About

Mark's

Story

I was born and raised in a small country hotel in Ireland. During my childhood years I was surrounded by people from all walks of life and from all different countries. Following school and college, travel became my passion, some might even say my obsession! I’ve travelled to over 50 countries across all 7 continents. I even became the first Irish person to pedal a bicycle around
the world!

The gift of travel is something that I have been lucky enough to have experienced most of my life so in 2008 I decided to make a career of it and became a professional tour guide. I qualified in 2012 as a National Approved Guide of Ireland and in 2019 I founded my own company Connect the
Dots Tours of Ireland.
