A crucial component of any tour is the guides – their expertise, knowledge, warmth and competence.

Marie Cullen and Pól Ó Colmáin have been looking after visitors to Ireland and sharing their passion for the culture, music, history and more of their country. You could not be in better company.

 Marie Cullen wild as the wind, delicate as a spring flower, is a highly regarded visual artist and teacher with a passion for her country’s culture and landscape from which she derives much of her artwork. Since 2000, she has run Working Artist Studios, a not-for profit art group, gallery and venue.

Pól Ó Colmáin is a visual artist, a poet, writer and musician. A walking encyclopaedia (or Walkapedia!), he is a scholar of all things Irish – language, culture, history and everything that relates to his native land.
