Easy to find start of the tour, music complimented the tour and was tailored to the people doing it. Family of four with two children 11 and 13 and we all enjoyed it and learnt a lot, exploring parts and areas we wouldn’t have found on our own.
Very friendly and informative and fun. Good pace.

Thank you so much for the review. It was a pleasure to share the tour with all of you. You are amazing parents with two very relaxed and engaged boys. Hope you guessed the oldest and newest building in Trinity. I came away from the tour buoyed up from your energy and good humour. Enjoy the rest of your holiday.

Excellent tour
Kathleen_C, Jul 2024
We had a wonderful guide who made the experience so charming. This is a good tour to take at the beginning of your stay in Dublin. You get acquainted with the city and you see the areas you want to explore more. Excellent tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Kathleen,
Thank you for the very nice review and it was a pleasure to meet you both. You booked the tour so long ago that it was like finally meeting a long lost cousin. And of course, you looked so Irish. I warmed as you came towards me. Facinating to hear how your family had come to America pre the Great Hunger of 1845/7. So happy that you enjoyed the tour. Enjoy the remaining days, safe home and see you when you bring your grandchildren to Dublin.
Warm regards
Damian
Great overview of city center

Just right
Marci_D, May 2024
Great tour with Damian our guide. His historical knowledge along with him playing kept us engaged and entertained. We weren’t looking for an all day tour and this was just the right amount of time to see some important sights. His kindness in showing us on our way back to our hotel was much appreciated and certainly not expected.

Best overall Dublin tour
Sofia_C, Feb 2024
I had a great time walking through Dublin on this tour! The guide was extremely informative and engaging; I learned a lot of Irish history and the stories behind so many of the buildings. Walking through some of the shopping centers and parks was beautiful. Very thorough and super friendly!!

Your comments are so important to me. I'm glad the style of tour was engaging. I love telling the stories behind the stories.
See you when you return to Dublin

Excellent tour!
Rachel_B, Aug 2023
We were the tour of envy walking around Dublin! Damian thoughtfully corresponded music to the sights which I and bystanders could join in and enjoy. It was a blast, and I definitely recommend this tour to get to know Dublin! Thank you Damian!
Absolutely perfect tour!
Dorian_N, Aug 2023
Coordinated this tour last minute for my family due to an unexpected Dublin layover. Loved the musical interludes and ability to customize to fit our timing/interests.
We had an absolute blast and I'd highly recommend to others.
