Edward our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. This tour is a hidden gem. We understand the history of this city so much better now. The Dublin castle and St Patrick Cathedral are amazing. I took this tour with my toddler and Edward was so patient with the both of us. He was engaging with my son which made this tour so worth it. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience on this walking tour through Dublin. Our guide, Pasquale, was outstanding. He was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly engaging. From the moment we met, he went out of his way to make sure the tour worked for everyone in our group, including a few younger kids. He struck the perfect balance between keeping things fun and accessible for them while still sharing in-depth historical insights that kept all the adults fascinated.
We visited some truly iconic sites, including St. Patrick’s Cathedral (which we got to explore inside), Christ Church Cathedral, and Dublin Castle. Each stop was brought to life with stories, context, and a genuine passion for the city’s history. Pasquale seemed to know everything about everything, and he had a great way of tailoring his commentary depending on who he was speaking to, whether it was answering a curious kid's question or diving deeper into a historical detail for the adults.
A few members of our family had a delayed flight and unfortunately couldn’t make the tour. But thanks to everything I learned from Pasquale, I found myself passing along bits of Dublin’s history to them throughout the rest of our trip. It was fun to be able to share some of the stories and context we’d picked up, it really stuck with me as well as the kids who also learned quite a bit.
The pace was relaxed but well organized, and it really felt like more than just a sightseeing tour. it was a shared experience. Everyone in our group was engaged from start to finish, and we left with a greater appreciation for Dublin’s rich and layered past. Highly recommended!

Like having a stroll around the city with a very knowledgeable friend. Ed is obviously well versed in the history and is an apt conversationalist. Time flew by.
While the focus is historical, we had a free-flowing conversation that ably tied the past to the present.
We came away with a wonderfully improved appreciation for Irish history and culture. And we've resolved that a historical walking tour is a must for future travels.
As a bonus, we ended the tour at the Easter Rising commemoration. That obviously won't occur every day, but Ed was flexible and generous to ensure we caught that special occasion on the day.
Absolutely recommend this to anyone even slightly interested in learning more about this phenomenal city.

Pasquale is an amazing tour guide! He completely tailored the tour to our group of four's interests and gave us a great taste of Dublin with loads of information on the sites we visited. He took great pictures of our group during the tour as well. He went above and beyond every step of the way and we will definitely reach out to him should we return to Dublin. 5/5 recommend.

Connor was excellent. We had done a previous tour that covered some of the spots, and he customized on the fly and made things very special. He was a wealth of knowledge, and a very pleasant chap. This tour does cover some of the same spots as the food tour and the normal city highlight tour.
