About Cathal Sheahan

I’m deeply passionate about Irish history, culture, acting, storytelling, and human connection.

For over 10 years, I have been guiding visitors through Dublin, creating relaxed, engaging, and memorable cultural experiences for people from all over the world. I’m proud to have consistently received 5-star reviews, and guests often comment on the warmth, clarity, and enjoyment I bring to each experience.

Alongside my work as a guide, I also work professionally as an actor, and that performance background strongly shapes how I communicate. Whether I’m leading a walking tour, facilitating a workshop, performing a storytelling show, or helping someone shape and share their own experience, I’m always interested in the same thing: how story, voice, and presence can help people connect more deeply with a place, an idea, or one another.

My academic background in Philosophy, Archaeology, and Film Studies continues to shape how I approach this work. Philosophy taught me to look beneath the surface and ask not just what happened, but why it mattered. Archaeology deepened my appreciation for the layers of history beneath our feet. Film and performance taught me how pacing, atmosphere, and emotional truth bring a story to life.

Over time, my work has naturally expanded beyond walking tours into workshops, storytelling experiences, and filmed story-led projects. But at the heart of it all is the same purpose: to create experiences that are thoughtful, engaging, and genuinely human.

Dublin has a story around every corner, and I love helping people connect with those stories—whether on the streets of the city, through live performance, or in a more reflective workshop setting.
