About Northpoint Irish Tours
Our story together starts in 2007 with buying a ferry ticket to France and arriving in the port of Roscoff in a Ford Fiesta with no clear intentions, just a deep desire to fully immerse ourselves in another country and truly explore a different landscape and its culture.
That was France...but four weeks and eleven countries later we finally and reluctantly returned home to Ireland and found ourselves with an emboldened sense of adventure and possibilities for our next trip. That next trip would involve the rest of mainland Europe, Japan, Australia, Scandinavia, Greece, Cyprus, Croatia, Eastern Europe and North Africa.
Then after living in Portugal for 4 years we came home to Ireland and currently live outside Cookstown, Northern Ireland.
Having had the travelling bug for some time, we both arrived at the same idea. We would start a company that shared the joy and wonder of exploring a new country with other like-minded travellers, and so Northpoint Irish Tours was born.
We'd love you to join us on a tour.
