Having worked as cabin crew for many years with Irish Airlines, I was privileged to have the opportunity to travel worldwide. I have a vast experience and knowledge of what makes travel or exploring a city a truly interesting, fun experience. Combine that with my love of history, story-telling and meeting new people and you have the recipe for the tour guide you are looking for.

Testimonials

“Kate led a wonderful nature walk with my students and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience she provided. She thoughtfully adapted her language to suit the students’ level of understanding, ensuring everyone could engage meaningfully with the content. Her patience and calm demeanour made the walk enjoyable and accessible for all, and it was clear she was attentive to the students’ needs throughout. The group particularly enjoyed the variety of experiences along the walk, with each student finding something unique to connect with.”
Shane O’Malley – Dublin Cultural Experience

“I organised a tour with Kate Mc Carthy as our tour guide on the 8th July for a group of women. The tour was excellent because the women found it to be very informative, engaging and interesting. Kate is a great story-teller and a fountain of knowledge on the subject matter. The women thoroughly enjoyed the tour and they learned loads. Kate kept the interest of all the participants throughout the tour. I would highly recommend a tour with Kate and it was most certainly value for money.”
