An engaging walk in Dublin - My sister and I booked a private walking tour of Dublin. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it far exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide, Mark, made the tour so much fun. It felt like seeing the sights with a friend. We had such an amazing time. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you Mark for sharing the history of Ireland with us!

Wonderfully informative - We had a wonderful time with Colm Hogan, seeing the Book of Kels and Trinity College, as well as other great parts of Dublin. Colm was exceptionally knowledgeable of the history and significance of what we saw. I highly recommend this experience.

Ask for John Caffrey! 🍀 - John Caffrey was our walking tour guide. We were greeted with a warm welcome which set the tone for a wonderful morning. John gathered us at our hotel and within minutes was engaging us in wonderful conversation about the history of Dublin. He was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He was friendly, fun and made our 3 hour walking tour very memorable. We would highly recommend John to anyone coming into the city for a great tour of Dublin. Reach out and ask for John Caffrey. 🍀

Great walking tour, for newbies as well as for those who used to call Dublin home. - As we used to live in Dublin, but were also travelling with friends who have never been, we wanted an "insider's" tour and not just your typical run-of-the-mill tourist intro. John contacted us prior to our booking to check what we wanted to do and most certainly hit the brief! It was an interesting tour, with lots of fun historical facts and beautiful walks along old streets. He paid attention to what we said we wanted to see and do and most certainly customised the tour to suit us. Will definitely recommend this and would request for him again, as our guide!

Life in Ireland beyond just the history - We had a great three-hour walking tour of Dublin with Aideen. Our tour had a nice combination of history, sights, and talking about life in Ireland, past and present, with a local.

John made our day! - We met John on this rainy morning for our walking tour of Dublin and he could not have been any nicer, more knowledgeable, or more accommodating! We had a wonderful time exploring the city (even while getting soaked) and enjoyed our time with him very much. In fact, we said later that it wouldn't have mattered what we saw or did as long as John was the one leading us. He is terrific and full of information, stories, and Irish hospitality. Would highly, highly recommend him to anyone looking for an insider's tour of this wonderful city!

We had a great walking... - We had a great walking tour with John around Dublin. There were so many things that were close to Temple Bar. We used this tour to get our bearings around the city as it was our first day. Our group had middle schoolers to adults. He kept the history interesting and fun for everyone...we were just a bit jet lagged as we did this immediately after getting to the hotel. He was patient with us and stopped for lunch and a beverage! Very customizable historical journey.
