Brilliant guide, brilliant art

I've lived in Dublin for over 50 years and most of what we saw on this tour was a revelation even to me. The guide, Liam, was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly a member of the street art community himself. I loved the way the tour didn't try to cram in dozens of stops but instead focussed on a few, so Liam could give us an in-depth account of each artist and tell the story of how and why the piece was created. I'd thoroughly recommend the tour to anyone, local or tourist. I'll definitely be walking around with my gaze pointed upwards from now on!

Great street art

Wonderful background on street art and good selection of examples. Right amount of walking. Definitely a tour to do.

Discover a different side of Dublin

Street art walking tours are one of my favorite ways to learn about the culture, social concerns, and styles of expression of a community when I travel. Liam was an exceptional guide! Clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about not only graffiti as an art form, but the pieces that he showed on the tour. I particularly appreciated the additional context of the pieces and backgrounds of the artists that he introduced me to. If you’re looking for a way to explore a different side of Dublin, I highly recommend this tour!

Definitely worthwhile

Excellent use of my precious Dublin time - Liam did a wonderful job sharing details I’d never have known just walking around & looking at street art on my own. The backstory took it to another level; a great way to learn more about Ireland’s history & current cultural environment. Absolutely worthwhile. Honestly, it should be more expensive for what you learn (tipping the guide is a “must” for such an info-packed tour!).

Liam was a lovely guide,...

Liam was a lovely guide, made sure we all were able to hear him while getting great photos. He was very knowledgeable, and we quite enjoyed each of the pieces we stopped to see.
