Angela Gavigan
I’m a qualified, experienced and knowledgeable National Tour Guide and a member of ATGI (Approved Tourist Guides of Ireland) so I can help you plan a very memorable trip that will include some very cool surprises. I’ll collect your group, drive and guide you for the duration of your trip in a comfortable and luxurious vehicle. I will personally help you select excellent hotels that will marry wonderfully with your plans. These will vary depending on time of year, number of rooms required for your group, and standard of accommodation you would like. There is a diverse range of accommodation to choose from – Castles, Hotels, Irish Country Houses, Farmhouses and Guesthouses. I’m very happy to help you with accommodation and dining recommendations.” Whether you’re planning a solo trip, a family getaway, or a romantic escape, I’m here to help you create memories that will last forever.

An Irish native, I've spent years exploring my beautiful country. Hosting foreign students meant sharing historical and cultural experiences with and for them. This meant I needed to really know the local areas and build a profile of superb places kd interest to visit.
