Mossie's Tours, in many ways, are totally focused on providing an authentic experience for those who wish to join him in Ireland, the land of his birth. It is because of his own authenticity that he can provide exactly that, in such a natural way, without any great effort. Everything seems to pour naturally out of his heart and soul. He speaks of his country, his heritage, his culture, his language. Just like he sings about them, with passion, and why would he not? After all he is the 8th generation of his family on a direct line, to be born into the small village of Baile an Lochaig, at the foot of Mount Brandon. He often refers to his village as being so small they had to bring it in when it rained!
Ironically, what really nurtured Mossie's love for everything Irish is the fact that he, in search of a living, had to leave it at age 17. Yes he will talk of the ups and downs of emigration in both modern times and times past. He will not mince his words when he talks of the mass movement of people out of his country against their will, but always finding the positive in talking of how his people thrived against the odds. He will bring a tear to your eye and a smile to your cheek, but more of the latter.
He will take all the left and right turns into every nuke and cranny of his beloved Kerry and further afield if you wish. He will tell her stories, sing her songs, and pour into your heart the many anecdotes of what it means to be Irish. He will transport you around her breath taking coastlines, and in between, in comfort and style.
Should you wish you will experience the days of turf cutting first hand with him, the sheep shearing, the milking of a cow. You may walk in mystical hidden valleys, off the tourist trail, and amongst rivers, streams and old ruins, and he will relate to you the stories of each one of them.
Mossie is a Fáilte Ireland certified tour guide.
Groups of up to 20 people can be facilitated.
Mossie is at times joined by his partner, Helen, who, with a BA in Theology, understands the sacredness and spirituality of the Irish landscape.
