We specialize in customised immersive experiences along the Wild Atlantic Way with hospitality at the heart of our ethos. We provide guided tours, focusing on areas like Galway, Connemara, and the Burren, and even more extensive multi-day adventures that explore regions like the Ring of Kerry, Dingle Peninsula, and Cork. Derek Spillane initially started offering Galway City in 2012 after graduating with a BA (Hons.) Degree in Heritage Studies. Derek then achieved a Regional and National Tour Guide Qualification and began offering private day tours from Galway City. He has received high praise for his extensive knowledge of Irish history, culture, and geography. The company caters to small groups, ensuring a tailored experience that can include visits to iconic sites like Kylemore Abbey, Inis mor, Newgrange and even personalized food and drink tours. Whether you are looking for a one-day exploration of Galway and its environs or a multi-day journey across Ireland, Wild About Ireland Tours provides an authentic and immersive experience designed to engage and inspire.

How it works​: Wild About Ireland Tours has a passion for highlighting all that is special and unique about Ireland, it is people and culture. The multi day tours advertised are based on feedback from pervious clients and their favourite places and experiences. All multi day tour can be customized to the client’s preferences. We do not offer accommodation; however, we can provide a list of hotels that we have chosen for their location, hospitality, and ambience. When booking a tour, often it can be of benefit to book the tours first before booking the accommodation. It is always worth considering adding experiences along the route and we can help in that aspect of planning your vacation.
