About
I’m Peter O’Connor, a tour director and performer with years of experience guiding groups around Ireland (and Scotland) for independent operators and educational programs. I love weaving meaningful itineraries with storytelling, music, and local culture to create memorable, enriching experiences for every traveler. I’m also expanding my repertoire as a multilingual educator and performer, continually learning languages and exploring Ireland’s ancient heritage.
Beyond guiding, I’m an active actor and musician. I’ve worked as lead actor with Derryplayhouse on Blood Red Lines, performed at Edinburgh Fringe and venues in Dublin, London, Dundalk and Belfast, and I teach mandolin and English online. I’m currently studying German and Spanish, and exploring Ogham writing and pre-Christian Ireland spirituality.
