Learn Dublin from a local

Loved this tour! After a week of exploring Dublin by ourselves, we were excited to learn more about the city’s history - and John R. was the perfect guide for this! He has great local knowledge to keep you away from tourist traps and recommendations for great food and cold pints (you’ll need it after all the walking).

A great tour (even in the rain)

Even though we've lived in Dublin a long time it was mad how little I knew about the city. A really interesting and engaging tour. Not only was Gareth a fantastic guide, it was obvious he really enjoys what he is doing. Would easily and happily recommend to everyone.

Everything about the tour was excellent and I would recommend it to anyone. Everyone we spoke to was very friendly.

Excellent tour with knowledgeable driver. He seemed to know everything with a sense of humour as well. I would gladly go on it again.

Informative walking tour around the south side

We chose this tour of the many on offer as the time and meeting point were convenient and so we’re pleased to find it was a good option! We were the only people in our slot so had Gareth to ourselves which was great. He chatted about all sorts of things about living in Dublin as well as telling us the history as we walked around. He ended the tour by pointing us in the right direction for an excellent pint of Guiness!

I recommend Tour with Alexandra.

Last Wednesday, August 13, I had the opportunity to attend a Spanish Tour, guided by Alexandra. It was a fantastic experience, not only for knowing the history of some of the important sites of the city, but for having laughed, sang, etc. Alexandra is very friendly, cheerful and Funny. Congratulations Alexandra. Lucila
