Victor McManus, a 67-year-old former motor industry worker, has discovered a new passion as a Cave Tour Guide at the Marble Arch Caves in Co Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. He enjoys sharing his love for the caves and the area with international and local visitors.
As a young schoolboy, Victor McManus enjoyed his daily journey to and from school as he made his way past the Boho Caves of Belmore Mountain.
He said: “I really enjoyed my career but for as long as I can remember I have always wanted to work in tourism and hospitality – I guess you could say I have tourism in my bones. I’m very proud to say I’m from Boho, it is a beautiful part of the world, and I love being able to show international, and local, visitors just how stunning Co Fermanagh is.
As a part-time Cave Tour Guide, Victor works three days a week delivering guided tours for up to 21 people per group through a 1.1-mile stretch of the show cave. A typical day will see him deliver three or four of these tours and impart knowledge about the history, formation and geology of the show cave to each group.
A keen swimmer, Victor still has time to pursue his interests outside of work and credits the role with providing the inspiration to stay active. Urging anyone interested in a role in tourism and hospitality to get involved, Victor says his job really caters to his interests and has only helped to broaden his horizons.
