We also provide you with information on our tours which includes, dates, locations, actual itineraries, and how, you, too, can join us on one of our tours. My Ireland Adventure was created by Laurie Calahan, a Southern gal and American artist born and based in Shreveport, LA, and Joe Ormonde, an award-winning Irish photographer and tour guide, born and based in Kilsheelan, County Tipperary, Ireland. The great thing about My Ireland Adventure is that BOTH sides of the "pond" is represented, so if you have any questions, you get the best of both worlds to answer them!
