Post a task to find helpSeeing Ireland with local help
Visitors and returning family often want more than a coach tour: a walk around Dublin's history, a day in Connemara, a drive along the Wild Atlantic Way or a trip to the parish where their ancestors lived. Local guides know the quieter routes, the weather tricks and where to eat. If someone will drive you for payment, check they hold the right licence to carry passengers, such as an SPSV licence from the National Transport Authority. Summer books up early, so post your task in good time.

Guides, tours and travel help: common questions
Can a local guide also drive us?
Only if they are licensed to carry passengers for payment, such as with an SPSV licence. Otherwise you can drive and they can guide.
Can I get help tracing my Irish ancestors?
Yes. Researchers can search records and plan a visit to the relevant parish or graveyard, though results depend on the records that survive.
When should I book a guide for summer?
Summer and bank holidays are the busiest times, so post your task a few weeks ahead if you can.
Can I book help for a single day?
Yes. Many tasks are for one day or even a few hours, such as a walking tour or airport pick-up.
How much does a local guide cost?
It depends on the length of the trip, group size and travel involved. Post your task and compare the quotes you receive.
