Incredible tour that covered so much history. Richard is an incredible tour guide with a wealth of knowledge. He made the tour fun and informational!
Great Tour. Be prepared to walk a minimum of 12,000 steps. It is a Walking Tour! Our guide/leader, Jimmie, was "tuned" in to the group. He was a fantastic leader and educator. We, very much enjoyed our experience.
Best tour guide we’ve ever had! Friendly knowledgeable fun and made our tour absolutely worth every penny! He’s a walking book of history! RICHARD is the BEST!
A great tour to see the highlights of the city. The guide Richard was very good, with great knowledge and good humor. He made the tour very enjoyable for us. The trip itself was a bit long-winded and strangely there was no possibility to eat on a 5.30am trip that started at 10.30am.
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring the highlights of the city with Richard. He is a fantastic guide who combines deep knowledge, wonderful storytelling, and a great sense of humour — and we are so happy to hear that he made the experience fun and memorable for you. Our goal with this tour is to bring the city’s most iconic locations to life, not only by visiting the famous landmarks but by sharing the incredible stories, history, and hidden details behind them. We appreciate your comments regarding the length of the experience and the opportunity for a food break. This tour is designed to include many of the city’s top attractions and experiences in one day, so there is a lot to see and cover. However, we completely understand your point, and your feedback is very valuable as we continue to improve the experience and make sure guests are comfortable throughout the day. Thank you again for joining us and for your kind words about Richard. We hope to welcome you on another LetzGo City Tours experience in the future. Warm regards, The LetzGo City Tours Team
The tour included visits to the St. Patrick's, statue of Molly Malone, Dublin Castle (not open that day), the Kells Experience, and the Guinness brewery and Gravity Bar. Our guide was the excellent Jimmy, who led us around and was a font of information, friendly and accessible. He could also read his group, and instead of walking the St. James Gate (Guinness), he had us take a double-decker public bus, which was an experience in itself, and saved wear and tear on the feet of us older people (and gave us more time for the Guinness tour). I recommend the tour (and Jimmy). Sure, it's a lot of walking but I have some mobility issues and was able to make it (with plenty of places to sit down at times).
Wonderful day with Jimmy. He was very helpful and informative!
Overall, this was a good way to see a lot of Dublin in a single day. Samantha was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the tour moving without making it feel rushed. We enjoyed visiting St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Trinity College and the Book of Kells, and finishing the day at the Guinness Storehouse. The skip the line saved a lot of time and made the experience much smoother. I would have liked a little more free time at a couple of the stops, but other than that, it was well organized and a great introduction to Dublin.
A wonderful half-day tour of Dublin’s significant sites with the added historical and cultural background brought to life by Elisa. Thank you for a great tour Elisa!
