Third-generation horse trainer from the heart of Ireland's thoroughbred country. I offer exclusive tours of the Irish National Stud, local stables, and the rich equestrian heritage of Kildare.
I’m a local guide from Inistioge, born and raised on these roads along the River Nore. I specialise in relaxed village walks, woodland trails, and hidden viewpoints around Kilkenny, sharing real stories about the people, history, and everyday life behind the postcard views.
I’m a passionate and knowledgeable tour guide dedicated to bringing destinations to life through engaging stories, local insights, and authentic experiences. With a friendly approach and strong attention to detail, I strive to make every tour informative, enjoyable, and memorable - whether it’s a first visit or a return adventure.
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.

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.
A Thomastown native with a gift for storytelling and a great sense of humor! I've been entertaining visitors with tales of Kilkenny's medieval past for over 20 years. Whether it's the legends of the castles or the craic in the local pubs, I'll make sure your tour is as fun as it is informative.
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.
