The Cliffs of Moher are a 9 mile long wall of limestone that drop at ninety degrees into the churning Atlantic beneath them. There's no gradual decline here, just sheer flat faces as far as the eye can see. That's what makes these cliffs the most
Where to Stay in Dublin By A Local I'm a Dubliner and I live in Dublin, so I don't stay in hotels here. But I'm in them all the time meeting guests & clients. I notice the things guests care about: noise levels, quality,
Kilkenny is Ireland's medieval city with a beautifully restored castle, eleven ancient churches and small alleys full of pubs & restaurants. And it is just 90 minutes from Dublin so it's a good first or last stop on your tour around Ireland. Here's how
Dublin By A Local I just Googled “What to do in Dublin,” and the guides online are as dismal as our winter weather. Written by influencers who once spent a day in the same crowded tourist spots as everyone else. I'm a Dublin tour guide. I walk the
I Didn't Want To Write About Car Rental In Ireland I've put off writing this post because car rental is painful. Simple as that. But I answer a lot of questions in Irish travel Facebook groups, and rental cars & insurance is the question that comes

Kerry: Ireland’s Most Beautiful County Kerry is home to Dingle, Killarney, The Ring Of Kerry, Slea Head Drive. I don't think that I've seen an Irish itinerary without them on it. Kerry is the kind of place that makes you pull over every ten minutes

I see Doolin on every Irish itinerary that gets posted in Irish travel groups. It makes sense, it's the home of the Cliffs of Moher and the port for ferries heading to the Aran Islands. I just spent two days in Doolin, I've been there a
What to see and do in Cork I'm from Dublin. We have a friendly rivalry with Cork, the rebel county who claim to be the Real Capital, but one day, I'm might be a Cork resident. I love it that much. Cork has beauty, the mountains,

Is the Jameson Distillery Tour Worth It? Verdict: No. As is often the case, the big name place is a disappointment, living off their name rather than the experience. The Jameson tour was quick, over in 30 minutes, there's no distilling on site, the tastings were tiny and
Is The Dublin Castle Tour Worth It? Verdict: For me, this is a skip. I bring people through the ground of Dublin Castle every day on my Dublin Jet Lag walking tour and I always warn my guests that it's not 'a castley castle'. It'
Teeling Distillery Tour. Is Worth It? Verdict: Yes. Teeling built their distillery with tours in mind and it shows. Unlike Jameson, they distill on site so you can see the whole distilling process and learn some Dublin whiskey history that will surprise you. Sometimes, I find distillery tours get bogged

Do I Need Travel Insurance for Ireland? Yes. I never leave home without travel insurance. Simple as that. It is as mandatory as my passport. Here’s why. It’s not about the small sprains or twists. It’s about the flight home if you can’t travel commercially. It&
