Padraic has been leading tours for well over a decade in Ireland, France, Holland, Spain, Croatia, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Argentina and Scotland and never tires of the endless adventure.

Padraic is a life long biker and a true gourmand, and has a wide range of interests from politics to the arts and - of course - adventure travel. He has lived in Ireland, the UK, the USA, Australia and Argentina and has been described by some guests as a true 'Renaissance Man', having had a career which has included stints in sectors as diverse as International Banking, Journalism and Law.
