This was the most fun and informative tour we have ever taken. There were 7 of us including 2 teenagers. We saw sights of Dublin that one would not ordinarily see. Our guide was fantastic with snacks, whiskey and curated music. We even saw homes of celebrities. What a great experience! Thanks Eamon.
Response from Host, Jan 2026

We had the Best time! Johnny was truly the greatest guy! He knew what we wanted and gave it to us. What a great experience!
Kathleen_T, Mar 2025
Eamoon took my husband and client on the 6 hour tour. They came back raving about the interesting stories and how friendly the guide was. He was kind enough to send photos after the visit and give us more advice on other pubs to try. Highly recommend. Thank you so much!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Hello Kathleen, thanks so much for going to the trouble of reviewing me, it’s a great help to my future guests as well as myself! It was a pleasure to show Terry and co around and hopefully sometime in the future we’ll meet again in Ireland.

I am giving the driver 5 stars for the fact that we were unable to do this excursion because our ship could not tender us in due to rough waters. I asked Viator for at least a partial refund because it was not our fault that we couldn't make the trip (there were 6 of us). Viator had the driver refund his portion of the pay which was very little compared to what we paid viator. I felt bad for the driver as he did show up and waited for us. I think Viator should have at LEAST let him keep some of his money and refund us the $600+ money that they kept for nothing! I give VIATOR ZERO stars for what they did to the poor driver.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Hi Robin,
I’m sorry we were unfortunate with the tour this time due to weather conditions at the port:
Please reach out to me directly at ChaperoneVIP if you are ever back in Dublin and I’ll take care of you.

Elaine_K, Jul 2024
What a fantastic tour! We were met by Eamonn and knew from the start we were going to have a great time. He showed us all the highlights and then some. He is very knowledgeable about Dublin and its history. He was also very accommodating to things we wanted to see.
Eamonn took us to some local pubs where we were able to sample the city's "spirits" and sing along with the locals. Be prepared for a once in a lifetime experience.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Hi Elaine, I really want to say thanks for writing such a fabulous review of your experience. I am hugely motivated by these so thanks a million!

Carl_L, Jun 2024
Our guide, Eamonn, was delightful and extremely knowledgable about Dublin and Ireland's history. As we grew to know each other, he modified his design to meet our personal interests. Seeing that we were interested in Ireland's history, he shared its many struggles from the famine in the 1800's to the political struggles of the 1970's, as we traveled to many landmarks throughout the city. He also shared places to find Irish entertainment for the evening , a bona fide Irish dinner and a number of Irish movies to put on our viewing list. To top off a wonderful day he took us to a lovely authentic Irish pub for lunch.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Hello Carl and thanks so much for the terrific review. It’s very satisfying for me that you both enjoyed the tour so much.
Thanks,
Eamonn
Christy_P, Jun 2024
We booked Eamonn for a family of six including 4 young adults (19-23) This tour has been given the title "Best tour of our entire cruise" by all. Eamonn is personable and easy to chat with - he had great stories to tell at each of the sites without leaving us feeling like we were being lectured at. We made lots of stops, but we never felt rushed. And we made it back to the ship with plenty of time. Can't say enough about what a terrific experience he provided - we will be back!
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Hi Christy, it really was a lot of fun spending the day with your family. We had lots of laughs and the day flew in. I appreciate the very nice and detailed review.
Cheers!

Our guide, Eamonn, was fun, knowledgeable, friendly, and thoughtful. His love and firsthand knowledge of Dublin are evident. He personalized the tour to my small family needs. At the end, we were all grateful for the wonderful memories in lovely Dublin.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Hi Alexander and thanks a million for the fantastic review. I very much enjoyed our day together in Dublin and we did indeed have fun and make some memories!

Vickie_I, May 2024
We had an amazing time with our tour guide. It was the perfect day. He designed the day to fit our every need and showed us so many sights in Dublin that most tourist never see. We truly felt like we got the best guide. This was definitely our best tour yet.
Response from Host, May 2024
Ah Vickie, thank you so much for that lovely review. I very much enjoyed getting to know you all over the day and we wrapped up at Scrumdiddlys for an ice cream in the Dublin sun :)

Caroline_M, May 2024
I booked this tour with Eamonn for myself and my husband and my in-laws, there were four of us total. I can strongly say that for each of the four of us, this tour stands out as the top highlight of our week in Ireland. It was all of our first times in Ireland and we wouldn't have known where to start and Eamonn gave us the perfect full day! Eamonn is a blast to spend the day with and taught us so much about Dublin and Irish culture and history in general. I had let Eamonn know ahead of time that my in-laws deal with some mobility issues and he perfectly tailored a day that would allow them to see so much while keeping them very comfortable. We loved making little stops in Dublin City, and then getting out to the beautiful town of Howth, and of course the stops at the distillery while we learned about the Irish history of liquor production. Dublin is quite sprawling so seeing a ton by car while making plenty of stops was a perfect way to do it. Eamonn kept the day interesting and fun and engaging and not to mention, when we ran into a rather large personal/travel hurdle, he went out of his way (literally) to go way above and beyond to help us resolve it and we couldn't be more thankful. 10/10 recommend a day with Eamonn! He's the GOAT.
Response from Host, May 2024
Hey Caroline, thank you so very much for such a fantastic and detailed review, I really do appreciate you going to all
that effort. I really enjoyed all of your company and it was an absolute pleasure to show you around Dublin!

Most highly recommend!! Eamon did an excellent job coordinating a day tour for our multigenerational group with varying levels of experience in Ireland. One member had limited mobility and Eamon was fabulous about getting the walker in and out of the vehicle, ensuring his safety while also providing a fun and educational experience for all! I would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends and we would hire his services again if in Ireland.
Steven_t, Apr 2024
Eamonn was an amazing tour guide! If you are visiting Dublin area and you want to see the area and learn about the history as well as see several very cool sites...he is you guy!! We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
5 stars is not enough!
Cheers !

Jason_B, Mar 2024
What a great experience. Highly recommend. You don’t need to know what to do or see, Eamonn was awesome. He knows the places to go and the history behind them. Gravediggers Pub was our favorite, 191 year old pub.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hey Jason, I’m really happy that you enjoyed the tour so much. It was my pleasure to show you around Dublin and we had some fun!

John_H, Mar 2024
Congratulations and thank you for a fantastic tour.
We had a great day and loved every minute of it.
You have an awesome knowledge of Ireland and particularly Dublin and have an excellent sense of humor.
The snow storm on the day was challenging but didn’t stop us doing the all day tour.
I highly recommend anyone to do a tour with Eamonn. You won’t be disappointed.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hey John,
Thanks so much for going to the trouble of reviewing me. Yes it certainly was an unusual start to a Dublin tour in the snow! However you guys were fantastic about it and it turned out to be a very scenic day indeed!
Cheers my friend,
Eamonn

One word. Awesome! Must do in Dublin. We saw it all. Eamonn is a great guide and will customize to what your family’s vibe is. Well done.

Hello Andrew and thanks so much for the review, I really did have a great time with your family in Dublin together. We packed in a lot and it was a fun time!

Jena_R, Nov 2023
We had a blast with Eamonn! We played some sports, got to see the deer up close as they wandered the park, and toured the city in a comfortable van while listening to plenty of Irish music. We were traveling with 5 kids and Eamonn planned something for everyone to enjoy. Highly recommend this tour and in fact any tour with Eamonn!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Hi Jena and I really appreciate you going to the trouble of this lovely review. As I always say, the best tours are a collaboration between myself and my guests and after a quick chat on the day we really had a lot of fun together in Ireland and I enjoyed keeping all the crew engaged. My absolute pleasure.

Dana_H, Aug 2023
In July my family & I decided to trust the reviews on Eamonn's tour and book him - & we are SO glad we did!
Dublin is more spread out than we were expecting. Eamonn took us on a drive through the city of Dublin and gave us a lot of history that we would not have seen or heard about otherwise, this was a great way to accomplish a lot of sightseeing in one day. Once we got through Dublin he then tailored the day to our interests - we ended up getting to see the area of Howth and also a castle which was a major highlight. We also stopped at a park where we were able to try out the sport of hurling and that was a blast! Most importantly, we had my 2 year old niece with us and Eamonn went above and beyond to make sure she was entertained and comfortable. He even made sure we had a ride after our Guinness tour, etc. A MILLION thank yous to a total stand up guy.
I would highly encourage anyone thinking about booking a tour with Eamonn to go ahead and do so!!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Hey Dana and thanks a miiiiillllion for such a wonderful and detailed review. It was so much fun with you guys and your happiness is very satisfying to me so thanks again!

Valerie_L, Jul 2023
We had the best time with Eamonn. He tailored our tour to what we were interested in and took us to great pubs and we had an amazing lunch. He took us to see some of the countryside and gave us a little history. He had so much interesting knowledge of the area. We learned things we would never have known. Do not miss out on a tour with Eamonn. He is definitely worth it!
