Adrian Murphy

An Irish native with 16 years of experience in the hospitality and tourism industry in Ireland before relocating to the sunny south of France!

When it comes to travel planning, I’m all about creating trips that feel personal and memorable, not just ticking off the usual sights. I like mixing local culture, a bit of history, and the odd detour that turns into the highlight of the whole trip. My approach is pretty simple: figure out what makes a place special, and match that with what makes you light up. Plus castles. I love a good castle!

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I focus on travel all across Ireland, with a real soft spot for the country’s historic sites and cultural gems. Castles, monastic ruins, famine roads, ancient wells...you name it! I’m all about the kind of travel that gives you stories to take home, the kind no one else in your friend group will have. If you want to see a side of Ireland that most visitors miss, I’m your man. I love mixing in well-known highlights with the quieter places that still feel untouched, and I’ve built up a good knowledge of where to go if you're after a bit of atmosphere, local legend, or just a great pint in a pub that’s been around for a few hundred years."

How did you get involved in travel?

"My background is in hotels. I worked as a hotel concierge in Ireland for years, and that gave me a front-row seat to what travellers really want. I spent my days helping people plan their time, book hidden gem experiences, and find places they never would’ve discovered on their own. It was hands-on, personal, and fast-paced. I loved the challenge of tailoring suggestions to each person. That experience naturally evolved into a role in travel planning, where I get to bring the same level of care and detail to someone’s whole trip, not just their day. And now I’ve got the best of both worlds: local insight and the space to build full journeys around it."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One trip I’ll never forget was visiting Salem, Massachusetts in the US. I’ve always been a bit of a history nerd, and the witch trials fascinated me. While I was there, I took a walking tour of the town that really stuck with me. It was theatrical, thought-provoking, and brought the whole place to life. I left feeling so inspired that when I got back to Ireland, I actually trained and qualified as a walking tour guide with Fáilte Ireland, focusing on Dublin city. That experience in Salem showed me how powerful storytelling can be in travel, and it definitely shaped the kind of guide (and planner!) I’ve become. I’m a big believer in trips that leave you thinking, not just ticking boxes."

Westwinds B&B Guesthouse

This was a lovely bed-and-breakfast and the owner Shauna was very helpful with answering questions and even gave us great advice about where to eat and visit while we spent a few days in Galway. The breakfasts were excellent and there were many options to accommodate for gluten-free or dairy-free needs. Furthermore, the rooms were very clean the queen Neighbourhood of salt Hill in Galway is certainly a sight to see and would recommend this to anyone who wants to visit Galway!

This experience with walking with Irish wolf hounds at the cliffs of Dune was very unique and something I will never forget! The owners Alan and Lisa were very friendly and knowledgeable of the history of the cliffs and it was interesting and educational to listen to. The dogs they brought were very friendly, majestic, and well-behaved and were certainly popular with everyone at the park lol (lots of pictures from other people, you feel like a celebrity!). I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves dogs and wants to learn more about the captivating history of the Irish Wolfhound and their importance in Ireland’s history!

One of the restaurants recommended in our guide for Belfast - Mourne Seafood Bar was AMAZING! The seafood was so fresh, the staff was kind and accommodating, and the atmosphere was great. Adrian was very helpful and open to feedback, and made sure to incorporate our must see's!

Belfast to Bushmills – A Scenic Route

Absolute favorite day of our trip. The weather was in our favor and we had sun for both the Carrick a Rede rope bridge and Giant's Causeway. We stopped for lunch in Bushmills (when it was raining) at the cutest cafe, and a brief trip to the distillery. After Giant's Causeway, we continued to drive along the coast, which was breathtaking. The Northern Ireland coast may be one of the most beautiful places in the world.

I’m absolutely delighted to hear you had such a fantastic trip, it sounds like you made the most of every stop, especially along the Antrim Coast (hard to beat that on a clear day!). I’m especially glad everything ran smoothly for you with the planning and bookings, that’s EXACTLY what we're here for!

And great shout on Mourne Seafood Bar…one of my personal favourites too! 😊

Of the walking tours booked, I much preferred the guide and style of the one in Dublin. It felt more personalized as he reached out to each individual/traveler group to understand their interests and provide appropriate recommendations. The Cliffs of Moher tour was stunning, but only because we got very lucky with the weather. Unfortunately, we only got just under an hour at the Cliffs, which was not enough time.

Lodging was always in a safe and easily accessible location.

I hope to visit Ireland again and work with Adrian again!

And on the Cliffs of Moher, you’re absolutely right, the views can be incredible (and I’m glad you got lucky with the weather!), the time there can sometimes feel a bit tight on group tours, so that’s something I’ll be more mindful of going forward.

Our walking tour through Dublin was a highlight of the trip thanks to our fantastic guide Sandra. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and warm personality brought the city’s history, culture, and stories vividly to life, and the time flew by as we explored.
She was incredibly knowledgeable about Dublin and Ireland, sharing historical facts, local legends, and personal anecdotes in a way that was easy to follow and always engaging.
The route covered many of Dublin’s key sights as well as a few hidden corners that we would never have found on our own. The guide also gave excellent tips on where to eat, drink, and explore later, which really helped us make the most of our time in the city. This walking tour was an excellent way to get oriented in Dublin, learn about its past and present, and experience the city through the eyes of a local. I highly recommend Sandra and her tour to anyone visiting Dublin who wants an informative, fun, and memorable experience.

We had such a great time with Sorcha on this food tour and are so glad we booked it for our Thanksgiving celebration. The tastings were delicious and the places we visited were the perfect way to experience the local scene.
Our guide Sorcha was friendly, fun, and clearly passionate about her job.
Each stop was well chosen, offering generous portions and a great mix of flavors. The walk between tastings was just right and helped us see different parts of the neighborhood along the way. I highly recommend this food tour and guide to anyone who loves good food and wants a fun way to get to know the city.

Adrian was a delight to work with, and he nailed our goals for this friends trip. Neither of us had been to Ireland before and were overwhelmed with the many options to choose from. Do we take trains or rent a car? Hotels or B&Bs? Cliffs of Moher or one of the other many cliffs? This castle or the ruins of that monastery? Etcetera. He navigated our needs for authentic experiences without the overly touristy spots filled with buses and selfie sticks. While we love the history of a country/city/place, we didn't need constant tour guides or tour groups, and he nailed that goal to create a unique experience without feeling overly lonely or overly crowded throughout the trip. We spent 9 days, traveling the entire country, including a day and a half in Belfast and to the Giant's Causeway. The experiences he set up for us were an absolute delight, and his recommendations and timeline throughout the journey were great. Of course, we wish we had 3-5 more days to explore a little further, but we have no regrets in terms of what we were able to fit in. One of our excursions was a boat trip to Skellig Michael, which was canceled due to weather. We reached out as soon as we learned about it, and requested some other options. What are the good, better or best options that we could replace it with. He gave us some great suggestions that we never would have come up with on our own looking online, and we had a great time doing the alternative (e-bikes through the Gap of Dunloe - stunning views!!).
