In honor of World Tourism Day, three local tour guides are sharing what they can offer visitors. Fergal Kearney, owner of InSite Tours Ireland, offers the In The Footsteps Of Seamus Heaney tour. This tour takes guests on an emotional journey through the places and landscapes that inspired the Nobel Prize-winning poet. Fergal, who personally knew Heaney, guides guests through various locations mentioned in Heaney’s poems, reading the corresponding poem aloud. The tour includes visits to the Seamus Heaney HomePlace arts and literary center, but Fergal believes the true experience lies in the fields outside Bellaghy.
Eimear Flanagan, founder of Away A Wee Walk, specializes in guided walking day tours along the Giant’s Causeway cliffs. She also offers independent walking holidays and bespoke guided hiking vacations. Eimear realized the potential of Northern Ireland’s tourism market after seeing numerous coaches full of tourists while stuck in traffic. She is passionate about providing visitors with magical and authentic experiences hiking in the Irish landscape. Most of her clients come from North America, and she believes that there is a misconception that the main tourism market in Northern Ireland is domestic and limited to certain months.
