Meet Steve – Your Local Guide to the Dingle Peninsula

Welcome! I’m Steve, your personal Dingle Peninsula tour guide, passionate about sharing the beauty and stories of this unique part of Ireland.

About Me

Dingle Peninsula Tour Guide

I’m Steven Ghesquiere – born and raised with a love for storytelling, history, and the incredible landscape of the Dingle Peninsula. After years working as a chef, I followed my heart back to the roads and ruins of West Kerry, creating Steve’s Peninsula Tours to share the beauty and spirit of this place with visitors from near and far.

Whether you’re walking in the footsteps of saints and scholars, visiting iconic sites like Slea Head or Gallarus Oratory, or simply chasing the perfect view, I’m here to guide you through it all – with insight, humour, and a few good stories along the way. My tours are designed for those who want more than just a photo stop – they’re for travellers who want to connect with the land, the language, and the legends of this remarkable part of Ireland.

Come along for the ride – the Dingle Peninsula is waiting to be explored.

Experience and Expertise

I know every backroad, stone ruin, beach, and local legend. My goal is to show you the hidden gems most visitors never see. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or with family and friends, I design flexible and personalised tours. Each trip is crafted to bring the rich history and natural beauty of West Kerry to life.

Rugadh agus tógadh mé ar Leithinis Chorca Dhuibhne, agus tá fáilte i gcónaí roimh an nGaeilge ar mo thurais.
(I was born and raised on the Dingle Peninsula, and Irish is always welcome on my tours.)

A Journey Built on Experience

Before starting Steve’s Peninsula Tours, I worked in several different roles that shaped the way I run my tours today. As a manager at the Dingle Brewing Company, I welcomed visitors from all over the world. There, I promoted Tom Crean’s Lager and organised brewery tours. I also founded DoDingle.com, one of the first local business websites in the area. This connected people with everything the peninsula has to offer.

Earlier, I worked as a 3D designer and visualisation artist. I created realistic presentations for architects and design firms, always focusing on detail. That same attention to detail is now a key part of my tours. From route planning to storytelling, every experience is thoughtfully curated.

Hospitality and Personal Touch

With a background in hospitality, including time as a chef, I know the value of comfort, presentation, and service. You’ll travel in a spacious, air-conditioned vehicle, and there’s always time for photos, coffee, or a quiet moment at your favourite spot.

I also love photography, graphic design, and cooking. As we explore, you might hear me chatting about local food, history, and folklore. I aim to make each tour friendly, flexible, and enjoyable for everyone.
