Everyone knows that kissing the blarney stone is supposed to give you the “gift of the gab” but in Collette’s latest Ireland tour offering, travellers are in for a special treat 12 days with professional gabber Nelson Aspen, leading the company’s tour to the famed Emerald Isle.
Loved by Australian audiences as the Entertainment Reporter for Sunrise, Aspen has also honed his skills as an author and international entertainer.
He is also a seasoned traveller and tour host, having taken fans across the globe, from the Australian outback to South Africa on safari, through New Zealand’s vineyards and along Ireland’s famed Titanic Trail.
And in October 2026 he will showcase his guiding skills hosting Collette’s Shades of Ireland tour.
Guests travelling with Nelson can expect many a memorable moment including visiting Blarney Castle, exploring Killarney by traditional jaunting car, watch skilled border collies at a traditional sheepdog demonstration and there may also be the opportunity to try your hand at splitting the G!
