Marius our guide was awesome. He wasn't feeling well but didn't want to cancel our tour. He walked us around Dublin giving us the history and tidbits you don't find in a guide book. Highly recommend spending time with him if possible.
Eamon reaches out upon confirmation and keeps in contact Very knowledgeable and listens to our thoughts and ideas for the tour He’s fun to be with He has an excellent understanding of Irish history and his background adds to the experience
Our private travel experience to Dublin was beyond our expectations. Fiona was an excellent guide. Very knowledgable and was very dedicated to making this a personal experience. When we return to Dublin we will definately have Fiona walk us through the incredibly history and I know we will enjoy our time together. It was like meeting up with an welcoming friend.
We did the sights and hidden gems tour. Ruairi is a great storyteller and has excellent insider’s knowledge of Dublin. From the little known stories of events to the characters that make up the city. Great historical notes along with a locals knowledge of contemporary history made this a great tour of the inner city on a changeable blustery day.
We had a great time getting to know Dublin with Eamon! It's one thing to read about history and quite another to stand by pillars with chunks knocked out while someone points to the spot in the river from where boats were blasting at them! In addition to history nerdery, we learned about the habits and traditions of Trinity students, the status of seagulls (I would never have guessed they're struggling based on their cheekiness), and where to find traditional music. I would definitely recommend a tour with Eamon.
Our tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. She gave us a comprehensive tour of all of the major spots in Dublin, while also reviewing major points in Irish history.
History and stories were great! Suggestions and tips were much appreciated. Video of us touring around was fantastic! So nice to get some history and stories of Dublin and reccos of pubs to go to. Love it
Ruairi was outstanding! Knowledgeable, sincere, engaging and entertaining are just a few of the words that come to mind. Well connected too! If you are looking for an exquisite walking tour of Dublin, look no further.
Mydie gave us an excellent tour. She was lively and friendly, and she shared a lot of great information with us. She was able to give us historic background and current information as well as personal connections and perspective. I think you’ll enjoy any tour with Mydie.
Our walking tour was fantastic! Our guide, David was terrific. He was so knowledgeable and interesting. Truly the highlight of our trip to Dublin. David was kind to slow his pace for our two walking challenged. Look o further and try to get David before he gets too busy
