Barry Moloney (Rick Steves Tour Guide)
Where I am not understood, it shall be concluded that something very useful and profound is couched underneath.
Jonathan Swift
Barry Moloney grew up on a local farm outside of Kinsale, and after a career in information technology found his true calling in tour guiding. He has guided Don & Barry’s Kinsale Historic Stroll for several years, and his passion for Ireland its beauty, culture and history is unsurpassed.
A storyteller, historian, publisher and surfer, Barry regaled us with stories, philosophy and thoughts both insightful and enlightening throughout the tour. He quickly earned the friendship of everyone on the tour, and his easy going style belied the meticulous planning that ensured the tour proceeded without a hitch.
When confronted by a problem, Barry calmly employed his knowledge and resources to solve medical, shopping and tour issues whilst remaining engaged with the remainder of the group. Barry is one of the best guides I have ever encountered and a credit to Ireland.
Our Driver – Pascal
A picture of concentration, Pascal kept the wheels of the bus turning and on the ground from start to finish. How he navigated through some of those narrow roads, along cliff edges and through higgledy, piggledy villages is beyond my comprehension but navigate them he did with consummate ease.
