Two guides for the price of one. - It was a lovely, informative day with Kate and Jack roaming around the city of Dublin. There were 5 of us so it was nice that Jack came along as well and could answer any questions we had. Both Kate and Jack have a trove of historical knowledge to share as well as some fun personal stories that made our time with them very pleasant. Thank you

Great Time - Keelan was a great tour guide. We felt the private tour was well worth it. We learned a lot about Ireland's history, and the castle tour was very interesting. Keelan adjusted his stories and info based on our interests. It was very relaxed and not rushed at all.

AMAZING!!!! - Kate was first of all absolutely lovely. It felt like walking around Dublin with a friend who lived there. She is incredibly knowledgeable with great little gems that you don't read about in books. Walked on the less touristy streets as well which gave us a better flavor of Dublin . I'm SOOOOOOOOO happy we chose her as our guide. If you do as well, you definitely won't regret it. Thank you for a fantastic day Kate :-)

So worth it! - We had the pleasure of exploring Dublin with Eamon, and it was an unforgettable experience. Eamon's knowledge of the city's history, culture, and hidden gems is unparalleled. Not only was he incredibly informative, but he also made the tour fun and engaging. One thing that really stood out was Eamon's flexibility. He tailored the tour to our interests and ensured we got to see all the must-visit sites as well as some hidden treasures that we wouldn't have discovered on our own. From iconic landmarks to charming gardens, museums, and libraries, Eamon provided a comprehensive overview of Dublin's past and present. His passion for the city was evident in every detail he shared. I highly recommend Eamon as a tour guide for anyone visiting Dublin. You won't just see the city; you'll truly experience it in all its richness and diversity.

Very generous in knowledge, time and fun!! - We have taken a private tour of Dublin with Eamon; we were interested in history, Irish culture, urban stories and recommendations on things to see/do. We had that and more! From the first 5 minutes we felt as if we were touring the city with a friend; we laughed, asked lots of questions, exchanged ideas. Eamon adapted the tour to our questions and needs as we went; we enjoyed his very rich culture, his sense of humor, the personalized exchange we had with him, the generous time and attention he gave us… we never wanted the tour to end. The day after we felt like giving him a call to thank him for all the recommendations he gave us because it was spot on!! Thank you Eamon for the unforgettable experience!

Wonderful, historically detailed 5-hour walking tour - We booked a 5-hour walking tour for our family (one child, one teen, and two adults). Eamon was very knowledgeable and shared a great deal of history with us, with entertaining facts and stories sprinkled throughout. He was very flexible and responsive to questions and our preferences throughout the day. We fully enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot about Dublin and Irish history. We definitely highly recommend the experience to other visitors.

Mr. Dublin. Even got us behind a bar to pour our own Guinness. - Ruairi was an amazing tour guide. He custom tailored our tour to meet all our requests. We learned a lot about Dublin history, and laughed the whole day. Ruairi sent us great recommendations leading up to the tour and other places we needed to visit after. He even arranged for us to pour our own pint of Guinness at a local pub. This tour was excellent.

A day with Ruairi - My wife and two friends spent an entire afternoon with Ruairi. He was informative, considerate, fun and professional. He took us through Dublin showing us sites, sounds, people and stories we would never find in a guide book or youtube video. Thanks Ruairi for giving us a memorable day.
