About Barry's Guided Tours

I live in beautiful County Mayo, in the West of Ireland and lead nature-based walking tours in Mayo and Connemara.

Mayo is one hour north of Galway and Connemara, one hour south of Sligo and three hours west of Dublin.

My guided walking tours are centred in Mayo and Connemara, with annual walking weeks to both the South of France and Catalunya, as well as my birdwatching trip in spring to Poland’s East.

I love to learn about nature, history, legends, medieval monastic sites, folklore and anything else to do with our shared heritage and culture.

Barry’s Guided Tours offers gentle tourism to rural areas of great natural beauty and interest.

A registered trainer of the Leave No Trace outdoors ethics programme, I lead walking tours in a sustainable manner that does not damage the environment and its many inhabitants.

I am registered with Fáilte Ireland (Ireland’s National Tourism Development Board) as a provider of guided walking holidays.

I am a qualified Marine and Countryside Guide (with distinction) and am fully insured.

Come and join me on a guided walking holiday in the West of Ireland.

Je parle français. Ich spreche deutsch.

Please note that I do not lead groups on mountain hikes.
