A first class tour. James was highly knowledgeable and really brought to life the history of Dublin and Ireland. Highly recommend this tour. One of the very best city tours we’ve done in our travels. Dublin is a marvellous City and this tour works perfectly if you have just arrived. Some great recommendations from James on what else to see and do and the best pubs! Brilliant!

    2 hours well spent on Day One in Dublin

    Patrick_K, Sep 2026
    This was an excellent introductory tour to Dublin that helped in planning the following days based upon recommendations from our guide. The tour was highly informative, engaging and flexible, taking into consideration pedestrian traffic and group interests. Ian was our tour guide and he was a solid 5/5 guide who professionally mixed history, separated facts from myths, and brought along a playful sense of humor. We used this two hour tour, 2hr 45mins actually, to fight off jet lag on our arrival day in Dublin and it delivered across the board. Well done to Ian. Book this tour!

    Barry was an amazing tour guide. We learned the history and legends about a remarkable city! Would highly recommend this tour. Its a lot of bang for the buck.

    Waste of time

    Michael_R, Sep 2026
    One of the worst tours I’ve ever been on. Our guide (with 3 years experience she said) was not good. She had very superficial knowledge at best and was more concerned with her adopted political ideology. Complete waste of time
