This walking tour was the perfect way to explore the city with limited time while in port with a cruise ship! Pasquale was an amazing guide- we had the best time exploring the highlights of the city with him. From learning about the Temple Bar area to Trinity College, the Famine and Oscar Wilde - 10/10 experience. Highly recommend! Thank you Pasquale for a great afternoon!

He took time to point out some very good local restaurants and shopping venues that provided authentic Irish goods. The tour was very well-paced and covered many sites. We highly recommend this private tour.
