Your Ireland
Personally planned and guided
by Angela
A different kind of tour
A more personal way to discover Ireland
Touraloora is not a script and a bus. Angela works with each group before the journey begins — understanding what you want to see, the stories that draw you, and the pace that suits you. From there, she shapes a tour that feels like it was made for you. Because it was.

signature experience
Roscommon & West of Ireland
A slower, deeper tour through Ireland’s least-known and most rewarding places. Quiet roads, living culture, the stories that belong to them.
“Travelling with Angela is like exploring Ireland with a knowledgeable friend who loves history, knows the back roads, and plays the songs.”
What makes the difference
Ireland through Angela’s eyes
Irish history and culture brought to life through storytelling and conversation — not a rehearsed commentary.
Routes, timing, reservations, and practical details handled carefully, so you can simply be present.
Angela listens first. Every tour is shaped around the people travelling.
Some of the most memorable stops are not on any tourist map. Angela knows where to find them.
Her collaboration with musician John Spillane gives her tours a distinctive, personal quality rare in guided travel.
Angela manages all driving, navigation, and coordination. Your job is to enjoy the journey.

Signature tour
Slow down.
Stay longer.
See Ireland differently.
Angela’s signature journey takes visitors through some of Ireland’s least-known and most rewarding places: the Shannon’s upper reaches and Lough Ree, the Abbey town of Boyle, the stone-walled roads of Roscommon, and out to the Atlantic coast of Connacht. There is time for a traditional session in a village pub, a conversation with a local, or a detour to a ruin that most visitors will never see.
