Walking Tour and Book of Kells with Seamus
Our guide, Seamus, was very accommodating to all members of our group who had various backgrounds. His knowledge of Irish history in a global context and relevant time periods was outstanding. His background in art history made the Book of Kells tour particularly informative and helpful in appreciating what we were experiencing. We enjoyed our time with Seamus very much and highly recommend his tour.

Miriam was a lovely guide. She was humorous and knowledgeable she engaged the entire group through out the tour.
It was a great tour. Make sure you verify the meeting point as we went to the wrong statue. Miriam was so knowledgeable and funny through the entire tour. If you can book a tour with Miriam you will leave with so many.important facts and also realizing it was a great day.

History, architecture, and more
Samantha was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the area which made the walk through Dublin extra special. In addition to the history of the town and its buildings, Samantha also had great recommendations for places to eat, and pubs to visit!

Book of Kells with Derrick
Derrick is amazing. His historical knowledge and his passion for history pulls you in. Wish we had started with this tour. Both my husband and I are HOH and had no issues in hearing all he shared.

We truly enjoyed our tour. Fergus was our guide and we loved him. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. He showed hidden gems along the route and even helped us get a taxi to our next adventure. 10/10 recommend!

Don't hesitate, book this tour!
This tour was great! Our guide, Richard, was very knowledgable of the sites we saw and so much more. Our favorite part was learning about the Book of Kells and The Library (amazing!). He was very accommodating and even provided recommendations on where to shop and eat. I wish we booked this tour earlier in our visit to Dublin so we could try all the places he suggested. We would highly recommend this tour!

Great Stretch of the Legs!
Lovely walking tour. Guide, Dermot, very knowledgeable and fun! The Book of Kells is a must see. The library there is extraordinary! Just returned home from our pre-Christmas trip, so if you're there in winter, dress up - it gets cold! Note that sneakers are not necessarily cobblestones best friends.
