Derek Spillane es un guía turístico privado local en Irlanda

I was honoured to be former Chairman of the Galway Tour Guides Association and I'm currently a member of ATGI, The Association of Tour Guides of Ireland.

I can trace my Galwegian roots back to 1776 to the Aran Islands, and I can assist you trace your Irish roots if required. Throughout my life, I have travelled extensively around the world and realised the value of a good guide in bringing a place alive. I resolved back then to become a professional guide one day and show visitors the places I feel are unique and special. I was born in a Gaelic speaking area and would love to share a few words with you and share my passion for history and folklore.
