This walking tour was the perfect way to explore the city with limited time while in port with a cruise ship! Pasquale was an amazing guide- we had the best time exploring the highlights of the city with him. From learning about the Temple Bar area to Trinity College, the Famine and Oscar Wilde - 10/10 experience. Highly recommend! Thank you Pasquale for a great afternoon!
Samantha was exceptional. Very knowledgeable and had great local recommendations. Will definitely use her service again.
Great to hear you enjoyed your Dublin Private Walking Tour with Travelling Ireland. Thank you for your lovely review. Take care
We had a group of 10 family members and this tour was great for us. I mistakenly led the group to the endpoint instead of the starting point but Pasquale was very understanding and met us half way. From there we had a lighthearted 3 hours of touring and fun. Pasquale is informative (enough) but also very funny which worked well with the vast majority of our group. All in all a wonderful experience, including a great lunch recommendation at the end!
Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a great time on your Dublin tour and we're glad it enhanced your experience. We hope to welcome you back on another Travelling Ireland adventure soon!
As part of the trip for the members of the ROIS Dance School, we asked Pasquale from Travelling Ireland to guide us through the streets of Dublin. Pasquale was truly very skilled, both in terms of expertise and communication ability. There is no doubt that we will contact him again on the next occasion. Highly recommended!
Grazie mille per questa recensione a 5 stelle. Spero di rivedervi presto e sono felicissimo che l'esperienza sia stata memorabile. A presto.
Very knowledgeable and friendly guide.
Interesting, engaging, truly enjoyable
Our guide was Pasquale, a very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly person! A walking tour in the city of Dublin with plenty of current and historical information! Very good!
My guide Andrew was outstanding. He exceeded expectations in every way. I was interested in Irish history, culture and must see Dublin locations. The passion he has for the area based on his Irish roots is wonderful. His knowledge is extensive, his storytelling fabulous and an unexpected delight was his singing. It transports you in time. Do not miss this opportunity to spend time with a local and broaden your knowledge of Dublin, Ireland and what're ever suits you. Highly recommend!
My husband and I spent some nice days in Dublin alone for the most part. One day was booked for us to spend with Pasquale Corvasce. After some time, it is still a very pleasant memory. A walk through the streets of downtown Dublin to keep among the most enjoyable memories. Thank you again
Ed was a great tour guide, would definitely recommend it.
