Additional Information

Experience Dublin’s depth of history and culture in this fantastic and relaxed tour - a prime introduction to the city. This semi-private tour ensures a small group dynamic, with a cap of 16 participants and often less, with extra guides available when necessary (applicable from 1st April 2023). The journey embraces famous Dublin sites as well as revealing some charming secret locations too. If a balanced overview of the city core, encompassing areas on either side of the River Liffey, appeals to you, then this is the perfect tour. Beginning on Dame Street, the tour branches out through the historic areas of the Viking & Medieval Quarter, encompassing landmarks such as Dublin Castle and Christ Church Cathedral. The route then meanders via Temple Bar and across the River Liffey to the Northside City, leading to the central historic avenue, O’Connell Street. Along the way, we will pass by the General Post Office, a significant symbol of the 1916 Rising, which served as the rebel stronghold.

  • Numbers on tours will be restricted to allow for excellent physical distancing. The tour will be entirely exterrnal until deemed risk-free to enter any premises.

Extensive, informative tour. - Our guide Jim was one of the best we’ve had in the many tours we’ve done all around Europe. He’s very knowledgeable, patient & humorous in his narrations. You cover a lot of territory & points of interest, so try doing this on your first day in Dublin so you’ll be informed about the places you’ll want to go back to see in more depth on your own.

She Saved our Tour - Our original tour guide left before the specified time ...and we were there 10 min before that time as were another couple. I sent a text message to the tour guide, and Melissa Garza ( from their office) ran (literally) to the rescue and took us four on the tour. She was wonderful! So knowledgeable, and friendly, she rescued our tour for us!!

Dublin Walking Tour - The tour was very informative and included some great points of interest. The tour guide was very nice, but could have been better if louder or use of a microphone.

Decent intro, not great. - The walking tour was okay. James was a bit political. Just a few mentions of US politics, but it put us off him. Very unnecessary & annoying. Stick to Dublin history/culture please. It was a cold & windy day also, so we were happy to finish the tour and warm up back in our hotel. Otherwise, the walking bit was pretty good. I would give 3 1/2, but there are no halves permitted.
