Guided by Story
A Journey Through Ireland,
Immersed in Story and Scenery
Every great journey begins with a story — and ours starts on the winding roads of Ireland.
Valhalla Tours was born in 2022, inspired by years spent guiding travellers through the island’s wild coastlines, misty valleys, and ancient ruins. Founder Nick had spent more than a decade helping visitors discover Ireland’s hidden beauty. Along the way, he realised something simple yet powerful — the best tours aren’t about ticking sights off a list. They’re about connection.
That idea became the heart of Valhalla Tours: travel that feels personal, purposeful, and rooted in Ireland’s living culture. Nick wanted to build a company that honoured the country’s stories, its people, and its heritage — one pint, one song, one windswept cliff at a time.
From day one, we’ve focused on authentic experiences. Our tours blend history with humour, myth with memory, and comfort with curiosity. Guests don’t just see Ireland — they share in it. Whether you’re tracing Viking trails through Dublin, wandering castle ruins in Kerry, or chatting with locals by a peat fire, every moment reveals a new layer of Ireland’s charm.
Our approach is personal. We keep our groups small and our pace unhurried, giving you time to breathe in the landscape and listen to the stories beneath the surface. In addition, we partner with local communities, craftspeople, and family-run stays to ensure that every journey supports those who make Ireland what it is.
At Valhalla Tours, we don’t just create itineraries — we craft memories. What began as one guide’s dream has become a shared adventure for travellers from around the world. And every story we tell begins the same way: with a warm welcome and a promise of something unforgettable.
Our Story
Our Philosophy
At Valhalla Tours, we believe every journey through Ireland should feel personal, meaningful, and full of heart. Travel isn’t just about seeing places — it’s about connecting with them. That belief shapes everything we do.
Our tours are designed around three simple ideas: authenticity, connection, and curiosity. We travel in small groups, move at an easy pace, and make space for the unexpected — the song in a quiet pub, the sudden rainbow after a rain shower, or the chat with a local that turns into a lifelong memory.
Every itinerary we create reflects our deep respect for Ireland’s history and culture. Moreover, we believe that good storytelling brings a place to life. You’ll hear tales of Vikings, saints, poets, and rebels — not from a script, but from guides who live and breathe these stories.
In addition, we’re committed to supporting the communities we visit. We partner with local businesses, stay in family-run guesthouses, and work with artisans and musicians who keep Irish traditions alive. As a result, your journey doesn’t just explore Ireland — it helps sustain it.
At Valhalla Tours, our philosophy is simple: travel slower, laugh louder, and look deeper. We invite you to see Ireland not as a tourist, but as a friend. Whether you’re tracing ancestral roots, chasing coastal sunsets, or raising a pint to new memories, we promise every moment will feel genuine, heartfelt, and unmistakably Irish.
After all, Valhalla isn’t just a place — it’s a feeling. And we’re here to help you find yours.
Our Team
Meet Our Founder
Valhalla Tours was founded by Nick, a seasoned guide with almost a decade of experience bringing Ireland’s landscapes and legends to life. After years leading tours for other companies, he discovered what makes a journey truly unforgettable — personal connection, flexibility, and stories told from the heart.
With that idea in mind, Nick decided to create something different. He wanted a tour company built on heart, heritage, and humour — three things that define every Valhalla experience. His love of Irish history, especially the Viking influence woven through it, shapes each adventure we offer.
Nick doesn’t just share facts; he brings history to life. Whether he’s tracing Norse footsteps through Dublin or revealing hidden folklore among ancient ruins, he tells stories with energy, empathy, and plenty of Irish wit. As a result, guests often say travelling with Nick feels like exploring Ireland with an old friend — one who knows every legend, back road, and scenic pub in the country.
Because of that passion, every moment feels authentic. You might find yourself laughing over a pint, pausing for a photo on a windswept cliff, or hearing a story that makes you see Ireland in a new way. Each experience is personal and filled with genuine warmth.
For Nick and the Valhalla Tours team, this isn’t just a job — it’s a calling. Every tour is a celebration of Ireland’s soul, shared through its people, places, and endless stories. Step by step, song by song, pint by pint — we’re here to help you find your Valhalla.
