Derek was simply amazing! A detailed, organized, and passionate guide who strives to go above and beyond for his clients. Not only was he extremely professional, prompt, and provided a high quality experience, he connected us with the locals and provided opportunities to listen and share with the people who make Ireland such a fantastic place.

We recently completed a three-day private tour with Derek O’Keeffe, and to say he exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. His incredible knowledge, warmth, and genuine passion for sharing Ireland’s beauty made our journey truly special. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, personalized, and deeply enriching. Our entire family fell in love with him—so much so that he now feels like an extension of our family, just living in Ireland.

If you’re heading to Ireland and not touring with Derek, you’re seriously missing out. From the second we met him, it felt like we were exploring the country with an old friend—who just happens to know everything about Irish history, culture, and the best hidden gems.

Derek was a ray of sunshine from the start! We were a group of 6 from 3 different generations, and he made sure we went at a pace that was suitable for everyone. It's obvious the pride he takes in his work and is very knowledgeable with a wealth of history to share. We were on a cruise and tired of the cramped tour busses. Luckily had a last minute cancelation and I was able to book him. If you want to experience Cobh from someone who has passion for everything, book NOW. I originally tried to book him 3 months ago and he was fully booked, so don't wait, JUST BOOK IT!!

If there was such a thing as 6 Star service, then Derek O’Keeffe is the real deal. As Director of Private Tours Cork & Ireland, Derek provides white glove service from the moment he picks you up to the day we finally say so long.
Derek made our trip seamless. His attention to detail is beyond compare. We didn’t just get rooms in the best hotels; we got the best views. When it came to restaurants, he has only the best on his speed dial. When we visited castles, he would call ahead to ensure we were able to avoid the tour bus crowds.
And did I tell you that he literally knows half the people on the island. We took the back roads, seeing some of the best scenery not available through other tour operators.
