"We had a great time getting to know Dublin with Eamon! It's one thing to read about history and quite another to stand by pillars with chunks knocked out while someone points to the spot in the river from where boats were blasting at them! In addition to history nerdery, we learned about the habits and traditions of Trinity students, the status of seagulls (I would never have guessed they're struggling based on their cheekiness), and where to find traditional music. I would definitely recommend a tour with Eamon."
"Ruairi was an immense tour guide who told us some interesting facts about Dublin and showed us some great places to go to on our trip. The communication prior to the tour was great and gave us plenty of tips about visiting the city. He made sure we were happy with the food we were going to eat and kept us laughing the whole tour.
It felt like going out with a friend which was so lovely and really made our afternoon a great one 😊"
"So glad we booked this tour for the afternoon of the day we arrived. Eamon was a fantastic guide - very engaging, fun and knowledgeable about Dublin and the history of Ireland. We learned so much! Such a great introduction to our time spent in the city. 10/10."
"Our family really enjoyed this tour and had a great time with Ruairi. Honestly, it was like spending the evening with a friend – easy conversation and lots of tidbits about history and things we were seeing along the way. He sprinkled in personal experiences and just made us feel very welcome. And, the food & drinks were great, we liked it all! 10/10."
"I booked this tour as an intro to Dublin for the first day my husband and I arrived. We were not disappointed. Ruairi was welcoming and thoughtful, with a wealth of information and amusing anecdotes. We had a fantastic experience, and I would whole-heartedly recommend booking Ruairi if you are interested in getting a flavor of Dublin from a native while having a great time. "
"Kate was a great guide for our one day in Dublin. Her background in journalism and broadcasting, experience in art, and love for the city in which she lives made for an informative and pleasant tour. She was able to speak deeply on all topics of interest. Very happy we chose her!"
"What a solid tour Eamon provided our family. He volunteered to meet us at our location to kick off a super informative tour. He was friendly, engaging and entertaining. Showed us some hidden gems indeed and gave us a great feel for life in Dublin. The next day we went back to some of the places he showed us. Great recommendations on the list he provided us as well. I’d send anyone you know that is booking a tour to Eamon. "
"Mydie was a wonderful local host! Despite it being a non-traditional booking with just me traveling solo, Mydie was fun, engaging, and knowledgeable about Dublin and the history of Ireland. She has a delightful personality and I truly enjoyed our entire three hours together! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to tour Dublin and the great eating spots for a fun few hours! "
"Mydie took us along on an exiting and highly informative trip across the Center of Dublin. With her as Tourguide we really got a great view not only of the interesting places of Dublin, but also got some insight into everyday life. She herself is an interesting person - who cares for the opinion and perspective of her group. "
