Brendan K.

Ireland

Hi there. I'm Brendan. I am a native Dubliner. I was born here many years ago and spent all my life living and working all over the city. I love food, music, sport, history, politics and of course, the odd pint of Guinness. I retired in 2019 after a 40 year career in the technology industry, working for some of the biggest global names in the business. Because of my passion for all things historical my dream had always been to become a tour guide and I qualified as a official guide in August 2020. I have been taking my guests on journeys around the city since then. I love the idea that when someone tours with me they learn in a fun way about the very long history of Ireland and its people. They also see lots of places and things which I hope I bring to life for them as we stop for a while and discover the many stories to be told about this ancient city. With me you will learn about how Dublin has changed from the time of the Vikings to the time of Google. There are lots of funny stories to be told about that long period of time – I can assure you of that. So – if you are visiting Dublin please consider me as your guide. I am sure that if you choose me we will have some fun and interesting hours together as we walk the streets once used by the Vikings and the Normans and now the home of modern day Irish folk.

I have been working as a cycling and walking tour guide in the Burren in County Clare for more than 20 years. My tours are immersive experiences, where we explore everything the location has to offer: history, archaeology, geology, folklore, flora and fauna. I am fully certified in First Aid, and have public liability insurance to cover cycling and walking tours. I am also a golfer, and a member of Lahinch Golf Club, so can advise on the best courses to play while you are in Ireland.

Ireland

I have been guiding since 2010 and have my own limousine. I offer walking tours, driving tours, specialist tours and front of coach tours. There are two tours offered on this site: you can have a full day out in County Wicklow, visiting Powerscourt Gardens, driving through County Wicklow National Park, and exploring Glendalough - the valley of two lakes. We can incorporate a hike into the day, should you wish. I also offer walking tours of Dublin city. I worked in the property business here for many years, and then later in the political world, so I am very familiar with the city and it's history. Many of the main attractions are close to one another, so a walking tour is a great way to explore. My tour aims to give you an overview of our history, and we can dip into the galleries and museum to see some of the highlights. We can pack a lot into four hours!!

Very flexible, informative and enjoyable

We enjoyed very much our tour with Yoji. He was very flexible, educated with interesting facts and trivia, and personable about life in Japan. His English was excellent and thus communication was clear.

A great day in Nagasaki with Hero

We were fortunate to have Hero as our guide for one day in Nagasaki. Inspite of the unstable weather he made the itinerary work seamlessly for our group of eight cruisers from Australia. We enjoyed all of the places visited including Mt. Inasa lookout, Peace Memorial Park, Dejima Museum and Wharf (where we had lunch), Spectacle Bridge, Hamamo-machi Shopping Arcade, then lastly the Glover Garden and Holland Slope. He was always receptive to all our requests. We loved his friendly manner and local knowledge which are both great assets as a tour guide. I would not hesitate to recommend Hero to anyone touring Nagasaki even for only a day.

She was knowledgeable on all subjects, her English was excellent and she was extremely helpful & friendly I would recommend Rika to anyone who wants to visit Hiroshima. Thank you for an wonderful day

Rika F.

I was deeply touched by your lovely message. I also had a wonderful time with you both, thanks to your bright and kind personalities. Thank you so much. I also wish that your gardener prunes your pine trees as beautifully as the ones we saw in the garden. Please do visit Japan and Hiroshima again with your family. I will do my utmost to ensure you all enjoy your time in Hiroshima. I look forward to the day we can meet again. Wishing you the best for the rest of your trip. Rika

Bar Hopping at its best!

Kazu found a great vegan ramen bar to start the evening, which was very tasty. We then discussed possible options for bars, among them such a great Sake place. Thanks for the great evening!
