They were just two of us with Ian and we had a great time walking about downtown Dublin. He was very knowledgeable on all things music, history, architecture, and had some inside stories of his growing up in Dublin. Friendly and always wanted to go the extra mile. Highly recommend..

Definitely recommend!!! Great way to start a visit to Dublin. Ed was wonderful!! He was so knowledgeable about the city and tailored the tour to our family’s interests on top of making sure he hit all the main sites. All of us, including our 3 college boys feel it was one of the best tours we have ever been on! We are so thankful to Ed for giving us a great introduction and tour of Dublin!

This is exactly the tour we were hoping for! Pasquale was knowledgeable and friendly and paced the tour appropriately. The variety of start times fit well into our trip itinerary and Pasquale was extremely communicative when I reached out with questions. I have already recommended this tour to family visiting Dublin next week.

Wonderful Tour!

Carole_W, Aug 2024
We loved our tour guide Pasquale. He was so good with my family - especially with my elderly mother (helped her with walking) and my son with autism. He explained everything on the tour to us and answered all questions. He also recommended a wonderful restaurant, Rosa Madre which was one of our favorite meals in Ireland. Thank you again for such a lovely tour and we miss you Pasquale! Love, Carole, Dan, Brandon, Spencer and Amanda.
