About Your Private Driver Guide & Vehicle

"Let me guide you along Ireland's less traveled trails."

Hi. My name is Martin. I am an experienced tour guide living and working in the beautiful northwest of Ireland. I have spent many years working as a nationwide tour guide showing people around the island. I have a love of history, the great outdoors and traditional Irish music and dance.

A professional tour guide since 2015 and an avid global traveler since I was a teen, I have a lifetime in tour planning experience. While working as a tour guide for Ireland’s favorited private tour operator for over 6 years, I have learned what it takes to offer a truly luxurious private chauffeur tour which is tailor-made for individual guests, taking them off the beaten path for a unique and authentically Irish experience.

Testimonials

"Thanks to Martin, our guide for the trip of a lifetime." ★★★★★

"Best Tour Ever! Thanks to Martin, our guide for the trip of a lifetime. Martin went above and beyond to make this a trip the four of us would never forget. We asked him to put together a tour plan that got us outdoors, away from the crowds, and close to nature. He is a wealth of knowledge and was there along side us hiking the countryside to see each site. This is definitely the way to see Ireland."
