About Us

Keogh Barrett Tours was established in late 2018 by two entrepreneurs Anton Keogh and Thelma Barrett who combined have over 65 years’ experience in the Hospitality Industry.

Thelma Barrett

The Hotel, Catering and Restaurant sectors are in my DNA having grown up in the family hotel business. Being the youngest of 3 children where we all studied Hotel Management and married 3 hoteliers, to say hospitality is in my blood is an understatement.

Throughout my career I have developed an innate sense of consumer needs. I am passionate about customer care and lead by uncompromising example.

What I have learned along the way is to make every detail count, to double-check and triple-check everything. My passion is, without a doubt, travel combined with customer care, and when a client comes back and says they have a lifetime of memories to cherish from their experience I helped plan, I feel fulfilled in my career. My long-standing relationships with top industry suppliers allow me to provide you with extraordinary variety — from small, comfortable hotels, to world-class luxury resorts, to exclusive, intimate hideaways — all at extremely competitive prices. Give me a call today and let's start planning your next adventure.

Anton Keogh

Adventure, good company, and the great outdoors are my favourite things in life. As a keen traveler I spent time in Europe, Australia, Asia, and Russia as well as the Mediterranean. I love nothing more than showing a group of like-minded people the beauty of Ireland. I have a background in hospitality, history, transport, and music.

I love to make our guests feel at ease while they take in their surroundings, and get excited for the destinations that await them off the beaten track. Always with a story or an anecdote to contribute, I love to share the intricate detail of the less known history of Ireland, Its’ music and culture.
