Your host
Your Host on this departure
Antoine Tremblay
Patrick has hosted Wheel & Anchor journeys through Ireland, Scotland and Portugal since 2019. A Dubliner by birth and a Galwayman by preference, he knows which pub has the session worth staying up for and which headland is worth the early alarm. He'll be with the group from the first morning in Dublin to the last evening in Galway.
The Host currently scheduled for this departure is Antoine Tremblay. Host schedules may change; the assigned Host will be confirmed prior to departure.
