Wonderful Introduction to Dublin
Mary took us on a walking tour of Dublin in early May. Even though she seemed to be sick (a cold? hay fever?) she shouldered on and did not let that slow her one bit. She was very knowledgeable about the sights, history, and notable persons of Ireland. She even took us to several places that were not on the itinerary. It was especially nice to be in such a small group. Thanks, Mary.

Fun learning history of Dublin
This was a great tour of Dublin! We had the best guide, Kate McCartney, who felt more like an old friend than a tour guide! She has so much knowledge of the history of Dublin that we could have listened to her stories all day! Highly recommend this tour!

Guided Brilliance
These types of experience really live and die on the guide. Tony was brilliant.
I’m sure we only scratched the surface of Tony’s knowledge and he brought to life, little known facts about Dublin and its history that I simply don’t think we’d ever have discovered otherwise.
Tony was able to tailor the tour to what we wanted and ensured we finished near our next activity of the day.
It was better than expected and we had high hopes. Very much recommend.

Excellent walking tour of Dublin highlights
Tony was AWESOME!!! Such a great sense of humor and did a phenomenal job of condensing a few thousand years of history! Dublin is such an easy walking city - this was a great intro to Dublin plus Irish history. Highly recommend!!

Great private tour of Dublin
We had a lovely tour with Tony. He listened to what we were interested in, and tailored our tour to those areas. He managed to explain Ireland's complicated history into a clear and concise story, and we learned a lot from him - both those of us who were familiar with the country, and those who weren't. He was great at answering all our questions about Dublin, and gave us lots of tips in terms of other things to see based on our interests, as well as restaurants, music venues and shopping. He was also extremely funny, and had us in stitches at times with his anecdotes. Would definitely recommend!

Fascinating tour of Dublin
Our guide was Kate and she took us on a two hour tour of the city. There were so many things that we didn't know about Dublin, and Kate gave us the historical background as well as taking us to all the places of interest. All six in our party went away with a much better idea of the city
Operator response
Thank you for the lovely review. Glad you had a great time in Dublin!
