A wonderful tour that has everything! Spectacular scenery, super stories and amazing anecdotes. I explain the history of Ireland from 500m years ago (when Ireland was located under the sea below the equator) to Brexit! I will keep you entertained en route with legends, stories and gags that will keep you laughing. I will explain why we drive on the 'correct' side of the road, the origin of the military salute and lots more.
I have a treasure chest of jewels about Ireland that will amaze you! Find out more about our writers, musicians and the history of Guinness and Irish Coffee. I will take you to some of the Quiet Man film locations. If you have any areas of particular interest in Ireland I can cover that for you as well. I promise you a fantastic day with me.
