My name is Adam, and for over a decade, I've had the privilege of guiding guests through the beautiful Emerald Isle. Having toured over 80,000 people to Ireland’s most iconic destinations, I can assure you that you're in safe hands when you book a tour with me. I hold an undergraduate degree in History and Politics and a Master's degree in Irish History. Over the years, I’ve guided tours at some of Ireland’s most prestigious sites, including Kilmainham Gaol and the National History Museum. As well as tour guiding, I also work as a lecturer in tourism - training the next generation of guides. Tour guiding is more than a job to me—it's a passion. Spend just a few minutes with me, and you’ll quickly see how much I love sharing the rich history and culture of Ireland with others. I’m eager to offer you an authentic Irish experience, tailored to your interests and needs. Céad Míle Fáilte (one hundred thousand welcomes) - Adam
