The price range on Dublin tours is pretty broad, which means there’s something suitable for any budget. There are things like pub crawls and walking tours through villages along the coast near Dublin for around US$15 per person. Alternatively, you can book a private and in-depth city tour for around US$2,300, depending on group size. Many of the best-rated tours cost between US$40–100 per person.

If you’re looking for lower-priced options, self-guided tours, such as Romantic Dublin: Cupid Quest Experience, are cheaper (at around US$10 per person), but they don’t include expert commentary or entrance fees. Pricier options are typically private and led by an expert local guide. For example, the Blarney Castle and the Rock of Cashel With Private Chauffeur Tour (from US$1,338 per group) includes a personal driver to countryside sights such as Blarney Castle and the Rock of Cashel.

The list of things you’ll see on Dublin tours varies considerably, depending on the tour you book. You could see the Guinness Storehouse or Jameson Distillery, the Book of Kells at Trinity College, or St. Patrick’s Cathedral—or you could head out on an excursion to see nearby sights like the Giant’s Causeway, Cliffs of Moher, or even Northern Ireland.

Consider an all-day tour to visit as many attractions and landmarks as possible, both in Dublin and around Ireland and Northern Ireland. For example, the Dublin to Belfast Titanic, Dunluce Castle, and Giant’s Causeway Tour touches on the tragic story of the Titanic, visits Dunluce Castle (the real-life seat of House Greyjoy in Game of Thrones), and travels to the Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Dublin’s weather is at its best during the summer, making June–August the best time to visit the city. This is also the high season, so prepare for higher prices and bigger crowds, and be sure to book well ahead so the Dublin tours you want to take aren’t sold out. The weather is still relatively nice in September, so it’s an excellent month to target to avoid the peak of the tourist crowds.

If there’s a road that can be considered Dublin’s “main street,” it’s O’Connell Street. It’s one of the widest streets in the city and is generally busy with cars and pedestrians. Tourist sights along O’Connell Street include the tall Spire sculpture and the General Post Office, which figures prominently in the city’s history. Another popular street is Grafton Street, a pedestrian-only road lined with shops.
