Hi there, I'm Patrick, your go-to Dublin host with a knack for humor and a heart full of warmth. What do I love about Dublin? The "Craic"! There's nothing like the Irish sense of humor and our zest for life, finding laughter in every corner. I'm fascinated by Dublin's rich blend of history, from its Celtic roots to its modern, multicultural vibrancy, offering flavors and faces from around the globe. My passion? Diving into Dublin's ever-evolving food scene and sharing my finds, from hidden gems to the finest dining spots, regardless of your budget. And let's talk about Georgian Dublin – its elegance and history captivate me. I know the ins and outs of Dublin's neighborhoods like the back of my hand, especially Dublin 1,2,3,4,7,8, Malahide, and Howth. Join me for a walk, a laugh, and maybe a pint or two as we explore the heart and soul of this beautiful city together.

My reviews

We got lucky with Patrick! He is fun and has a seemingly infinite knowledge and a rare ability to tailor his talk to your specific interests seamlessly. He also gave us great recommendations for restaurants, pubs and places to go even before we started the tour. If he tells you to eat somewhere… do yourself a favor and eat there.

Patrick has an astonishing ability to tailor his walking tour to our interests. He’s charming, flexible and funny, and his knowledge base is incredible. Plus he gave us a wealth of suggestions for restaurants, pubs, things to do and places to see, both in advance of our tour and during the walk. We can’t recommend him highly enough.

Patrick Johnston took us through all of Dublin City and he was absolutely fantastic. He was charming, humorous and incredibly knowledgeable. His knowledge of the history of Ireland was beyond compare. He took us to lunch for a very traditional Irish meal at Boxtys. It was completely fantastic, including the beer flights. A wonderful day. Highly recommended!
