Our first pub is one of only two pubs in the Temple Bar area that aren't full of tourists. A great traditional Irish music pub with an impressive beer and whiskey selection, and great staff to boot! If you haven't dined, this first stop is a great place to have a meal. Just tell us in advance so we can reserve a table!

5.00Conor our guide was absolutely wonderful. He brought Dublin to life for us with his knowledge, rich in history, stories, songs and kind demeanor. We loved how he told us about different names, cultural themes and beautiful songs and stories that made Dublin so much more interesting and beautiful for us. Thank you Conor for your passion and love of all things Irish. ☘️

Fantastic tour of Dublin with Mark

5.00It's our first trip to Ireland for my wife and I so we decided to tour privately. Our first stop, Dublin. We had arranged a walking tour so that we could see as much as possible hoping to get a brief history of the city. We met our guide Mark on a beautiful sunny morning and set off. He is a witty guy who can make all of the history and stories interesting and memorable. I would absolutely recommend a private tour for yourself or small group and if you have the option ask for Mark, he'll give you a great overview and history of the city while making it very entertaining at the same time.
Wonderful Days in Dublin

5.00Kevin S was fantastic, we had such a great time with him. A wonderful balance of interesting history, architecture, culture and historical perspectives, current relevance but at a good pace. We walked through central Dublin visiting the Book of Kells exhibit, Dublin Castle, Trinity College, City Hall, the Parliament House, etc. - Kevin provided the history as well as the relevance at the time and the current day perspectives. We also discussed unrelated topics to the visited areas such as the current Irish economy, cultural and politics. Throughout our days with Kevin, we would take a timeout and have a pint at a local spot and continue our conversation. Kevin was fantastic, we would rate him higher than five stars if we could.!

5.00Our guide Carl took our group on an excellent tour of some Dublin pubs! We really enjoyed these venues and later visited several of them again. He shared a lot of local history throughout the evening and even recited a few humorous limericks! We had a great time and highly recommend this tour.
