5.00This was a very informative tour with a fun and friendly guide. It set the stage for exploring the city later on your own with recommendations from the guide while also giving a chance to see the highlights at a high level. Definitely worth the time and money.

5.00We were met by Ben at Molly Malone Statue for our private Dublin Walking tour. This was a great experience for our group of six. Ben was extremely knowledgeable of the area as well as the historical significance behind each stop. He took the time to answer our questions, point out important sites, and demonstrated his knowledge of the city. I would highly recommend this tour.
