Speaker 2 (00:51):
Hey, it's Z Michelson again and you're not going to
believe this.
I have Diana again from CelticTours and I know if you're
listening to this right now.
It's midsummer, it's very hot,but you know we have holidays
approaching and somethingIreland is very well known for
is Halloween.
So welcome to the show and tellme all about Ireland and

(01:13):
Halloween.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Well, I'm really excited to be talking about
something other than my trips.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Right, this is something different.
Now, this is something I wantto go on.
I want to go during theHalloween season.
How fun would that be?

Speaker 3 (01:26):
I know, I know, and Ireland is that's where it
originally started.
Halloween started in Irelandand, believe it or not, I mean
it is a pagan festival calledSelwyn Right and it was a Celtic
holiday and it's been going foryears and years and years and
years.
Yes, sad, I know.
I know a little bit about thisbecause I know you and I have

(01:48):
talked about it a little bit.
So they have four-day festivalsall over Ireland.
Four-day festivals.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Four-day festivals?

Speaker 3 (01:55):
yeah, because you know, the whole purpose of the
holiday is the marking of theend of the harvest season and
the beginning of winter.
Right, that was the wholepurpose of this amazing festival
.
Is the marking of the end ofthe harvest season and the
beginning of winter.
Right, that was the wholepurpose of this amazing festival
.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
So, that's kind of where it came from.
That's where it came from, andnow Celtic tours can get you
right into the heart of this.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Yeah, oh yeah, and I'm going to tell you a little
bit about it, but I do want totalk a little bit about Owen
itself.
Okay, yeah, so tell me, youknow, because it's really really
interesting.
Not a lot of people realizethat Halloween, you know,
originally came from Ireland andwhat came over here in the
States trick or treating wherethat came from and the

(02:37):
jack-o'-lanterns where that camefrom- Right.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
So yeah, let's go into Samhain.
Tell me about Samhain.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
So the full reason for it was because, you know,
summer was ending, it was goinginto the darker months, so the
Irish believed that the spiritscould move easily and pass
through to the mortal worldduring this particular time,
right.
So hence the whole spiriting,you know, spirits of it and all
of that.
So this was all Celtic.
You know the.
Celts this is the Celts, theLinden Right.
So hence the whole spiriting.
You know spirits of it and allof that.

(03:05):
So this was all Celtic.
You know the Celts.
This is what the Celts lived in, right?
So do you know about thecostumes?
Well, tell me about Ireland'scostumes so well, ireland
costumes are amazing, especiallyin some of the parades and
things like that they have.
Now you should see some ofthese costumes.
They go up and over, above andbeyond.

(03:25):
So.
But the reason why the Celtsactually wore the costumes and
the masks?
They had to disguise themselvesfrom the evil spirits they
feared, you know.
So they were disguisingthemselves, so the spirits would
go past them.
So hence the scariness of thecostumes.
So the scarier the better, yes,yes, because the spirits would
just go right and they felt thatthey would just pass right by

(03:47):
them.
So yeah, I mean really reallyinteresting stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Now, is it true I don't know if you know this or
not isn't it true that we usepumpkins here in the United
States?
But over there they startedwith like a turnip or something
they did.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Yeah, yeah, they started with turnips.
They didn't have pumpkins there, right, yeah, so they would.
Actually, the kids would maketurnips, you know, faces out of
the turnips, and they wouldactually put them in the windows
, right, so that's where thejack-o'-lantern came from.
That's where thejack-o'-lantern came from.
Yeah, very cool, very cool.
I mean, it's just such anamazing history.
It is, it's history.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
You know, a lot of people say, well, where did it
come from?
Well, now we know where it camefrom yeah, yeah, and even the
trick-or-treating.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
So kids would actually go up to the door
because they were poor, right,you know, and they would ask for
sandwiches.
Right, they didn't saytrick-or-treat, they would just
go knock on the door and thiswas because of the festival,
right, they would actually offerthe poor these sandwiches.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
They would be able to eat something Were they in
costume?

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Not necessarily.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Not necessarily.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Of course, they were always in costume during the
festival itself.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
The festival itself.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
yeah, so if they were in costume then they would go
to the store.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
So that's kind of where the trick-or-treating came
from as well.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Very, that's very full, that's very full.
And now what's going on overthere is even more amazing.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, yeah.
They have festivals again allover the place.
The most popular is in Derry,in Derry, in Derry, the walled
city of Derry, that is actuallythe largest Halloween festival
in all of Europe.

Speaker 2 (05:17):

Yeah, he did.
So he actually comes fromIreland, in a city, a little
suburb of Dublin, really, andyou're going to go to Bram

(09:25):
Stoker's house as well.
Oh, how cool is that.
On the tour on the first day ofyour arrival, have you seen
Bram Stoker's house?
I have not.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
It's something that I want to do.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yes, we did it last year yes, you did and I
unfortunately wasn't able to doit.
Oh no, because I didn't know wewere going to do it this year.
And I can't go again because Iboops myself during the sleep.
I'm so a pimp boy.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Right when you're in the travel business.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Sometimes you can't go to the ones you want to go to
.
I'm an October baby.
I love, love Halloween.
It's one of my favoritefavorite.
Mine too, I used to go toHalloween parties and dress up
and answer the door and we'llcompletely cause death with the
trick-or-treaters.
So I absolutely love Halloween.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Halloween is such a fun time it is, and when you're
going to Ireland it makes youeven more fun.
And now to know you go intoBram Stroker's house.
Oh my gosh.
That in itself in my mind.
I'm thinking does he have acastle?
Does he have?

Speaker 3 (10:22):
a house that works?
I didn't at all, but you know,you think, you know.
Yeah, I mean, I had no ideauntil I started researching this
.
Actually last year, right,because I was talking, I did a
whole webinar on Halloween,right, talked about Halloween
and where it came from and allthose traditions and everything
so and I found out that BranStruckle was originally from
Ireland.
I did not know that.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yes, you know, I know where he kind of got the
storyline from to create it, butit's like really Ireland
Interesting.
I wonder if Samhain was part ofwhat he thought while he was
creating his storyline.
I guess they'll have to go onthe tour to find out, maybe.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah, I'm sure they're going to offer a lot
more information on it.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
So now is the house open to the public.
It's a tour?
Yeah, it is a tour, so you cango in the house.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
So let's say, you didn't want to do this
particular tour, right?
You can do something on yourown, right?
You know, get Celtic tours ofPaul, yeah, if you want to go
there on your own without doingan escorted tour, we can put
that together for you as welland we can tell you all of the
best locations to go.
If you want to go to Derry, youcan go to Derry and do the
Halloween there.
There's also a few otherlocations that you can actually

(11:31):
go to, such as you can go toCounty Me, where they have a
huge celebration as well Again,a four-day celebration, for when
as well?

Speaker 2 (11:42):
It sounds like anywhere you land in Ireland
there's going to be a party.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
It's called the Pooka Festival the.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Pooka Festival Pooka.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Festival.
Okay, the Pooka Festival isactually a festival and a Pooka
is an animal Right.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
A Pooka is a spirit, right, yeah, spirit animal, yeah
, and it can be a little violent.
Yeah, the pootis can be bad.
Yeah, bad pooter, bad pooter.
So I mean, there's a lot If youwanted to say.
Somebody said, well, I want togo during this time frame and I
want to go on.
Only haunted tours Can Celtictours provide this, yes, yes, we

(12:19):
could.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
We could actually go ahead and just put together a
complete tour with ghost tours,right, and anything that they
want, right, you know they wantto do.
They want to go to differentpubs where there might be ghosts
, right, things like that.
So absolutely yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Wow.
So you want to go to Ireland,you want to do Halloween?
You can contact CelticTourscomor your travel advisor and say I
want to go to Ireland forHalloween.
Yes, there's a lot happening.
Now.
You have the one special tourand if you don't get in on that
one special tour, you can go toIreland.

(12:55):
Still, ireland does not shutdown, correct, correct.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
And let me tell you, even for those who might have
small children, right, so inDublin, at the Epic Museum,
right, they do a festival kindof thing also for children, for
the little ones, for the littleones.
So it's not so scary, exactly.
So you can want to go ahead andstill do Halloween and bring the
kids to Dublin, where they canactually experience Halloween

(13:20):
where it originated.
There's all kinds of things forthe children to do as well, and
you can just stay there inDublin.
You can go for five, six, sevendays and stay in one location
and then just go from there.
Right yeah, now does Celtic.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Tours help with airfare?
Yes, so they can help with theairfare.
If you want to packageeverything together, you can do
that.
Yeah, you can create the tours,you can create the airfare, you
can everything the hotel stay,the transfers.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Let's say, for example, you wanted to again do
this kind of on your own, butyou wanted to experience it by
rail, Right, you know maybedifferent places by rail, which
is one of our independentjourneys where we can do
transfers.
And then let's say you're inDublin, you can do a hop-on,
hop-off bus.
We can book that board, but youcan do it on your own and we
can put all of that together foryou and all you have to do is

(14:11):
just follow the itinerary.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
And now you call this independent journey.
Independent journeys andindependent journeys allows you
to move at your own pace.
Go where journeys andindependent journeys allows you
to move at your own pace.
Yeah, go where you want to go.
Basically, yeah, the guidanceof Celtic tours, correct,
helping you through.
Correct, which is good, becausesometimes people don't want to
be with a large group and theywant to be able to go here and

(14:34):
go there.
Well, you know, I want to seethis, but they don't want to see
that, right?
So this is something that wouldbe good for like anybody, right
?
Yeah, it can still happen forHalloween.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
And for those who might want alittle bit extra, you know,
maybe a little higher end, theycan do one of our private
chauffeurs.
Maybe Grandma and Grandpa wantto take the entire family over
for Halloween, right, so theycan go ahead and do a customized
chauffeur.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
So would they be able to like I'm going to call it a
van Would it be like a van typeof situation?

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, bring her.
I just made a Mercedes Sprinter, mercedes Sprinter Okay, wow, I
wouldn't recommend this formore than 12 people.
You know more than 12.
You want to keep it small?

Speaker 2 (15:18):
But that's kind of nice.
I mean because if you do havelike mom and dad and they have
two or three children, sothere's five right there, and
then say grandma and grandpawant to come along, yeah,
there's seven, yeah, and that'sa nice little pack there Exactly
, and you can customize it.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
So we can customize it.
So let's say they want to go tothe festival, because they do
have a festival at Bram Stropa.
It's actually the Bram Stropa.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Festival.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
So, let's say they want to go there for one day,
then they want to go to Derryfor another day for the festival
, then they want to go to NewDublin for a day, so they can
actually Now how would they beable to sort this out, like if
they're on your website, doesyour website show?
These things.
Our website typically has ourescorted tours, but our

(16:04):
specialists are amazing andputting anything they want
together.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Okay, so if a travel agent gets contacted by one of
their clients and their clientsare saying, well, I want to see
this.
You know, I want to go todublin, but I don't want to go
here, but I want to go overthere, you know, the travel
advisor can contact celtic tours, one of your specialists, and
say I have a client that wantsto do this, this, this, this and
this, and the specialist getsto work Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, oh very cool.
All of our reservations.
Our specialists are justamazing.
They're so well-versed,especially in Ireland, because
Celtic Tours, that's where westarted Right.
So they're very, verywell-versed, they're educated,
they always go over there Right,experience it for themselves,
which?

Speaker 2 (16:43):
is nice.
They see it, they know it.
So when you contact them, orwhen the travel advisor contacts
them, they can say well, I'vebeen there, I've been here, this
is what you're going toexperience, this is what you're
going to see.
That makes it even better.
Because, they're educated inthe product.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Oh, they're educated in the product.
Oh yeah, without a doubt.
I mean, they do this day in andday out, and they put these
specialized tours together dayin and day out.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
So it's really really just amazing.
Well, actually the owner wasn'the from Arrow, he's from
Dowland.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Mr Murth is from Dowland and his daughter is from
Dowland.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
And it is a family-owned business.
It is Family-owned business.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
It is Family-owned and operated.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
So a lot of people like to know that it's
family-owned and operated yeah,no-transcript.
And when they know the products, it makes it easier for them to
buy into what's filling on.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Oh, absolutely.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, they can say okay, well, that sounds great,
or I don't like that so much,but I like the other thing that
you said and they can reallysort through and people enjoy
that, yeah, and they listen,right, you know, they listen to
what the client wants, right?

Speaker 3 (17:57):
So if the client is looking for something specific
let's say they want to go toLimerick because their family
was from Limerick ourspecialists know exactly where
to put them so that they wouldbe located where they can walk,
city center or they can, youknow.
So they really really knowtheir stuff.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Now I have to ask, and I'm probably going to sound
crazy and out of my life, isn'tthere an island off of Ireland,
where supposedly the fairies areWell.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
Okay, so the Irish believe in fairies, but they
don't Right, it's the littlepeople they don't believe in it.
Again, it's part of ourexperience Right To educate as
well.
So when, when our driver, ourdriver, tour guide, who's the
same person, he's actuallytalking to you and he explains
all about those folktales andeverything, and I know the fairy

(18:46):
, the island of fairies, right,because I know people leave
little donations for the fairiesthey do, and I know the Irish
believe that some fairies can beall mean.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
You know where it's that tinkerbell yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
Right, right, yeah, right Right.
And there's also a lot of forthose who are really religious
Right.
We actually stopped and I thinkI talked about this in one of
my last podcasts at St Bridget'sWell Right, so they can
actually get a little bottlefrom the spruce Right.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
There's so much to offer for so many people, so
they can go very religious, theycan go very Celtic, they can go
very pagan.
There's all sorts of historythat Ireland brings to the
forefront.
Oh yeah, and you can createyour own tour if you want.
If you have a family that wantsto go overseas and go to

(19:36):
Ireland, this would be the wayto do it, because, yeah, it's
nice to go during Halloween.
If you can go during Halloween,great.
If you can get on this littletour that you're promoting right
now, that would even be better.
But if they can't and want togo and they have other things
they want to see, they can dothat too.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Right, yeah, and that's what's great about Keltu
Tours.
I think that kind of sets usapart from our competitors.
It is that we do so muchcustomization.
Right, you know, we canactually customize.
Let, for example, you want togo to Scotland and you want to
do just scotch tasting all overScotland.
That would be nice, we can dothat for you?

Speaker 2 (20:11):
That would be nice.
I've been to Scotland and I didsome scotch tasting.
Now, I don't particularly carefor scotch, but if I'm going to
be at these what do they call itdistilleries?
Yep, If I'm going to be at oneof these distilleries, I'm going
to taste it.
I want to see what it's allabout and then to hear about the
angel's share.
That was even better, but thatis very not Okay.

(20:33):
So the angel's share is amazing.
When they're doing all of thisbrewing, there's some steam that
escapes.
That's considered the angel'sshare, so the angel even gets a
piece of the yacht.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
Exactly.
Look at the room Boy, it'shappy you got me on that,
because I've not been toScotland Now.
I have been to Ireland and Iwas at the Jameson and they
talked about the angel's share,Right you know.
So they talked a little bitabout that as well, Right,
Because you know it's kind ofall in the same family, yeah
it's all the same kind of youknow they have the Celtics Right
.
All Celtic.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Just a little bit of a twist on their founding, but
it's amazing to see the historyover there.
When I went to Scotland I wasstanding in front of someone's
door that they showed me thatwas like over a thousand years
old and it was still in onepiece.
It's like we don't even havebuildings in the United States

(21:29):
over a thousand years old.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
I know, you know, we are such a young country.
Yes, you know, people think, oh, we're over 200 years old.
Yeah, we're over 200.
But do you know how oldeverything is in Europe, right?

Speaker 2 (21:42):
My goodness, now do you also go to Dublin.
That's a major.
Do you go to Belfast, as?

Speaker 3 (21:47):
well, we can go to Belfast, yes, we can go to.
Belfast, we do.
We actually only have one tour,like if you wanted an esport
tour, we tour it's called On.
Treasures.
That does the north of Ireland.
So it does Ireland itself, andthen Northern Ireland which is
still the United Kingdom, whichis where.
Belfast is located.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
So, and then we go into Belfast and we do the
Titanic.
Yeah, that's where the Titanicwas actually built, yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Right, and I remember we did a show where it actually
sailed from.
Yeah, remember I remembertalking with you about that.
Yes, so there's so much to seeover in Ireland.
Celtic tours can help you seeall of it.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yes, I mean anything that you want to do, anything
that you want to see, no matterwhat your budgeting is Right,
you know some of our tours startfrom like $16.99, depending on
the tour and nights and you know, and can go up from there,
