YOUR GUIDE
The
guide, Tony Kirby, spent five years in Italy in the 1990s. He travelled extensively during
his stay there delivering public lectures on
Ireland and Irish civilisation.
On returning to Ireland, he
founded a company called Ibernia Tours which specialised in walking tours of Dublin city. Ibernia Tours operated in Dublin for five
successful years to 2002.
In the same year he became
a Fáilte Ireland approved national tour guide, graduating with a distinction. His area of
specialist study during the Fáilte Ireland course was The Burren region. In the summer of
2003, Tony founded Heart of Burren Walks and commenced guiding on The Burren.
Tony now lives in the heart of the Burren near the village of Caherblonick, Kilnaboy.
He claims he likes nothing
better than an animated chat over a refreshment after a walk across the Rocky Burren. |
Testimonials
“A comprehensive interpretation of the great Burren landscape laced with passion and humour. A pulsating, unforgettable experience.”
Alison Mooney, Alternative Ireland Tours, Brussels.
"Tony's enthusiasm of and love for this
remarkable region permeates his explanations and commentaries. In addition to
commanding a consumate knowledge of the Burren, Tony also possesses that rare talent which
enables him to imbue the rocks with palpable life. As someone who has explored this
landscape at first hand for over two decades, I highly recommend his tours."
