“I have a passion for sharing my history and and culture with others and I can trace my Galwegian roots back to 1776, to the Aran Islands. Throughout my life, I have travelled extensively around the world and realised the value of a good guide in bringing a place alive. I resolved back then to become a professional guide one day and show visitors the places I feel are unique and special. I was born in a Gaelic speaking area and would love to share a few words with you and share my passion for history and folklore. I look forward to showing you around the West of Ireland and the town I call home, Galway. With my knowledge and expertise I can create a special bespoke tour for you that will help you get the most from your valuable time off”

Good communication from driver and right on time. The tour was excellent! Derek was very knowledgeable and educated in local and Irish history, geography, and culture. Very safe driver and accommodating to all our wishes and needs. He went above and beyond expectations.

Derek was a wonderful guide for our day spent exploring Connemara! We learned so much about Ireland and Irish history! Kylemore was beautiful as well were the mountains and lakes. We loved the sheep dog demo and lunch with local mussels!
