The walking tour was a great way to learn a bit of history along with seeing some of Dublin’s famous establishments. Dan was the absolute best tour guide we’ve ever had. He was incredibly knowledgeable, encouraged question and was truly engaging! In addition to a wonderful tour, Dan provided a list or things to do, places to eat, day trips to take. If I could give the experience 1000 stars I would!!

Famous landmarks and history with a great guide in Dublin

It was great! Barry showed us the famous landmarks, but also the small things you don't recognise at first. He told us all about the history of the landmarks and history of Dublin and Ireland.
