  I genuinely cannot recommend this experience enough. Ciaran is truly a gem of a human. He is kind, hilarious, and so easy going. He is genuinely an absolute joy to be around. In addition to how lovely of a person he is, his style and taste are absolutely impeccable. He took us to incredible vintage shops and restaurants that we would have never found on our own. He has really put in the work to find the best places that offer vintage clothing, local artisan items, and delicious food and drinks. My husband and I had such a blast spending the afternoon with Ciaran and we found our favorite items we bought during our two week trip to Ireland entirely because of him. What also struck me was the relationships Ciaran has built with the shop and restaurant owners that he brings his guests to. They know him and everyone seems to love him, and it is no secret why. Because we loved our time with him too and felt we got so much more than our money’s worth. If you’re on the fence wondering if this tour is worth it, I can absolutely assure you that it is. And if you love vintage clothing, supporting local businesses, and spending time with a quirky, fun, and funny tour guide that really has his finger on the pulse of the Temple Bar neighborhood, you really shouldn’t miss out on this experience, because you won’t find another like it.

  What an absolutely wonderful experience! The Retro Vintage Tour was an absolute delight from start to finish. Ciaran was incredibly pleasant, engaging, and personable — I truly feel like I’ve made a friend for life. His stories, deep knowledge of Dublin, and impeccable taste in food and wine made the day unforgettable. The sausage pastry was honestly the best I’ve ever had! Ciaran went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable, entertained, and fully immersed in the experience. A perfect blend of history, charm, and good company — I couldn’t recommend this tour more highly!

• Ciaran was a wonderful guide! Not your cookie-cutter history tour!

  Have some extra time in Dublin, but not sure what to do with it? Do you love shopping for Vintage? Do you want a more local experience of the city? Then this is the tour for you. You will hit shops that span pretty much each decade and some spots with items by local artisans, as well as upcycled items (think earrings from old vinyl records). There is something for everyone. Ciaran was a wonderful guide and picked up on my tastes immediately. He is personable but also gives you your space to shop. I did not feel forced to purchase during the tour but did find some great pieces for myself and my mom to bring back. Most of the shops also have special discounts for those on the tour. Ciaran also threw in some facts and pointed out interesting areas along our route (shout out to the Cranberries and U2). If you do not see anything that jumps out at you to purchase, the tour includes some food and beverage stops. If you are leaving empty handed you will at least not leave with an empty stomach. I had what I can only describe as the best Irish Coffee I have ever had, a sausage roll, traditional cake, a cheese and wine/ beer stop at the end of the tour. If you have looked at this tour more than once, just book it. You will have a great time.

  The Vintage Shopping tour was one of the highlights of my time in Dublin. Ciaran was a very enthusiastic guide. He knows all of the shop owners first hand & I was surprised that each offered a 10% - 15% discount. If shopping isn't your thing, then the stops for Irish coffee & a sweet, a savory sausage/croissant or wine & cheese sampler will not disappoint. Do not even think twice about booking this tour. Ciaran will keep you smiling, laughing & learning while you shop!

Highway recommend the tour!

  We had an amazing time on the vintage tour with Ciaran! He was a fantastic guide—friendly, fun, and passionate about vintage fashion. The tour took us to five wonderful vintage stores, each with its own unique charm and style. We found so many treasures, from classic pieces to quirky, one-of-a-kind items. Both of us came home with great finds, and it was exciting to explore places we might not have discovered on our own. We also had a delicious meal during the tour, which made the whole experience even more special. It was the perfect mix of shopping, fun, and great company. Highly recommended for anyone who loves vintage fashion or just wants to spend a memorable day in the city!
