Hi there! Nice to meet you

From forest walks to coastal views ... we have the most dramatic scenery in the world ... accessible all year round due to our temperate climate ... and there's nothing like a walk in nature, to bathe in the forest. I can personalise hikes for you, a walk through woodlands tailored to your pace, and tell you stories - both legend and history - about the history of the Irelands and the places we visit ...how people lived - and died - in wars and peace, famine and good times .... poetry and song.

Kate is a true local gem. We were lucky to be able to hire her to create a personalized experience for our 6-person group of family and friends. She took time to understand our priorities and hopes. The key, indeed, to creating a great experience. Her kind and thoughtful personality allowed her to blend right into our group. We all agree we would not hesitate to recommend her to others and we hope to reconnect with her next spring. Melissa, Rowan, Lily, Livia, Heidi and KathyWonderful, Custom Tour Experience

Kate is well versed in “all things Dublin”, Art, Literature, Irish history, and very easy to talk with! Kate is personable, an active listener, and I felt she became my best friend during our tour! She is the perfect guide, highly recommend! A Wonderful Afternoon

Our trip through Wicklow couldn’t have been better. Kate listened to our requests and made sure we had the best experience. The day was spectacular. Kate was knowledgeable about the history of the towns and areas we visited. Our group varied in age and she made it engaging and interesting for a teenager. I want to thank her for making our trip special and a memory we will cherish forever.The great Kate

Kate planned a wonderful three hour tour for us, showing us hidden gems and telling us in a very engaging Way the storys about litterature in Ireland. And at the same time shared her knowledge about politics and history in Ireland. We enjoyed it a lot. A walking literate

We selected Kate because her reviews sounded like we were a good fit. From the moment we met Kate we knew it was going to be a grand day. We loved looking coastal towns and seeing the cold swimmers at forty foot ! The mountains and scenery was fantastic as was our conversation all day! We highly recommend Kate. She is personable , intuitive , humorous and knowledgeable! Memorable Wicklow Mountains Day with Kate!

We had a wonderful time in Howth with Kate. We surely would not have seen as many sites and gone on such a wonderful hike without her. She was also very accommodating as we had to reschedule our tour due a missed flight.Kate was very accommodating and fantastic

Not what we expected we understood from earlier correspondence that tickets for the book of keys would be in her possession and we would enter a see the book on the day

While waiting for train to Howth , Kate asked us what we each were looking for in the tour. My husband loves history and I enjoy architecture and gardening. Kate made sure to include those items and more. I am hearing impaired and I had no trouble hearing or understanding her. Our tour was very fun and we learned a great deal. She was very attentive and caring about us as we walked along. Before leaving at the end of the tour, she let us know about some very good restaurants in the area, which we took full advantage of. Finally, Kate invited us to text or email her with any questions for the remainder of our time in Ireland. Exploring Howth with Kate was delightful.

Kate is very personable and an encyclopedia on Irish and Dublin history. She was a journalist and it shows in her broad interests and attention to details. She led us on an extensive walk through old Dublin and actually went overtime. She was as interesting on current Irish affairs as she was on the fascinating stories of Dublin.Knowledgeable, friendly and humouress
