Dermott Ryan is full of history and fun. I learned more from him than anywhere else in Ireland and enjoyed every moment of it. He's a storehouse of information and just plain fun to be around. I recommend you take a walk with him when you are in Kinsale.

Last Month, my wife and I visited Killarney and enjoyed the one-hour walking tour of the town by Dermott Ryan. It was a great experience, full of good comments and interesting information. It was really well worth the cost. We learned about the battles and events that have shaped Ireland, the way of life in Kinsale, and got some hints... More

Dermot made the history of the town come to life for our family who were one or two generations removed from Kinsale. His tour brought to life the town where our fathers and grandparents were born and raised. Dermot made the tour interesting for all members of our group which ranged in age from 16 to 60+

On a bitterly cold day....the tour still gave us a chance to hear the history and experience so much in Kinsale. Dermot has a great sense of humour. Well worth while doing this tour of Kinsale.

I had a great experience with Dermot the day he took me out on the tour. He is very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend the tour to anyone visiting (or living in) Kinsale looking for more information on the history and architecture. Thank you for the good experience,

As my dad and I were visiting during an quiet tourist period, we were able to get a private tour from Dermot. Unfortunately it was not the best weather that day, so Dermot graciously made the walking tour a driving tour instead. He was very friendly and super informative. My dad keeps telling everyone about it. As this was the... More

Oh! Great town what wonders might you hold? Reveal thy history and sing thy songs Of soldiers, wives, giants and kings bold. Your envoy awaits to entice the throngs. Colours of the past painted vivid by His brush. He navigates the memories Of a nation and events gone by. All become enraptured by the stories. Directing the past he keeps... More
