Awesome landscapes, incredible
people, amazing food….the music
and the light! However, there was
one feature that stood out during
my time in the Hidden Ireland
and that was the people who
introduced me to it all.
These guides are simply the very
best I have ever experienced!”

The Hidden Ireland Tours is a travel company made up of men and women with a deep vocation for sharing their extraordinary knowledge and dedication to service with travellers to the Emerald Isle.

The concept behind the Hidden Ireland Tours grew out of a close friendship between Irish guide, Con Moriarty and American tour operator, Binky Oswalt who co-founded the company in 1989.

Since then Binky has been the first port-of-call for many discerning travellers. In response, her professionalism - and love of Ireland has yielded countless one-off itineraries for each guest.

In Ireland, Con leads a team of passionate guides who simply love what they do and with whom sharing Ireland is a truly extraordinary experience.

Who we are...

Con Moriarty grew up in one of the world's most beautiful places and the riches of the natural and cultural history of his land inspired him since childhood.

The Gap of Dunloe is a wild place, located in the heart of County Kerry in the South West of Ireland. It is a region rugged mountains and wild coastlines lake-valleys and ancient woodlands, islands and fertile plains. It is a place where the power of nature is evident everywhere and overlaying this natural history is a one of the richest stories of human history in the world.

Con’s incredible knowledge of Ireland’s natural and cultural heritage combined with his vision and world view provides guests with a rare opportunity to experience Ireland. His ability to connect with people on their journeys is incomparable. Guiding since 1979, (aged 16) Con incorporated The Hidden Ireland Tours in 1989.


Ann Curran is a native of Dingle, County Kerry. For the past fifteen years she has given personalised care and attention to guests as she shares with them the beauty and personality of her native land. Passionate about Ireland, Ann ensures that everyone who spends time with her leaves Ireland with a strong sense of it’s culture and people.

Ann has a unique ability of caring for people and ensuring they have FUN!


Binky Oswalt grew up in Mobile, Alabama. Ancestral links with Ireland and a career in travel, allowed her the opportunity to connect with the Emerald Isle.

For over two decades, Binky has provided the first connection for discerning travellers from around the world who want to know our Ireland. Binky’s passion for her work results in incredible attention that ensures a most memorable experience for those lucky enough to know the “hidden” Ireland.

After meeting Con on a walking tour in 1989, they founded The Hidden Ireland Tours.


Muiris “Mossie” Scanlon grew up between the sacred Mount Brandon and the ocean in the heart of the Dingle Gaeltacht (Irish speaking region). After a brief career in the Irish Naval Service, he spent time working and living in England and the US before settling in Australia where he worked and raised his family. A co-founder of the Irish Language Association of Australia, he is respected Gaelic scholar, author and singer, Mossie gifts a unique cultural wealth to those who share a Hidden Ireland Tour with him.


Michael Gibbons hails from Clifden, in the heart of the region known as Connemara. He is one of Ireland’s best known archaeologists and historians with a distinctive reputation for his lively presentations that have commanded the attention of television and radio audiences (RTE, BBC, CNN, Sky) and at locations throughout the world such as the Smithsonian Institute and Harvard University. He is an outstanding raconteur, who’s knowledge and passion for subjects resonates with all those lucky enough to be his guest.
