All kinds of facts and some good laughs - Mark was fantastically interesting. He was all we could ask for in a guide. Was clearly very knowledgable about Dublin / Ireland. He made it very personalized, pivoting the conversation for every question we brought up. It was like walking around with a history and pop culture buff. He has a great sense of humor to boot. We have already recommended Mark to a couple of friends - it's a no-brainer to book mark as your tour guide.

GREAT GUIDE. INCREDIBLE KNOWLEDGE AND WONDERFUL 3 HOURS… - Kevin Sherry was a delight from the minute he entered our hotel lobby. With his engaging personality and wealth of historical and geographical information, he brought the stories of Ireland’s history to life in an engaging way. The time spent at each location was spot on and although our weather was drizzly and windy, it didn’t dampen how much we enjoyed Kevin as our guide. It would be great if we could bring him along for the remaining 12 days of our countrywide journey as we learned so much — both from a historical perspective and from his unique personal experiences and ability to relate to today’s environment….

A day in Dubkin - This was one of the best tours I have experienced in many years of travel. The pre-tour communication with Connor, our guide, was perfect. He continued to text right up to our tour time. In terms of the actual tour, Conor was informative, providing history, but also context. He was funny, and his stories brought so much of Dublin and Ireland to life. He sang songs, even bring us to tears with one called Grace. His follo- up after the tour was fantastic we now have pictures and a little pictorial video with music. A 10 plus guide!

Wonder private tour. - We had the pleasure of touring Dublin with Kevin S. Kevin was friendly and knowledgeable. Kevin was easy to talk too and this made for an enjoyable and organic experience. We hoped to learn, get a general understanding of our surroundings and finish the tour with the ability to plan more for the days to come which was all accomplished. We were very pleased with our experience and definitely recommend a personal tour with Kevin.

Excellent Tour Guide with Fabulous History and Stories - Garvan is an incredible guide. I didn't want the tour to end. He is so knowledgeable about history, stories, food, culture, jokes, songs, politics of Ireland and the world and he really brought the tour to life. Highly recommend Garvan. He customized the tour based on our interests, what we had already done and not done and based on our questions. He was energetic and funny. He's the best!
