About Me

ges-Bunratty-castle-and-the-cliffs-of-moher

Greetings to all, and welcome to the realm of All Things Ireland. I am John Conway, a 42-year-old native of Limerick in southern Eire (Ireland in Irish) or as it’s commonly known, Ireland.

With a wealth of experience in the transportation and tourism industries, I have been fortunate enough to have traversed the country and even Northern Ireland as a driver of various modes of transport – from large coaches to luxury Mercedes limousines, and even minivans. My expertise encompasses the management of groups of varying sizes and I am proud to hold an SPSV license, a bus and coach driving license, and a CPC card. Additionally, I am certified as a transport manager.

I hope that you find this website informative and engaging.

My Love Affair with Ireland

From a young age, I was captivated by Ireland’s allure. My parents introduced me to the country’s stunning scenery and lively cities, and I was hooked. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to explore the country multiple times and every road trip only confirms my love for this magical place.

As a proud inhabitant of the Emerald Isle, I am privileged to call Ireland my home. The country boasts an abundance of diverse offerings, from the rugged Wild Atlantic Way to the awe-inspiring Cliffs of Moher, not to mention some of the world’s finest golf courses, well-equipped visitor centres, and the famous creamy pints of Guinness.

My deep understanding of the tourism industry and my passion for Ireland, have allowed me to accompany numerous groups on their journeys throughout Eire, from the initial airport greeting to getting to know them over the course of their stay. I am proud to play a small role in introducing visitors to the splendour and hospitality of Ireland.
