What are people saying about Dublin

Stacey_B, Jul 2026

Excellent walking tour with David

This walking tour was the perfect way to explore the city and get acquainted with everything. David was an amazing guide- we had the best time exploring the highlights of the city with him. From learning about Trinity college (where David also attended) the Temple Bar area, and the history of Stephens Green, - 10/10 experience. The best part for us were all the whiskey recommendations and knowledge of local stores for my husband who was looking to purchase some special whiskey unique to Ireland. David also reached out to us prior to the tour and suggested meeting us at our hotel (vs preset meeting point). He was flexible and worked with our schedule and interests. Thank you David for a great afternoon!

Excellent introduction to Dublin

Gem was a wonderful and entertaining guide for our walk through Dublin. She was a great source of information and insights into the sites, the history and even how to know how to properly pour a Guinness! Thank you for a great introduction to your city.

Traditional Irish Musical Pub Crawl

Great time

We had an amazing time on the Trad Pub Crawl! It was the perfect mix of live traditional Irish music, local history, and great pubs. The musicians were incredibly talented, and the stories and historical background between stops made the experience even more interesting. We enjoyed some great beer, met friendly people, and had so much fun throughout the evening. If you’re visiting Dublin and want an authentic, entertaining night out, I highly recommend this tour!

Delicious Dublin

We thoroughly enjoyed walking through Dublin absorbing some interesting history about various sights. Sampling the recommended food was great as we tried various drinks and food and bought as little or as much as we wanted. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour.

Our tour guide was Anna...

Our tour guide was Anna and she was wonderful and engaging. Also she was able to answer any questions we had .She filled us in on the history not just at the main stops but along the way as well. We quite enjoyed the tour, seeing into the history Dublin and how it came to be. Our favorite part was St. Patricks Cathedral.

Yummmmm

Most in my group were very low energy because we had all gotten off the plane that morning. But I am on my last day in Ireland and I still think about the food on that tour. I have never enjoyed an Irish coffee but the one we had was Devine- I went back. The beef stew was the best I had on the whole trip. My biggest regret was that I didn’t wait and take that tour when I was more awake. The tour guide was fun and energetic in a way our group was not. Overall it was a fantastic- highly recommend.

Great Experience

You can add the airport pick up and return drop off and even if the drop off isn't within your 24 or 48 hours, it is still usable! Just make sure you take a screen shot of your ticket to show the driver when you want the airport return. We got to see most of Dublin and really enjoyed the commentary! Johnny Mack was hilarious!

Jody was a very friendly,...

Jody was a very friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable guide who gave an amazing summary of some history around the city. While you dont go into any sites, just being able to be led around and gain some info about the city that we never learned before was a really great way to start our trip to Ireland. We just went back to the sites we wanted to see more of afterwards with our new gained fun facts!

Annemarie_K, Mar 2026

Great introduction to Dublin!

The walking tour was a perfect way to start our Dublin visit. Alex gave us a wonderful overview of Dublin filled with history and architecture, tips for activities, and restaurant suggestions. I'm certain that we saw areas we would have missed on our own, and we definitely learned so much more about Dublin (and Ireland in general) than we could have without the tour.
