Uncover the best of Dublin Castle the local Way

"Derek was a wealth of knowledge about Dublin and Ireland and not just a spewer of factoids. He engaged at our request on a wide range of off-the-cuff topics ranging from the Irish language and attitudes towards it through the last two centuries to the teaching of Irish mythology in schools and the nature of YA fiction in Ireland today. Cheerful and accommodating describe Derek, but only insufficiently. Highly recommended!"

"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! "

"Derek was a great guide through Dublin - he was very knowledgeable about the various historical sites. He was prompt, professional and very easy to talk "

"A tour with Ruairi was a truly one of a kind experience. He was knowledgeable, funny, interesting and oh so very personable! He shared plenty of facts but also lots of stories, quips and personal bits of information. I felt like I was walking around Dublin with a friend. He even was able to spend extra time with us to show us a few additional places. It was an amazing tour and I would highly recommend Ruairi as your tour guide. "

"My husband and I had a lovely tour with Eamon. He did a great job of balancing my love of history and architecture with my husband’s love for a great pub. He was very knowledgeable, kind, funny and easy going. Highly recommend. "

"We enjoyed Eamon so much during our tour. He’s extremely knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. On top of that ,very easy to hear and is always trying to make those three hours your best of the day."
