Tour Ireland

Liz Aungier - Reservations Manager

With over 21 years experience in the tourism industry, Liz leads our expert reservations team. When she’s not applying her fantastic organisational skills and in depth knowledge of Irish accommodation to the job at hand, you might find her refining her culinary skills and bringing her own brand of spice to her dishes. Liz has been involved in various charity projects around Ireland including the Special Olympics; and last year she delved into the glitz of the fashion world to organize a charity fashion show in a five star hotel in Dublin City Centre. In 2010 Liz got to visit Kylemore Abbey for the first time and it really made an impression:

“I’ve wanted to go there for many years. Turning the corner on the coach and seeing this impressive structure was a really wow moment and I’ll always remember it vividly”.

Gillian O' Brien - Reservations Agent

Born and raised in Wicklow, Gillian has been working in the tourism industry since 2004 and with Tour Ireland since 2010. In her photo you can see the famous Round Tower in Glendalough, County Wicklow. During her spare time, Gillian loves to get out in the open air and take long walks through Wicklow’s beautiful countryside and lush mountains. Or you might find her travelling with her friends – whether she’s taking a trip around Ireland or venturing further afield, Gillian enjoys nothing more than exploring a new area. Galway City, on the west coast is one of her favourite places in Ireland:

“Galway city has something for everybody, young and old. It’s also a great base for going on day trips to Connemara and The Aran Islands."

Janice White - Reservations Agent

Janice lives in County Wicklow and of all Ireland’s thirty-two counties it’s her favourite..She is pictured by the sea on Wicklow's coast with Bray Head in the background. Janice is extremely social and the only thing she enjoys more than going out with her friends is Irish Dancing. She is very proud of her heritage and demonstrates this whenever she can through her favourite pastime. Janice has been dancing all her life and her dancing shoes have taken her to every corner of Ireland, dancing to traditional Irish music at Irish dance events and introducing her to some of the most beautiful parts of this island:

“Powerscourt Gardens and Waterfall are two of my favourite places to visit. They're very beautiful.”

Yet another Wicklow native, Sinead is the most adept Irish speaker in the team having studied at an all Irish secondary school and in her spare time you might find her in Killarney brushing up on her horse-riding skills. When it comes to Ireland, it’s the stunning natural settings that she loves the most:
