About

An inspiring, in-depth exploration of Dublin's history from Irish bridge, to Viking town, and from colonisation to Independence. For those who seek a deeper understanding of and connection with Ireland. If you only have one day to see as much of Dublin as possible, you need this tour!

We’ll walk a nice loop of the city centre, taking in every main site (as well as many minor ones) in Dublin. Your personable, professional and enthuasiastic guide will regale you with the fascinating history and culture of Dublin and Ireland. We'll hear about Irish society, architecture, Irish language, literature, and of course, we'll have 'the craic' (fun, good times) during our jaunt around the fair city. [See the itinerary for more details.]

A coffee break and a meal break will be included to nicely punctuate the tour.

Reviews

See our TripAdvisor reviews for proof of how exceptional this tour really is:

"... an excellent guide! He knows his city and the history of his country and explains it in a super interesting and memorable way. We spent 5 hours walking around the city and the time flew by! Best decision that we made was to take this tour." ~ Linda, Oct '19

"We have used tour guides, local ones, on many adventures but we have never had a guide as wonderful as Garvan who showed us places, told us stories, sang, recited and explored one of a kind experiences in Dublin. Hands down he is one of the top three tour guides we have ever used in close to 30 years of traveling. He designed a custom tour for us which started at the Dublin Library and ended at the post office with a combination of site seeing, experiencing special commemorative events at the City Hall, the singing of "Molly Malone" and recitations of poetry by Yeats (Song of the Wandering Aengus). If we could clone him and use him in every city we would. It was an invigorating, emotion filled, curiosity satisfying foray into Irish culture through food, history, song, poetry and places. We will never forget Garvan and hope that one day we will have the honor, and it was indeed an honor, of going on another tour with him as our guide." ~ David B., LA, Aug '15
