Lucky that there were just 2 of us making for a more personal walking tour of about 3 miles. 👍 The guide was very knowledgeable although not Irish.
Thanks a million! ☘️ We're delighted you enjoyed the personal feel of the walk. You don't have to be born here to have the gift of the gab, and we're delighted our guide's knowledge shone through! Cheers and safe travels, Patrick!

Fun tour to get a brief history of Dublin’s main attractions. We were lucky enough to be the only ones on our tour (though I did miss a message asking if we would like to reschedule to be with a group- but we had Jameson distillery booked afterwards) and got a private walk through the city. About a 3 mile walk but well worth it!
Thanks a million! Delighted you had a great time on the walk and that the timing worked out perfectly for your distillery trip. Cheers for choosing us!
