Tour guide in Dublin Adam L.

Congratulations on finding the profile of one of Ireland's highest ranking tour guides! My name is Adam and I have been guiding in the beautiful Emerald Isle of Ireland for over a decade. With a vast array of experience having guided over 80, 000 people around Ireland you'll be in extremely safe hands if you book a tour with me. Born in Dublin I spent my formative years in the county of lovely Laois. Growing up in rural Ireland I instantly took an interest in the world around and showed a keen interest in what shaped the country I lived in. This interest has given me a passion for travelling all across Europe and further afield to places like Turkey, Vietnam and the United States of America. Upon completing my high school education I had an abundance of options in front of me, my career guidance councillor suggested that in the midst of an economic recession I would be a fool not to pursue information technology as my next step. But a fool I was, I chose instead to follow my heart, my passion and instead went for the more precarious option of the arts and humanities in the form of historical studies and I have never looked back. Having spent four years in university it was therefore time to get a full time job, many of my friends went into administrative jobs and jobs in the public service, meanwhile yours truly stubbornly was determined to use the skill set, knowledge base and passion for Ireland that I spent my lifetime cultivating. This inadvertently led me to tour guiding and I discovered the job I was born to do. Since I took this career path I've guided in some of Ireland's premier sites. Most tour guides will describe guiding as their profession, for me it is my passion. Spend five minutes with me and this passion should become quickly evident. To paraphrase an old saying - I don't feel like I've worked a day in my life! In 2019 I began a new chapter in my career with ToursByLocals and have loved every minute of it! I am eagerly looking forward to meeting you as well. I am adaptable, flexible and your one stop shop for all your tour guiding needs during your visit in Dublin.
