Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"John who make the tour instead of my die, was an outstanding host who brought Dublin’s history and culture to life with energy, knowledge, and warmth. From iconic landmarks like Dublin Castle, Trinity College, and Christ Church Cathedral to hidden gems tucked away in small streets, every stop came with fascinating stories that made the city feel alive. What really stood out was John’s ability to personalize the tour—he adapted the route to our interests and even took us to a local eatery we would have never found on our own. His storytelling skills made the history engaging and fun, and his recommendations for other things to do in Dublin were spot-on. If you’re looking for a tour that feels both professional and genuinely local, this is the one to book. John made us feel welcome, and thanks to him, we experienced Dublin like insiders. Highly recommended! "
"We had a wonderful walking tour in Dublin! Derek was knowledgeable, engaging, and brought the city’s history and stories to life in such a fun way. The pace was perfect, and we discovered hidden spots we never would have found on our own. Highly recommend!"
"Thoroughly enjoyed our walk around Dublin with Mydie, she was informative & interesting. Highly suggest booking a tour with Mydie. "
"We had a great private tour with Ruairi. The food tastings included the Irish classics, as well as some forays into less traditional grub. His knowledge of Dublin was expansive, and he adjusted the itinerary to accommodate our curiosities and questions. He also provided a list of suggestions for us to continue exploring Dublin and the rest of the country. Thank you, Ruairi!"
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Dublin, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Dublin spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Dublin.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Dublin, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Dublin awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Dublin, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Dublin. Get ready to explore like a local!

"Ben is a very likable fellow. He knows a lot about the history of Dublin and Ireland, and told us many interesting details about different characters and places. He went out of his way to make us feel welcome and comfortable, including even a snack at a café at his cost and a parting present of traditional potato chips. We learned a lot and had a very good time!! I definitely recommend hiring him for a guided tour."
"Before our tour even began, Eamon proved himself to be warm, approachable, and exceptionally accommodating. I had shared a brief background about us, and he thoughtfully tailored the tour to match our interests and likes. His deep knowledge about history and linguistics, engaging style, and passion for his craft made the experience truly unforgettable. Thank you, Eamon, for making our first trip to Dublin extraordinary — we’ll be back, largely because of you. "
"Ben was very knowledgeable and we loved all the history. He also took great pictures and gave us a short video of the images along with references to all the places we went - a bonus we were not expecting. He also provided us great references on places to come back too. Book Ben! "
