Amazing tour of Dublin and it's history with tour guide Alex! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great tour :)
Sonja_F, Mar 2026
We had an incredible time touring Dublin with Alex! He was the perfect guide—super lively, fun, and made the city's history come alive with his entertaining storytelling. He showed us all the "special spots" and hidden gems we might have missed on our own.
Doing this tour on our first day was the best decision we made. It gave us a fantastic overview of the city and helped us pinpoint exactly what we wanted to go back and explore more on our second day. If you want a fun, informative, and high-energy introduction to Dublin, Alex is your guy!
Annemarie_K, Mar 2026
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.
Chelsea_M, Mar 2026
Great introduction to the city. I took this tour first thing when I arrives, and it helped me get oriented, and learn about its history along the way!

Teresa_W, Feb 2026
Our guide Alex was so informative and showed us around some streets and important landmarks we would t have know were there. He was terrific.
Ruth_C, Feb 2026
Alex was so knowledgeable!! I learnt so much about Dublin that I didn't know. He was easy to understand and walked at a good pace. He took us to places we would not have seen on our own. Well worth the money 🙂
AlanAndrewjerome_H, Jan 2026
It was in the downtown - close to my AirBnB - so it was a great way to see the neighbourhood. Our tour guide was very enthusiastic and we learned stuff you won't get from a pamphlet. A nice walk after a long flight in.
Denise_C, Jan 2026
Highly recommend this walking tour! Alex was so knowledgeable about Irish history. We’re American and he was able to tie together Irish historical events with American events we knew more about. He was engaging and fun to be with. We toured mid January and were the only 2 people on the tour! Despite not having a full group, he gave us his full effort. Loved it. Thanks, Alex!
Katherine_R, Dec 2025
Truly enjoyed the history and getting to see some places I would not have wandered to solo. Alex did a good job of answering questions and keeping the tour moving.
Annah_O, Dec 2025
Alex ran our tour and it was the highlight of our trip. Knowledgable, friendly and funny, he guided us around parts of the city we would have missed. We were lucky that it was just us on the tour, and Alex asked us what we were interested in learning about and tailored the tour to our interests. It was true value for money and we would recommend it to anyone!
Susan_W, Nov 2025

It was very interesting to discover Dublin together with Alex and some European tourists. It was a small group. We habe seen lovely and historcal places. The noise of the traffic was incredible
It would be better to have individual Audio Guides
