Owen was punctual and arrived at the meeting point on time. The car was exceptionally clean and comfortable. He provided excellent commentary throughout the journey, combined with plenty of funny jokes, making the trip both informative and enjoyable. The entire trip took a bit more than five hours.
Owen is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Malahide Castle and the medieval monastery we visited. His passion for Irish culture and history was clear throughout the entire trip.
Everything was very well planned and organised. Owen paid attention to every detail and even provided link to purchase the castle tickets in advance. We always knew what to expect, where we needed to be, and when we needed to be there.
His company, sense of humor, communication skills, and professionalism made the experience truly enjoyable.
I would highly recommend Owen to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, organized and funny guide.
Our expectations were high and Owen met it by providing the great experience.

Nice place to see!
The castle's tour guide was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. The place itself wasn't so busy at the time of visit so it was relaxing and comfortable to be walking around the whole garden/place. The Butterfly House is ok, but not amazing.

Great guide. Knows his Irish history and funny too!
Owen was a great guide. Knowledgable, welcoming and funny too. I went with my aunt who is obviously a native of Ireland. However Owen was able to tell us stuff we didn’t know. His car was lovely and comfortable too!

Owen is knowledgeable, gracious, and kind—AMAZING day!
We scheduled a tour with Owen and since it was private, he allowed us to customize it exactly the way we wanted. We were able to travel to the lake where parts of the show Vikings was filmed, which was high on my bucket list. We were also able to plan a romantic walk for just my husband and me. Owen was absolutely delightful and made us feel completely comfortable while he took care of the logistics of getting us from place to place. He found a charming little pub for my husband and I to enjoy a relaxing meal in the middle of our touring day, and the food was absolutely fantastic. We enjoyed seeing an ancient monastic site, old ruins, and lots of beautiful nature in the area. Owen is a great resource for information in Ireland, and when I return, I will absolutely contact Owen as my first resource to explore more of Ireland! Thanks so much for an incredible day. Lots of beautiful memories!
