitors to explore Kilkenny’s history in their own language. I hold a Certificate in National Tour Guiding, a BA (Honours) in Language Studies, and a Diploma in International Hotel Management. Before becoming a tour guide, I spent over 20 years working in hospitality, including time in hotels in Ireland, the UK, Switzerland, and France. My aim is to offer visitors a welcoming and informative introduction to Kilkenny — the perfect starting point before exploring the city further on your own.

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.
