We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Dún Laoghaire! Marina gave us so much more than a tour—she helped us truly get to know the area, understand its history, discover its hidden gems, and begin to feel at home in this lovely part of Ireland. Since we were staying for an extended period, she showed us how to use the public transportation, food stores, pointed out favorite pubs and restaurants.
She even met with us virtually before our trip to discuss our plans and answer our pre-travel questions, which was incredibly helpful. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine love for the area made the experience both informative and enjoyable. We highly recommend Marina to anyone wanting to experience Dún Laoghaire like a local!

Hidden Gem of a Tour
Marina took us on a walking tour of Dublin's coast that was one of the highlights of our 11-day British Isles trip! She is knowledgeable, fun, real, and considerate. As a local, she taught us so much about history and culture, engaging with our 8,445 questions readily. When we go back to Dublin, we are going back to Marina to see what other tours she might have. This tour is truly beautiful and truly 3 hours, but not exhausting for those in our 50s. She left us at an adorable village with 3 great restaurant recommendations, and we loved the Italian one we chose.

Highlight of the trip- will be recommending!
This tour was definitely a highlight of our trip! Marina was fantastic, welcoming, personable, and knowledgeable. I wanted to do something different for my second time in Dublin and will be recommending this to family and friends. We learned and saw so much and it was a great escape from the city. Taking public transit in and out of the city center was super easy, too.

A brilliant experience of Dublin’s charming coastal essence.
Our walk with Marina today was exceptional. The coastline, lanes, gardens, merchant castles, coves, quarries, swimming nooks and villages were stunning- even on quite a challenging morning of weather. Marina brought deep knowledge of her local neighbourhood’s lore, stories, characters & quirks with such superb perspective, evocative language and gravitas. She was attentive to our travel plans, and utterly professional. A brilliant experience of Dublin’s charming coastal essence.

An excellent experience
I had booked a tour and Marina promptly reached out to let me know she could not make the tour date for a valid reason. She refunded our reservation and kindly sent us a free audio tour that she had created. It was easy to follow and very informative. To explore it on foot with Marina’s knowledge/history of the area through the audio tour was a great experience. Highly recommend this tour!
