Really enjoyed our tour...

kristen_c, Aug 2025

Really enjoyed our tour with Carl. Very well versed in the history and told our kiddo ghost stories about the pubs so slightly less boring for her :) . He even went out of his way to find a glass store after learning my sister likes collecting whiskey glasses. Easy, laid back and fun and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a local feel tour.

Great tour and tour guide

Definitely recommend this tour! Our guide John was so knowledgeable and personable. We enjoyed learning all about Dublin and the Irish culture. We had a great time sitting and chatting in the pubs with John, and the highlight of the day for my husband was being able to go behind the bar at Dublin’s oldest family ran pub and pour his own Guinness.

Response from Host, May 2025

Hi Mindi, Thank you so much for the lovely review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a great time on your private walking tour of Dublin with John. He really does have a gift for bringing Irish history and culture to life in a fun, personable way. It sounds like the visit to the oldest family-run pub — and pouring your own Guinness! — was a real highlight. We’re so glad you enjoyed the relaxed, custom-made experience, and we hope to welcome you back for more sightseeing adventures on your next trip. Best regards, Jessica, Dublin Tour Guide Team
