5.00This walking tour was a brilliant experience - led by a witty, well-read, friendly and knowledgeable tour guide - Dave Kavanagh. His rapport with his customers is second to none and his encyclopaedic knowledge of Dublin’s “Rogues” is very impressive..! I would thoroughly recommend this walking tour to all Dublin visitors - especially when it ends in O’Donohues for a pint of “the black stuff..!” and some more “Dublin Craic”
Lots of history. Great way to spend some time outside walking.

5.00Dave was exceptional. The facts just flowed. Learned so much about the Irish statues in the park. Thoroughly enjoyed the walk. Merrion Square is beautiful.
Private walking tour of Dublin with Dave is the only way to go!

5.00Absolutely our favorite tour during our time in Dublin! Dave is a wealth of knowledge. We learned so very much about Irish history. My husband and I were so lucky to be the only two people on this tour that morning. If Dave is not a legend in his own right in Dublin, he should be. Being able to have a pint and some crisps with Dave after the tour added so much to our experience. You will not go wrong booking Dublin Rogues Tour with Dave! Delightful, informative and fun experience. Thank you Dave! Victoria and Gary Dorobiala from Colorado Springs, Colorado USA

5.00Dave is a wonderful and responsive tour guide. I enjoyed the Dublin Rogues tour immensely. Not a hard walk and a visit to the charming O'Donoghue's Pub was a treat.
Oscar Wilde and much more!

5.00David was great! One highlight was a visit to O'Donoghue's pub, where The Dubliners got their start, for a pint of Guinness. David was very knowledgeable and very accommodating. Another highlight was a brief peep into the National Museum - Archaeology to see the Broighter Boat, the Ardagh Chalice and other special treasures. Highly recommended!
Historical storytelling at its best

5.00A really enjoyable, informative and entertaining tour in one of Dublins gem of a park surrounded by beautiful Georgian houses. Dave was very welcoming and knowledgeable and we learned so many things - a real historical journey away from the narrative of the history books. It was so nice to walk around this beautiful park and learn about the different characters immortalised within it. We were blessed to have fantastic weather as we did our tour and it really showcased the whole area. The tour ended with a visit to the famous O'Donoghue's bar for a pint of the black stuff. Well worth doing if you are in Dublin.
