Description

Hi! My name is Marina and I’m an enthusiastic Dublin native ready to show you my beautiful hometown! Together we’ll complete a half-day walking tour of captivating coastal Dublin, venturing beyond the city centre and into seaside villages full of antique charm and hidden gems. The tour starts in beautiful Dun Laoghaire and its surrounding areas of castles, harbours, and museums, before finishing in one of Ireland's most charming villages where you can enjoy a meal at your own pace. You'll get a full overview of Irish history and insights into modern day Irish life. This is a private tour for you and your group only, and can be customised as required. We will explore like locals, with plenty of time for photos and stories. The tour is a perfect shore excursion or a break from the busy city! Please note that this is a walking tour and a moderate level of fitness is required. Feel free to reach out for further information or availability. I am looking forward to meeting you! :)

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!

Dalkey and Dun Laoghaire Walking Tour

Our guide, Marina, was excellent. She was very knowledgeable, personable, professional and made the tour interesting. Marina went out of her way to accommodate our schedule. I would definitely take another tour with her.
