You can certainly get some information on particular places of interest that way, and while some of that is good, there’s unfortunately quite a lot of bad information too. Often copied and pasted from other sources, or compiled by people who have never visited the sites (or in some cases, people who have never even been to Ireland!) 

This means you can’t always trust that you have the right story, or that you even have permission to visit a monument. Or you might miss little hidden features, or another great site that happens to be just down the road if only you knew. Trying to do it all through Google means you have to dig through a lot of stuff to find reliable information.

We are experienced archaeologists and sustainable tourism experts, trusted by national bodies and local authorities all around Ireland. You can rely on our information. In our work for Abarta Heritage we’ve worked with communities across the island, and produced over 50+ audio guides, as well as countless heritage and sustainable tourism audits, and numerous public archaeology projects. Neil has also written acclaimed guidebooks for the Wild Atlantic Way and Ireland’s Ancient East, as well as hosting the popular Amplify Archaeology Podcast.

Simply put, we live and breathe researching and sharing Ireland’s heritage. You could not be in safer hands.

If you’re planning on visiting Ireland and you don’t want to be stuck on the tourist trail we can really help. Our exclusive itineraries are packed with hidden gems alongside the well-known sites so you won’t miss a thing. They come with downloadable & printable maps with all the practical information like coordinates to help you navigate. Our in-depth articles are the product of real research and visiting countless sites. They give you the story of the place and the people to make it so much more meaningful, and point out hidden features that are easy to overlook. Our virtual tours can give you an even deeper grounding in what to expect and the what, where and why of our beautiful landscapes like the Dingle Peninsula.

A membership with Tuatha contributes meaningful support of the Irish heritage industry. We’re a small self-funded company based in Clonmel, Tipperary. By choosing to join Tuatha, you contribute to the wages of our in-house team of archaeologists, heritage professionals and historians, allowing us to pursue valuable research in their fields. This research is then returned to you in expertly-crafted articles, courses, itineraries and webinars, available to all our members.

You will also help support the many researchers, heritage professionals and enthusiasts who love sharing their expertise and passions. When we engage external experts and professionals for talks and tours, we believe in paying them fairly for the time and knowledge they give us.

And by joining it allows us invest even more in running tours and events for members, and to greater engage with the public. We believe Ireland’s incredible heritage belongs to everyone, and that all communities on this island have valuable stories to tell.

No problem! If you join and find the membership isn’t for you then you can cancel easily. Monthly members get a 7 day cancellation window, and our annual subscribers get 30 days to change your mind. So if it’s not for you, just let us know and we’ll refund your money with no fuss at all. We want our members to feel like they have made the right decision, both when they first sign up and for the duration of their time with us.

You can cancel your subscription at any time during your membership so it won’t auto-renew, though if you are outside of the money back guarantee window then the refund does not apply.

Yes, our Monthly Members enjoy full access to all our articles, itineraries, courses and the full back catalogue of all our Tuatha Talks just like our Full Members. The only difference is that a monthly membership expires after 30 days and does not automatically renew. So it’s ideal if you’re looking for a short term bit of help with holiday planning, or if you’d like to dip your toe into Tuatha before you commit to an annual option (monthly members receive a discount if they wish to upgrade to become a Full Member).

The aim of Tuatha is to help you to develop a deeper connection with the stories and landscapes of Ireland. That goes for whether you are actually able to visit the sites or not. We know that there are so many people around the world that are unable to visit Ireland or people who may find it difficult to access some of the more remote or challenging sites, and we want to help them too. So we have immersive videos, lots of stories as well as in-depth courses, to help people feel like they can build a more meaningful connection with Ireland.
