Anthony Kelly

I am a native Irish tour guide from Dublin. I deliver walking tours in Dublin, Kilkenny, Galway and along the Giants Causeway. I am an experienced day tour guide on coaches to Glendalough, the Cliffs of Moher and Game of Thrones locations in Antrim. 

I am inspired by the Irish verbal tradition of storytelling and like drawing little sketches to go with my stories and novel. I have won prizes for short story writing. My tours have a mix of politics, geography, history, myths and legend and ghost stories. 

I enjoy spending time out in the open and like investing myself in landscape photography.
