5.00Our guide, Wilbur, was great. A student at Trinity College Dublin, knowledge and tailored our walk-about to things we wanted to see. He also made excellent suggestions regarding stops not on our radar.
Extremely disappointed

1.00This tour touted a local guide to take us around the town and introduce us to Dublin and Ireland by a LOCAL tour guide. Our guide, Jose Louis, may have lived in Ireland for the past 10 years, but he was definitely not a Local. We were expecting someone who was Irish and had lived in Dublin for a long time. This took a lot from the whole “Irish” experience. He was from Uruguay, and had a very heavy accent that was difficult to understand. He didn’t really have much planned, and on a cold night in Ireland it would have been nice to have a few stops where we could warm up a bit. This tour is extremely over priced. And if you are expecting someone from Ireland to be your guide, look elsewhere.
Unforgettable experience

5.00Cillian gave an exceptional tour. He was knowledgeable about everywhere we walked, and showed me areas in both south and north of the city. He also showed me local food and drink places that were away from the major chains. An unforgettable experience for sure.
Excellent Tour, Paddy was great, saw so much!

5.00We had such a lovely time on our 1/2 day tour with Paddy! He was extremely knowledgeable about the history, sports, modern culture, traditions, etc. during our tour. It rained more than was forecasted and Paddy did a great job adapting our plan to keep us comfortable and allow us to see as much as possible! We felt that we covered a lot of ground and got to see so much we wouldn’t have. We requested a mix of tourist style and local visits and got exactly that. Paddy was excellent and we’d absolutely recommend him again!

5.00I saw so much in just a few hours. It was a good tour with some history & info on culture & current events. Cillian did a good job of tailoring it to my preferences. I enjoyed seeing Dublin.
