Pasquale was so friendly and interesting! Ask him anything! Be prepared to walk a lot so dress for the weather, but it’s not hard to walk it.

We have done a lot of tours when we travel, and this one was one of the best, if not the best experiences we have had. Andrew is an excellent guide, very personable and extremely knowledgeable about Dublin city and Irish history. His passion for it shines through which made it all the more enjoyable. Andrew encouraged questions, and adjusted for our specific interest as well. For me, our shared and common interest in music was a plus too! It made the music history portion even more fun and brought back a lot of memories. He also provided a unique perspective that you don’t usually get on larger tours. For example he provided some great observations on the Oscar Wilde statue that I would have never noticed; that and other little tidbits really made it a special tour. We also enjoyed the Pour Your Perfect Pint add-on. it was great fun and led to some really interesting conversation after the main tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for this fantastic 5-star review! We’re delighted to hear that your tour with Andrew was one of the best experiences you’ve had while travelling. His passion for Dublin, Irish history, music, and the city’s many hidden details really does make for a special experience, and it’s wonderful to know he was able to tailor the tour to your interests.
We’re also glad you enjoyed the Pour Your Perfect Pint add-on and the conversations that followed. Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback and for choosing to explore Dublin with us.

The best things about this tour were:
1) we were allowed to adjust our tour, in advance, to experience exactly what we wanted and eliminate the few things we didn't, and
2) our guide D. O'Sullivan was OUTSTANDING...friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, genuine, honest, insightful, and very, very kind.
Treat yourself to this tour.

This walking tour was the perfect way to explore the city and get acquainted with everything. David was an amazing guide- we had the best time exploring the highlights of the city with him. From learning about Trinity college (where David also attended) the Temple Bar area, and the history of Stephens Green, - 10/10 experience. The best part for us were all the whiskey recommendations and knowledge of local stores for my husband who was looking to purchase some special whiskey unique to Ireland. David also reached out to us prior to the tour and suggested meeting us at our hotel (vs preset meeting point). He was flexible and worked with our schedule and interests. Thank you David for a great afternoon!

My guide Andrew was outstanding. He exceeded expectations in every way. I was interested in Irish history, culture and must see Dublin locations. The passion he has for the area based on his Irish roots is wonderful. His knowledge is extensive, his storytelling fabulous and an unexpected delight was his singing. It transports you in time. Do not miss this opportunity to spend time with a local and broaden your knowledge of Dublin, Ireland and what're ever suits you. Highly recommend!

Pasquale, our tour guide was very flexible, adjusting the content of the tour based on our preferences before the start of the tour. As we went along the tour, he continued to adjust the plans to enable us to spend more time in those areas of interest. He also took us to some items off the beaten path. The tour was full of interesting historical references and fun anecdotes.
