5.00If you're thinking about this tour, just do it! I often taking walking tours when I first arrive to a new city, to get my bearings and learn a bit about the area. This has to be the best such experience I've had. Maria was a fantastic guide! She is so knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and just an excellent guide all around. She is able to customize the tour to your interests & adapt along the way! It was also an excellent value. 10/10

5.00Our guide, Cillian was very knowledgeable and gave us the Dublin highlights and history in an amazing walking tour. He and the company were very accommodating by letting us add a person to our group last minute. This tour was a great way to see key places in Dublin plus it got us well over 10,000 steps and it kept us awake after our overnight flight. We filled out a questionnaire on what we want to see on our tour, to personalize it and we got more than asked for . Thanks Cillian!
Ian is terrific guide

5.00A guided tour booked via Viator app. This is a wonderful way of experiencing Dublin city. So many places I would not have found on my own. I had the pleasure of having Dermot as my guide. His stories, singing,knowledge and tips on extra things to see was amazing. Dublin came to life.
