Dublin Private Medieval Walking Tour
David O’Sullivan was so interesting! I really appreciated the pick up & drop off at the hotel. It was nice seeing so many hidden gems around town. The pace was perfect & the guide was personable. Such rich history in such a beautiful city! I learned so many things!
Best commentary and...
Best commentary and insights on any tour I have taken; our guide Edward M. was outstanding. He was engaging and provided us with great understanding of what we were seeing. Highly recommend Edward and this tour. Although the tour itself was pricey; so worth the investment.
Great private tour to discover Dublin and it's history. Family-friendly.
Great experience. We did this private tour as our first activity in Dublin with our 3 year old and enjoyed the flexiblilty of our guide. Ed was both very knowledgeable and open to answer all our questions about Dublin. At the end of the tour we especially appreciated the many personal recommendations of what to visit, where to eat and what to do in general in Dublin. Highly recommended.
An informative walking tour
A very informative and personal tour with Pasquale. He provided a nice history of the Vikings and Angelo Protestants that came and took over land from Ireland, transforming it into what it is today. This is a great tour for people who want to learn the history of Ireland from the 1200s to the 1800's.
Knowledgeable local tour guide
Wow. Just wow. Ed was an amazing tour guide. He was local and knowledgeable. He taught us so much about Irish history and took us to so many locations that we could use to visualize all of the historical information. 100% recommended.
