“Book of Kells & Dublin City Highlights with Dave Kavanagh” - We had an amazing experience with Dave Kavanagh as our tour guide for the Book of Kells, Christ Church, and the heart of Dublin. Dave was funny, enthusiastic, and incredibly knowledgeable. His storytelling brought Dublin’s rich history to life and kept us completely captivated from start to finish. This tour was the perfect way to get a taste of Dublin — both its historical treasures and its unique charm. Highly recommend!

Ireland’s treasure! - Dave was our tour guide who was knowledgeable, funny and considerate. Loved going to the library and the Book of Kells exhibit.. Wish there was more time to read everything that was presented about the Book of Kells….. but that can be for another trip back to Ireland!

Excellent tour and a GREAT guide - We really had a great day and tour thanks to Dave. Great stories loaded with history and humor. He was very accommodating to everyone in the group and when we had a bit of rain he moved us to an area that was protected. He is truly an asset to your company!

Great tour with Dave! - Dave was a great guide! So informative. He actually made the tour. I’d recommend him to any group. I’m sure our whole group of about 19 people would say the same.

Great Tour with an Amazing Guide - Great tour! Our tour guide, Dave, was incredible. My 10 year old was the only kid on the tour, but Dave worked to keep him interested. He was also very knowledgeable when answering questions from the group. It was a chilly day, but a quick break for restrooms and a coffee shop halfway through the tour helped!
