A playful collection of quirky and candid photos capturing our host Peter O’Connor in unusual moments and fun tour experiences around Ireland.

Peter O'Connor

Quick snapshot by a Rabbies Tour guest I was driving when we stopped at the wonderful Glenmalure Lodge for one of their great lunches. And I just found the note that came with the photo: Hi Peter,
Monica and I had a wonderful time on your Raby’s tour.  Here’s the photo I took after the Sunday lunch.
All the best,

Sometimes I get to play the jolly, fat, judgemental character.

A nicer eview from Backroads guests Lyn & Andrew.

Having recently completed a “Back Roads” seven day tour (August 2025) with Peter as our tour leader. His vast knowledge of Irish history was enlightening, building dates, culture were most interesting and educational. Just as important was his ability to tell stories, play the flute and sing many folk songs, great fun and gave us a true Irish experience which we will never forget Best wishes for the future. Kind regards Lyn and Andrew
