ABOUT US

Tour Director

Des McGrath - Chauffeur Driver, Historian, Nature Lover.


Hello,


My name is Des McGrath.


I am originally from Wexford, but I have spent most of my life living in County Kilkenny in the sunny Southeast of Ireland.


I spent many years as Estate Host at the magnifcent 5-star Mount Juliet Estate here in Thomastown, County Kilkenny. I have a strong passion for history, nature, hospitality and delivering outstanding customer service and I am delighted to be able to share my newest adventure with you - Southeast Ireland Chauffeur Tours.


Let me take you on a memoriable adventure in an area of my beautiful country that I know so well - Irelands Ancient East.


We have tour packages and activites available to suit all ages and we can tailor make a tour for you as you desire. From the moment I welcome you on board our luxury Mercedes tour vehicle I will ensure you receive nothing less than 5-star treatment.


I will make your tour experience with us one you will always remember.


I am a local historian and I have given local history speeches to many visiting guests at Mount Juliet Estate over the years. I will now take my expertise on the history of Ireland out on the road and share it with you.


I look forward to welcoming you on board with us soon!

Owner & Founder

Anthony Challoner - Chauffer Driver, Guide, Mountain Explorer


Hello,


My name is Anthony Challoner.


I am also from Kilkenny.


I founded Southeast Ireland Chauffer tours together with my good friend and colleauge Des McGrath in 2021.


I worked for many years in sales travelling the roads of Ireland and I was always struck by Ireland's natural beauty and in paticular, it's mountain regions.


Both Des and I agree that a great opportunity exists to showcase the beauty spots of the Southeast of Ireland and the country as a whole, in a private professional capacity using luxury vehicles and offering our Guest's an unforgettable experience during their stay in Ireland.   

If you want to avoid the stress of renting a vehicle and driving on challenging narrow roads and you would like see Ireland in a unique and casual way in a comfortable professionally driven vehicle with a friendly, knowleagable driver guide - you have found the right tour company.


If it's just a day's touring to Kilkenny and Wexford or a week in the west of Ireland on the Wild Atlantic Way, get in touch and we will work with you to ensure you experience in Ireland is one you will always remember and treasure! 



Anthony
