    Informative and passionate

    "Derek guided us to many of Dublins more historical places and informed us of the many interesting events that have taken place here over the years. This was exactly what we were looking for and Derek’s deep knowledge of the social history of Dublin and its people were presented in an engaging way promoting many discussions back and forth between us. Both of us enjoyed the time we spent with Derek and we both learned a lot. "

    Wonderful private tour

    "We had a great tour with Ruairi! He took us to a lot interesting corners of Dublin and shared some great stories along the way. And introduced us to some true Dubliners to share their stories as well. Super tour guide - highly recommended!"

    Brendan the Bard

    "We spent a bit over 2 hours walking and talking through the streets of Dublin with Brendan. We hit it off so well that we just chatted for about 20 minutes at our meeting spot. He gave us some lovely personal observations as well as historical and literary references as we saw the old parts of town. He has quite a wealth of stories and kept us well entertained."

    Great experience with Eamom

    "We had a fantastic walking tour with Eamom. His rendition of Molly Malone was a perfect introduction to Dublin. He brought the city’s history to life at Trinity College, shared fascinating architectural stories, and concluded with the captivating story of Oscar Wilde. Knowledgeable, entertaining, and passionate, Eamom made discovering Dublin unforgettable—highly recommended! "

    Generous and friendly

    "We are staying in Dublin for a month and wanted to hire someone to give us a two hour orientation to the city, Not the usual tourist thing. We asked for Mydie because of the reviews, but Withlocals initially proposed a ridiculous fee. Mydie helped us pare that back to something passable, but still a lot for two hours of someone's time; the price-value rating has nothing to do with her. She drove us around for 2 hours teaching us the ins and outs of the city and the various neighborhoods we might like to spend time in. At the end she offered to go out one evening and have a beer. I'm looking forward to that."

    Great Dublin Walking Tour with Mydie!

    "We had an absolute blast on our tour of Dublin! Mydie, our wonderful guide, was incredibly friendly, warm, and open from the very beginning. The tour was a 3-hour walking experience with well-timed breaks at key sights along the way. Mydie was amazingly accommodating to our wishes, she tailored the route to include a great stop for Fish & Chips and a relaxing break in the park. Beyond her great hosting, she shared a wealth of fascinating historical facts and insights about Dublin and Ireland. I highly recommend booking a tour with Mydie! Just a quick tip for future travelers: you should be reasonably fit and comfortable walking. Thank you so much, Mydie! It was truly wonderful exploring Dublin with you! All the best from your Austrian Group 🇦🇹 "

    Dublin came alive through his stories

    "My husband and I took Ruairi's walking tour, and I can't recommend it highly enough. What I loved most was how he brought Dublin's history to life — not with dates and facts recited from a script, but through real stories, many of them his own. He's lived this city, and it comes through in everything he shares. He has a wonderful gift for making history feel personal. Every street and building had a story behind it, and he told them like he was letting you in on something, not delivering a tour. My husband is the music fan in our family and got plenty out of that side of things, but even if you have no particular interest in the music scene, there is so much here for you — the history, the neighborhoods, the character of the city itself. He also took genuine care of us — restaurant recommendations, tips for the rest of our stay — and by the end we felt completely at ease in Dublin. If you want to understand this city, not just see it, take his tour. Five stars. "

    Review about Ruairi

    "We did a walking tour in Dublin with Ruairí today and it was the perfect way to start our trip to Ireland. Apart from giving the most amazing, informative, and entertaining tour, Ruairí was so accommodating (our flight was terribly delayed and we needed to start late). I would highly recommend that anyone wanting to tour around Dublin do so with Ruairí."

    "Jack is one of the best tour guides you could have in Dublin! He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made exploring the city such a fun experience. He shared fascinating stories about Dublin’s history and culture while keeping the tour entertaining and engaging. Jack was also great at answering questions and making everyone feel welcome.
