Galway

With three decades of living and working as a Project Manager in tourism development in Ireland and various European and Asian countries, I now work as a freelance Tourist Guide/Driver curating personalized experiences for clients in Ireland. Hailing from Connemara, I'm a native Irish speaker. Living abroad significantly enriched my global perspective, fostering a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and people worldwide. I am now keen to share my enthusiasm for Irish history, culture, and heritage to visitors exploring my homeland. Recognized by the Irish Tourist Board as both a regional and national tour guide, I drive a luxurious SUV, accommodating up to 3 adults alongside myself as the dedicated tourist guide and driver.

Dublin

I’m Owen Mullan, your guide with Newgrange Day Tours. I want to welcome you to experience Ireland in a way that’s close to my heart. I’ve been a qualified national tour-guide for many years, with a deep love for Irish history, culture and landscape. I founded Newgrange Day Tours because I believe a journey is more than landmarks — it’s stories, memories, and a personal connection. I enjoy meeting new people, sharing tales of ancient Neolithic monuments, medieval castles and Celtic legends — and seeing the wonder in their eyes when they learn, laugh, and connect with the land. What makes my tours special is that they are private and tailored to you: your interests, your pace, your curiosity. Want to explore the passage tomb of Newgrange and the ancient tombs at Knowth? Or maybe prefer a more relaxed stroll through historic abbeys or medieval castles? I adapt the day so you get the experience you’ll treasure most. With a comfortable, luxury car and my stories bringing history to life, I aim to make every tour unforgettable. So come along — whether you’re visiting for the history, the mythology, or simply the beauty of Ireland — I’ll make sure your time here becomes a cherished memory.
