Description

This is not your average walking tour — it's a personalized deep dive into Dublin’s rich history, hidden corners, and local culture, led by a passionate local guide who tailors each experience to your interests. Because it’s completely private, you’ll get undivided attention, the freedom to ask questions, and the flexibility to go at your own pace. We explore not just the iconic landmarks like Trinity College, St.Stephen's Green Park, Oscar Wilde Memorial and Temple Bar, but also off-the-beaten-path gems you might otherwise miss. Whether you're a history buff, literature lover, or just curious about modern Irish life, this tour adapts to you — no scripts, no crowds, just authentic storytelling, local insights, and real connections.

This walking tour was the...

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!

Fun in Dublin

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!

Wandering the streets of Dublin with Pasquale from Travelling Ireland

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!

Best Dublin Immersion Experience

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!

Important birthday in Dublin

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
