James

I was born and raised in Ireland, studied in Ireland and have spent most of my life here. I worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 17 years before I started up my own company but spent all my spare time hiking the hills of Ireland and cycling the coast lines. Even though I’ve travelled to many places, I still would encourage people to explore what’s on their back door. All the places you visit, you will find something amazing, every place will give you a new experience, but personally my heart truly lies in Ireland.

What our travellers are saying...

Wonderful ride, beautiful city, we saw parts of the city we wouldn't normally would have. Great orientation. A great tour guide, with lots of interesting information and stories about Cork. He was also kind enough to give us great tips on bars and restaurants to try out, after our ride.

James is as efficient as he is easy-going. It took him no time to get us set up properly on our bikes and on our way. Like so many of the Irish people we met, he not only knows his history, he knows how to tell a story. We hope someday to sign up for one of his longer adventures.
