Uncover the best of Dublin Castle the local Way

"My wife And I booked our first ever food tour. Ruairi was a fantastic guide, great stories, tips and good history as he took us around the city center area. We started off with a nice talking only pub with no tvs no bands/ music, no selfies allowed any open seat is open to anyone to sit and chat. Great atmosphere and we enjoyed the community vibe there. After that we stopped by a local meat and cheese market with unique cheeses. With stops for falafel with Irish twist. Then we stopped for sweets in an indoor market. And some famous sausages, stews, fish and chips with local history of those explained. Ending with more special and unique ice cream shop you can sample away everything you want before deciding. Ruairi was outstanding and highly recommended. We enjoyed the more personal experience together instead of a bigger of strangers like many tours. We went hungry, got full fast and still have dinner for tonight. "

"We booked the tour for 1pm on the day we flew into Dublin, because we knew we needed something to keep us alert as we waited for hotel rooms to become available. Ruairi was lovely and told terrific stories. Our favorite stops were the Dublin version of Dean and DeLuca and Murphy's ice cream (I had the sea salt flavor 3 more times during my 10-day stay). The tour is not like other tours we've experienced, which tended to be restaurant-focused, but rather more of a variety of experiences that helped us understand the Dublin food scene. And Ruairi's stories definitely kept us engaged during our first few hours in Ireland."

"We had an incredible experience with Ruairi as our tour guide in Dublin. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, sharing not just the well-known history but also fascinating insights that you wouldn’t typically find in guidebooks. The food stops were also fantastic—each one thoughtfully chosen and offering a great taste of the local scene. It was clear that a lot of care went into planning the experience. Overall, we had an amazing time and would highly recommend Ruairi to anyone looking for a more engaging and memorable way to explore Dublin"

"Jack was wonderful! Very informative and did so in a very fun and engaging way. Normal things we would have passed and had no idea of the story behind the sign or place. We had a perfectly poured Guinness and ended with a fabulous Irish coffee. We would highly recommend Jack to get the local / back ground stories."

"Eamon’s knowledge of Irish and Dublin history is so thorough that he is able to respond to any questions you ask with more detail depending on your interests. He is endlessly enthusiastic about this city. He knows all the local food recommendations and we had a great time as a group of 10 with him for Easter Sunday morning. "

"We got a fun and very formative tour of Dublin. Mydie did an ex Ellen’s job showing us around Dublin and giving us the history of the city. She showed us some “must see” places but also gave us information and recommendations to avoid the overly busy tourist areas. "

"We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with Eamon. He led us on a terrific tour around central Dublin, escorted us to a great restaurant for dinner, and left us with his expensive recommendations for our time in Dublin. He even helped us with some of the rest of our trip planning! I can happily recommend Eamon!"

"Ruairi provided the 4 of us such a wonderful time through Dublin. We were astounded at the depth of his knowledge. He made the tour an experience that we didn’t want to end. He’s the kind of person we could’ve spent all day with and enjoyed every minute of it!"
