    The Real Dublin

    ConcettaM_D, Jan 2026
    Walking through the Liberties was a highlight of our week in Dublin. Forget the 10 Tastings and similar tours. This tour by a local who also grew up in the area gave us an understanding of the real neighborhood, it's history, residents and culture. Don't think twice ~ Book the Liberties tour!

    Authentic and engaging tour

    We joined a great walking tour on a sunny Saturday afternoon with the dog and baby in tow. Our local guide was a font of knowledge in this authentic and engaging tour. We got to see Dublin and the Liberties in a new light and was a great way to spend the morning.

    Great tour

    Great Insights into Dublin's history. Fun stories, excellent host, great way introduction to the city.

    If you’re looking for authenticity, this is it!

    It was our first trip to Dublin, and we wanted to do something a bit off the beaten path to acquaint ourselves with the city. We were so happy with the decision to book this tour as our first thing after arrival. even though it was just the two of us on a Gray winter day, he easily kept the attention of an 18-year-old young man and a 56-year-old woman. Anthony’s personal experience of living in the Liberties with his family gave us an inside look of the many layers of experience he and many locals have had. We learned about the resilience of the people under various forms of oppression throughout the centuries, we learned about many funny historical characters, and Anthony had a way of touching on his perspective on weighty political topics with both candor a good sense of humor. He is an artist by trade, and one can tell from the depth and creativity he brings to this tour. My son and I through our remaining days in Dublin, chose more often to go back up to the Liberties for more experiences of “the real Dubliners” rather than the heavily visited tourist areas. We particularly treasured going back to the grotto of Our Lady at Saint Catherine’s church for quiet moments of prayer and reflection. We highly recommend this tour! Thanks so much, Anthony!

    We did the in our shoes walking tour with Anthony for Father’s Day. We are locals but felt like tourists in our own city. Another in a wealth of knowledge but keeps the tour light and funny with anecdotes and personal stories. I see the liberties in a whole new light. Would 100% recommend.

    This was an excellent tour. My guide was friendly, knowledgeable and very entertaining. I feel like I learned a lot about the area. I don’t think I would have walked through this area on my own. It was very worthwhile. Thanks Antony!
