The concept behind
The Hidden Ireland Tours grew out of a close friendship between
Irish guide, Con Moriarty and American travel agent, Binky Oswalt.
Since 1986, this small specialised travel company has focussed
on delivering personalised tours that allow discerning guests
experience a "hidden" Ireland.
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.
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. It has been a rich relationship
that she has engaged with passionately and over two decades,
she has provided the first connection for those in North America
who want to know our Ireland. The work is a vocation for Binky,
as she gives here incredible attention to detail to ensure a
most memorable experience for those lucky enough to know the
Hidden Ireland. |
