How Muiris came to set up Iveragh Historical Tours …

Muiris grew up on a farm and is now running the family farm. One of the fields on his farm is called ‘The high field’. The ‘High Field’ has 2 large and ancient standing stones overlooking Valentia Island and they have stood there untouched through generations.

Growing up he recalls people randomly calling to his home looking for permission to visit the Standing Stones on his familys farm. 

From this he arrived at the idea of providing this Driver Guided Tour service that would show visitors to South Kerry the wealth of historical sites that are concentrated along the Skellig Coast.
