Latest reviews from our guests

We had an amazing day walking around Dublin with our awesome guide, Tony. He planned a lot of great places for us to visit, but was also very open to our suggestions. It was a wonderful way to learn about the city, and gave us ideas for where to revisit on our own, when we had more time. Highly recommended!

Paddy blew away our expectations. His knowledge of history added amazing context to our tour. From Viking history to The Troubles, Paddy did a fantastic job combining history with a compelling walking tour that showed us all of central Dublin on our 4-hour tour. I would definitely recommend Paddy to anyone looking for a rich, enlightening walking tour of Dublin.
