Paul O’Kane

Tour leaders

---

Tour Leader Paul is always on the move, whether he’s running a marathon, hiking long-distance trails (he’s twice walked 800-km-long caminos in Spain), coaching football on the pitch, or guiding travellers through the rich landscapes of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. He brings boundless energy to every journey. 

As a certified Blue Badge Tour Guide – an elite qualification that requires two years of intensive training – he’s among the best of the best in the UK’s guiding world.  

But what sets Paul apart isn’t just his knowledge. It’s his storytelling. He brings places alive with anecdotes, interaction and his innate sense of fun. Somehow, the facts slip into your mind unnoticed – it’s the way he tells them! 

“The best stories create a picture in the mind and leave a memory with the audience,” he says. “For me, guiding is about building rapport, so you feel welcomed, relaxed and part of the adventure.”
