Meet Your Expert Guide: Ronan Ganter

Fastnet & Beacon Chauffeur Travel was founded by me, Ronan Ganter. Originally from Dublin, I have dedicated my entire career to showcasing the best of Ireland to visitors from around the world. With over 25 years of experience in the chauffeur travel and tourism industry, I have developed an in-depth knowledge of Ireland’s history, culture, and landscapes. I hold a National Certificate in Tourism Skills, including guiding, which further reinforces my expertise in delivering insightful and enjoyable tours.

Eight years ago, I made Cork my home, embracing the charm, heritage, and beauty of Ireland’s southwest. Recently, I established Fastnet & Beacon Chauffeur Travel to bring my wealth of experience to the region while continuing to collaborate closely with my brother who continues to grow our long-standing high end chauffeur touring business in Dublin. Together, we provide a seamless experience for travelers wishing to explore all corners of Ireland.

Client Feedback

Hear from our satisfied clients about their experiences with us.

We had a delightful day with Ronan visiting a number of locations around County Cork. From start to finish it was a great experience. Ronan was thoroughly professional, knowledgeable and insightful. We came away crammed with information about the history, geography, politics (and everything else!) about Cork and Ireland and he was able to answer all of our questions. Ronan was able to adapt the day based on our requests and I can’t imagine a better way to see Cork. Thanks Ronan !

Ronan was outstanding in every respect. Completely comfortable the entire day. Awesome knowledge and expertise. Perfect day in Kinsale and Blarney Castle.
