CULTURal HERITAGE

Road Trip: Ireland is like having a car full of experts and locals to tell you about the area and share their cultural heritage as you drive. With the hands-free app, you’ll actually see the landscape as you hear about its role in local life.

Storytelling

You’ll be immersed in the legends, stories, and history of each locale as told by everyone from a seannachie (traditional storyteller) to the local barman, all woven together with beautifully crafted narration read by Irish actors.

Performances

The audio guide also features exclusive performances throughout, featuring singer-songwriters, storytellers, poets, actors, and, of course, plenty of Irish traditional musicians.

Coming Soon!

Now in post-production, Part 2 of our Wild Atlantic Way audio tour series takes you on an unforgettable journey into the culture and heritage of Ireland’s stunning Southwest. Heartfelt stories by beloved locals, poetry, exclusive performances by world-class musicians, and fascinating commentary from cultural experts regale you as you drive. Internationally acclaimed singer and County Kerry native Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh narrates.

“I feel it’s important that visitors realize we are desperately trying to hang onto something, as well as be a part of the modern world. I’d like them to hear a bit of our music, a bit of our language, to understand what was here before and what we’re trying to maintain now.”
