“If you’re ever unsure where we are, just follow the rain. It knows the way better than I do."
- OLD IRISH PROVERB -
"In Ireland, we believe in hospitality, so if you don’t laugh at my jokes, I’ll just assume it’s because you didn’t hear them properly, and you are not used to the Irish accent”
- DAVE -

Dave - The Face Of The Company
Cheeky and full of Irish wit: Dave’s playful sarcasm, a staple of Irish humour, always comes with a warm, welcoming tone, making you feel like an old friend.
Culturally insightful but with a twist: He shares Irish history and culture with an amusing spin, giving you stories you won’t find in guidebooks.
Self-deprecating charm: With classic Irish humour, Dave doesn’t take himself too seriously—he keeps the mood light and the journey unforgettable.
Dave grew up close to Dublin City, where storytelling was the heart and soul of every gathering. His sharp wit was honed by years of listening to family and friends spinning yarns by the pub fire. Though his love for a good joke is obvious, Dave secretly enjoys history—but he just refuses to let that on during his tours!
MISSION - A Journey Born from Change
After 15 years of corporate jobs, Dave found himself longing for something more—a connection to the world beyond the screen and to the land that shaped his heart. Craving a new path, he left his office job behind and took on a completely different role, working as a guide for one of Ireland’s largest touring companies. It was there, guiding countless travellers through Ireland’s stunning landscapes, that Dave noticed something troubling—the rigid schedules of tours were preventing people from truly enjoying their experience. Stops were too short, and moments that should’ve been savoured were rushed.
As a naturally friendly and empathetic person, this bothered Dave deeply. He couldn’t help but feel for the travellers who longed for the freedom to explore at their own pace. So, with that in mind, he made a bold decision: to start his own company, VIP Tours Ireland, where the travellers, not the schedule, would own the journey.
MISSION - A Bold Step Toward Changing the Tourism and Travel Industry
Dave made the bold decision to start VIP Tours Ireland, even though it meant competing with massive companies on a national level. But that didn’t scare him. For Dave, success isn’t about beating the competition; it’s about making a difference, even if it’s just for a small group of travellers. If he could leave even one group of people happy and content with a memorable tour, he’d see it as a win. His ultimate goal is to create a future where all tours in Ireland offer that kind of personal, fulfilling experience—infused with humour, passion, and a deep connection to Ireland's rich history.
His vision is to not only guide tours but to craft experiences where every road, castle, and hidden gem becomes part of a memorable, personal adventure. Here, Dave weaves a new kind of tale—one where the traveller holds the pen.
