Dave is a wonderful and responsive tour guide. I enjoyed the Dublin Rogues tour immensely. Not a hard walk and a visit to the charming O'Donoghue's Pub was a treat.

Oscar Wilde and much more!

Wesley_J, May 2022

David was great! One highlight was a visit to O'Donoghue's pub, where The Dubliners got their start, for a pint of Guinness. David was very knowledgeable and very accommodating. Another highlight was a brief peep into the National Museum - Archaeology to see the Broighter Boat, the Ardagh Chalice and other special treasures. Highly recommended!

Response from Host, May 2022

Thank you so much for your lovely review, I am so happy that you enjoyed the tour.

Thank you Dave

I have always been interested in the life of Oscar Wilde and could not miss the opportunity to learn more about this brilliant person during a short weekend break in Dublin. It did not disappoint. I now know that his mother was a great influence on his story telling ability and learnt many other details about his life. This is however much more than an Oscar Wilde experience and to learn more about famous Irishmen associated with Merrion Square Park, such as Brendan Behan, Daniel O'Connell, Gearge Russell and others was a definite bonus. The opportunity to sit in O'Donoghues Bar and carry on the conversation, over a pint of Guinness, should not be missed. Dave is very knowledgeable about these famous people and delivers in a friendly Irish manner which adds to the experience

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thanks for the lovely review Tony, it was great meeting you and having a pint and a chat afterwards.

A great summary of Irish history.

Judy_C, Mar 2022

Dave’s comment was fluent and informative. He is knowledgeable and has an amazing recall of names and dates.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Thanks Judy, glad you enjoyed the tour.

Five stars!

Most entertaining tour with a very knowledgeable local historian. We utterly enjoyed ourselves strolling around Merrion Sq and listening to our tour guide. He was full of information, historical and fun facts and was able to answer every question we posed his way. Highly recommend!
