Get an interactive history lesson

Dublin is a city with centuries of history and Celtic heritage, and there’s no better way to explore it than on foot. Our historical walking tours of Dublin take you to the cobbled streets of one of Dublin's oldest areas, the Temple Bar district, and teleport back through time to the Middle Ages when Vikings roamed the streets and shores. On our historical walking tours of Dublin, you could even get familiar with the literary heritage of the city, stopping off for a pint at the pub frequented by Oscar Wilde. Who needs a history textbook when Dublin walking tours do such a great job?

From city life to scenic splendor

Our Dublin walking tours effortlessly move between the colorful, compact city and breathtakingly beautiful nature. See historic neighborhoods in the heart of Dublin on our Irish whisky tour and Temple Bar experience, or head further afield on hidden Dublin walking tours to cliffside castles and peaceful towns dotted along the coastline. But you don’t have to go too far, because Dublin itself is full of natural beauty. From St. Stephen's Green, the sprawling central park, to the 300-year-old Iveagh Gardens, walking tours of Dublin are the perfect way to experience the best of both worlds.

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.
