Wolfgang Lolies
I have over 20 years of experience working as a tour guide on the island of Ireland, focusing on catering to guests with high expectations. Additionally, I have traveled extensively worldwide. With my background as a former tour guide and a passionate traveler, I understand what it takes to craft the ideal itinerary.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in all things related to Ireland and Scotland. However, my true expertise lies in attentively listening to my clients' desires and transforming these aspirations into reality, whether it involves a family, a solo traveler, or a couple embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime journey."
How did you get involved in travel?
"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how I got involved in travel. Some suggest it might be related to the fact that I was born in the back of a taxi. Personally, I believe it's more likely due to growing up in a family that was passionate about traveling.
"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"My son and I embarked on an unforgettable adventure, traveling by car through more than half of the U.S. states, including Hawaii. During our journey, we stayed in a variety of accommodations, ranging from lodges and B&Bs to top hotels, and even Native American (Navajo) hogan huts. Along the way, we experienced everything from snowstorms to sandstorms and everything in between.
