Ireland

I have been working as a cycling and walking tour guide in the Burren in County Clare for more than 20 years. My tours are immersive experiences, where we explore everything the location has to offer: history, archaeology, geology, folklore, flora and fauna. I am fully certified in First Aid, and have public liability insurance to cover cycling and walking tours. I am also a golfer, and a member of Lahinch Golf Club, so can advise on the best courses to play while you are in Ireland.

Ireland

Hello, and welcome to my tours page. I have been a licensed tour guide since the eighties, initially working as a tour director on coaches for Ireland's largest incoming tour operator. I started my private luxury car tours after two decades as a tour director. I love sharing the passion and knowledge I have accumulated with visitors today. I travelled a lot in my youth and lived in France for 12 years, where I worked initially for American Airlines and later as a city tour guide. I am bilingual in French. I also spent two years in Italy, both in Rome and Sorrento. I no longer speak Italian, but I can understand it and absolutely love listening to it. I like to read, walk my dogs, and play bridge in my spare time. I operate all the classic tours but can customise each to your interests. I am a recent graduate in genealogy from University College Cork, so I can put you in the right direction as to where to find the necessary records if you're researching your Irish ancestry. If you already know where they come from, I can tailor a tour around that for you. Don't hesitate to contact me and let me know what you want. Thanks for reading. Mary

Ireland

I've been working as a professional tour guide since 2012. I have a degree in Hons. Heritage Studies and an accredited Failte Ireland tour guide working in the West of Ireland and along the Wild Atlantic Way. I offer tours to the Galway City, Connemara and the Wild Atlantic Way and the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren UNESCO Geo Park. I also offer self guided and guided bicycle tours of Galway City and Connemara National Park. My personal interests are in archaeology, anthropology, natural history, folklore and folklife. My tours have a mixture of these topics as they cut to the core of Gaelic Culture. I have studied the medieval period in Ireland extensively as this informs much of the built architecture in Galway City and the West of Ireland.

Very well planned for a short visit

Takako did an excellent job planning a layover tour with little time. She met us at the airport and we all rode the train to the SkyTower and then a train to the oldest temple in Tokyo. The temple area was extremely crowded but, Takako walked us through pointing out interesting shops and food. Takako even researched a gluten free place to eat in the area but, we had to get back to the airport for our next flight. Despite the direct sunlight and crowds, the tour was overall a great way to spend the layover. I would advise bringing more cash than you think…we ended up spending ours on the train rides out to the sites and had to find an atm for the return train.

Full Kimono experience

Kana was an excellent guide! In particular, I was able to have the total kimono experience. This is something I wouldn’t have been able to do without a local! Together we ate some sushi, went to some Japanese stores and she gave me some interesting insights about Japan and the culture. Thank you Kana!
