Miriam was fantastic. Tour could have been done in less time. Too many people on the tour.

This was a wonderful way to experience, Dublin. Janet, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and pointed out landmarks and things to do as we walked. By the time we finished, we had a good idea of what we wanted to do with the rest of our time in Dublin. We also enjoyed the sites included on the tour. As other reviews and the description of the tour mentioned, this is a lot of walking. Probably between four and 5 miles with a lot of standing in between so you do want to have comfortable shoes, but we’re ready to do it again.

Very informative. Fergus was a good tour guide. I would end the tour at Trinity college. If you are interested in going to the Guinness brewery then just take a cab. No need for the additional walking through not great parts of Dublin. It also would of been nice if there was an actual tour at Guinness rather than just being dropped off at the tourist center.
Dear Raymond, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we're delighted to hear that you found the tour informative and that Fergus's guiding made a positive impression. We appreciate your suggestion regarding the route. We would, however, like to highlight that The Liberties is one of Dublin's oldest and most authentic neighbourhoods. Rich in history, character and local culture, it is home to centuries of fascinating stories, from medieval Dublin and the city's brewing and distilling heritage to famous characters and hidden gems that many visitors would never otherwise discover. In fact, the walk through The Liberties is consistently rated by our guests as one of their favourite parts of the day, largely because of the engaging storytelling and historical insights our expert guides bring to life along the way. It provides the essential context that makes the visit to the Guinness Storehouse even more meaningful. Regarding the Guinness Storehouse itself, the experience is designed by Guinness as a self-guided attraction, allowing visitors to explore the seven interactive floors at their own pace before enjoying a complimentary pint in the Gravity Bar overlooking Dublin. To make the most of our guests' valuable holiday time, we include reserved timed entry tickets, meaning there is no need to queue before entering one of Ireland's most popular visitor attractions. Thank you again for your thoughtful comments. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Dublin for another LetzGo City Tours experience in the future. Kind regards, The LetzGo City Tours Team

Dear Irene, Thank you so much for this excellent review! We're delighted Mario's knowledge, thoughtfulness and entertaining style made your full day of Dublin's top attractions such an amazing experience. Covering this much of the city in one day, without ever feeling rushed, is exactly what this tour is designed to deliver. Thank you again for sharing your feedback. We hope to welcome you back on another LetzGo City Tours experience in Dublin, Paris or London soon. Warm regards, The LetzGo City Tours Team
