    Great street art

    Keith_L, Apr 2026
    Wonderful background on street art and good selection of examples. Right amount of walking. Definitely a tour to do.

    Discover a different side of Dublin

    Harmony_M, Jun 2025
    Street art walking tours are one of my favorite ways to learn about the culture, social concerns, and styles of expression of a community when I travel. Liam was an exceptional guide! Clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about not only graffiti as an art form, but the pieces that he showed on the tour. I particularly appreciated the additional context of the pieces and backgrounds of the artists that he introduced me to. If you’re looking for a way to explore a different side of Dublin, I highly recommend this tour!

    Definitely worthwhile

    Margaret_H, Jun 2025
    Excellent use of my precious Dublin time - Liam did a wonderful job sharing details I’d never have known just walking around & looking at street art on my own. The backstory took it to another level; a great way to learn more about Ireland’s history & current cultural environment. Absolutely worthwhile. Honestly, it should be more expensive for what you learn (tipping the guide is a “must” for such an info-packed tour!).

    Liam was a lovely guide, made sure we all were able to hear him while getting great photos. He was very knowledgeable, and we quite enjoyed each of the pieces we stopped to see.

    Wonderful art intro to Dublin and guides

    Millie_T, Jan 2024
    I found this to be a wonderful introduction to the arts in Dublin. Liam and Cleeta (?) were knowledgeable and marvelous guides. Great experience! I was able to also get follow-on recommendations for other art venues.

    Interesting and Enjoyable!

    Mary_W, Sep 2023
    Wonderful, enthusiastic walking tour host. We had the good fortune of a warm, sunny day. The meet up location was easy to find, and the walk was easy. Tour host had great stories and knowledge.

    Thanks for the great review! We're glad you enjoyed our tour:)

    Naoimi_G, Jul 2023
    Peadar was a wonderful tour guide - I would highly recommend this tour. I will be doing it again in a year as there will be additional pieces.

    Response from Host, Jul 2023

    Thank you for the review, I'll be sure to let Peadar know how well he was received. Yes, doing the tour again is worthwhile, as street art is a temporary artform and new pieces are always emerging. Remember we also do walking tours in Dublin True Crime, Legends, Ghosts & Ghouls and more! We also run a variety of art workshops in our Temple Bar studio This Must Be The Place, and Drink & Draw Events in bars across the city every weekend! If you're ever in need of something entertaining, look us up and your sorted!

    Enthusiastic

    Meet up instructions were clear. Connor was engaging, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable. Great guide and would do the tour again.

    Response from Host, Jul 2023

    Thanks for the review! You guys were a pleasure to have with me:) The Street Art Tour is definitely worth another visit in time as many new murals and tags appear on our city walls every month. We also do walking tours on True Crime and Legends, Ghosts & Ghouls every week should it be of interest. We also run many art workshops at our art studio every week - a great place to hang with friends while doing creative activities. More info at thismustbetheplacedublin.com Drink & Draw is a weekly Friday & Saturday event we hold in bars across the city - fun, games, and beautiful works of art are guaranteed! More info and tickets at drinkanddraw.ie Thanks again, we'd love to see you back with us at some point! Conor:)

    A quirky must do Dublin tour

    sandra_w, May 2023
    The tour completely surpassed my expectations. I learnt so much & saw art I’d previously walked past without noticing. The mural with the fish & the bottle completely blew my mind. A really well structured tour with a good balance of different stops plus 2 visits to related premises. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable & passionate about his subject.

    Response from Host, Jul 2023

    Hi Sandra, thanks so much for your review! The Street Art Tour is definitely worth a second visit over time - as lots of new art is always being added to the city walls. We also run weekly tours on True Crime and Legends, Ghosts & Ghouls! This Must Be The Place is our art studio in Temple Bar - we hold weekly workshops on Tote Bag Painting, Clay and Coffee, and more! More info at thismustbetheplacedublin.com Thanks again and we hope to see you in the future!

    Sean_R, Feb 2022
    Eoin was an excellent guide and really brought the stories behind the artworks to life with his knowledge and enthusiasm. We were even lucky enough to serendipitously meet one of the artists responsible for murals on icon alley and the spoken word poet whose work inspired him. Even got an impromptu recital. Overall an excellent experience and well worth doing.

    Exceptionnel !

    sylvie_P, Feb 2025
    Notre expérience a été fabuleuse. Liam nous a fait découvrir l'histoire, la ville, les différents styles de street art et les motivations des artistes. Une autre façon d'appréhender la culture d'une nation et d'une grande ville. Nous recommandons vivement cette expérience avec lui.

    Very nice

    Carmen_F, Jan 2024
    Der Guide war sehr nett, hatte viel historisches Wissen zum Thema Street Art. Es war toll, aber man könnte ein bisschen mehr sehen in der Zeit

    Lohnt sich sehr!

    Stefanie_M, Oct 2023
    Eine sehr schöne und inspirierende Tour mit toller Führung. An vielen Orten wäre man sonst einfach vorbei gelaufen.

    Response from Host, Nov 2023

    Danke fuer die nette Bewertung, wir sind froh dass es dir gefallen hat!

    Tempel Bar Graffiti Tour im Abseits

    Meike_H, Feb 2022
    Super Tour, wir konnten ganz viele Graffitis entdecken und die Geschichte dazu hören. Wenn die Tour auch in Deutsch angeboten wird ist Sie noch besser. Mein Englisch ist nicht soo gut. Der Irische Slang hat mich manchmal überfordert.
