Experience Day Trips in Dublin with Withlocals

"While waiting for train to Howth , Kate asked us what we each were looking for in the tour. My husband loves history and I enjoy architecture and gardening. Kate made sure to include those items and more. I am hearing impaired and I had no trouble hearing or understanding her. Our tour was very fun and we learned a great deal. She was very attentive and caring about us as we walked along. Before leaving at the end of the tour, she let us know about some very good restaurants in the area, which we took full advantage of. Finally, Kate invited us to text or email her with any questions for the remainder of our time in Ireland. "

"Kate was very good at tailoring the tour to our pace and interests and we ha a beautiful, informative and relaxing day."

"This was our first time using WithLocals. It was recommended to us by a co-worker who had a great experience in Isreal. This was also our first time booking private tours instead of sitting in the back of a tour bus! OMG! So much better and so worth it! We originally booked a day trip to the Cliffs of Mohr. However, communication with our tour guide, Marius, in the days prior to our arrival, we soon realized that, due to our cruise port, we would have spent 3 hours one-way in the car to see the epic cliffs and not much else. We were maily interested in seeing the beatiful scenery of Ireland. So, Maruis suggested (and created) a completely custom itinerary that crammed so many amazing places into our tour. I am so glad he suggested the alternative. We were at Powerscourt Gardens when they opened and literally had the enourmous space to ourselves. We spent time at Powerscourt Waterfall, Glendalough, Glenmackness Waterfall, Guinness Lake and picked wild blueberries in the Wiklow Mountains at the very bridge that was used in the film P.S. I Love You! Marius, thoughtfully emptied a small plastic tub of gum into a napkin so that we had something to put the blueberries in. And they were amazing on our pancakes the next morning on the ship! He took us to the Heather Wicklow Restaurant where we treated him to lunch (Best Corned Beef I've ever had). Maruis was so genuine and fun to be with that he became an instant friend that we hope to stay in contact with. We did 8 tours over the twelve days we were in the British Isles and our time with Maruis was hands-down one of our favorites! "

"Marius was great. Very friendly. Very willing to adjust things for our likes. However it is a very very long drive to get to the Cliffs ( close to 4 hours) so once there you have very little time to see anything. With only 8 hours booked for this tour your actual time at the Cliffs is very short ( 45 minutes). The scenery along the way is quite beautiful there and back. And as I said Marius was wonderful If you have but one day to leave Dublin and see something more of Ireland ask Marius to recommend a different trip unless you are really set on seeing the Cliffs "

"We wanted a day outside of Dublin and had a wonderful trip to Howth with Eamon. He met us at our hotel and started filling us in on some of the history of the buildings we were passing and of Ireland as we walked to the train station. Our time in Howth was spent mostly on the hiking trail that goes along the coastline - beautiful! Eamon is very engaging and knowledgeable and will provide the experience you want. We would highly recommend him!"

"At the last minute Marius was unable to make the day tour to the Cliffs of Moher but arranged for transport and a make-up historical walking tour of Dublin. All in all a creative solution to the unpredictable nature of travel. We were pleased to have that time with Marius as he promised to make us fall in love with Ireland. He was a font of knowledge on all things Ireland and I’m glad we found time to spend with him. I would highly recommend him as a tour guide!"

"We couldn't be happier with the day we spent on private tour with Marius. He paid attention to every detail and delivered outstanding service. Everything was tailored to our exact personal interests and we got to do and see the things we wanted to on our tour. Loved the walking trails in the area around Wicklow Mountain. Beautiful countryside and if you're looking to spend time away from the busy city, this is a wonderful experience."

"Our group had an amazing time with Marius for the cliffs of moher tour! Every second was enjoyable, and we did not want the day to end! Marius is the best guide we all have ever had while on vacation! Definitely book him for an amazing experience! "

"Eamon is enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. His love of Irish history was evident every minute of our tour, which was well organized and tailored to our requests. It was like hanging out with a friend, except the friend is an Irish history expert! Would highly recommend recommend him to anyone! "

"I wish I could give Marius a one-million star rating! He was that amazing! For our Cliffs of Moher tour, he promptly picked us up at our hotel. What my friend and I loved about Marius was that he was a font of knowledge -- a true Renaissance Man, but he didn't overwhelm you with information, either. I consider myself a history buff and he was definitely able to teach me a thing or two! We also made some terrific stops that we wouldn't have been able to had we been on a bus or big coach tour. I don't want to spoil the surprises along the way but my friend and I couldn't get over how thoughtful and insightful Marius was. It was definitely a long day -- we drove from one side of the country to another -- but we felt safe and secure in his clean, safe car with Marius at the wheel. Again, you will not regret booking with Marius. Our day with him was definitely the highlight of our vacation!!!"
