Great Dublin Private Tour. - A great tour of Dublin city with our guide, Patrick. He really knows the city and its history. Extremely worthwhile tour. Highly recommend anyone who is interested in learning a lot about Dublin to book a half day tour with him.

Great way to start a visit! - From preplanning, through guiding, to key tips for the rest of our trip, Patrick was just great. Patrick reached out ahead of time asking questions to make sure our tour was to our liking. We arrived very early in Dublin so he agreed to meet us ahead of the set time. He gave a great overview mixing in history, culture, current events and humor. Patrick made sure we had all the tips we needed for the rest of our stay recommending restaurants, bars, and shops in Dublin and for the next legs of our trip. We would highly recommend the tour and Patrick.

Dublin city center walk-about - Our guide, Wilbur, was great. A student at Trinity College Dublin, knowledge and tailored our walk-about to things we wanted to see. He also made excellent suggestions regarding stops not on our radar.

Walking tour - I highly recommend Patrick for your tours. We learned so much, old and new history. FYI.. we got in over 14,000 steps so wear comfortable shoes.. but soooo worth it

Patrick Johnston is the best. - We got lucky with Patrick! He is fun and has a seemingly infinite knowledge and a rare ability to tailor his talk to your specific interests seamlessly. He also gave us great recommendations for restaurants, pubs and places to go even before we started the tour. If he tells you to eat somewhere… do yourself a favor and eat there.

Fun private city walk tour with Dominick - It’s a fun and rich history/ culture related city walk tour. Within less than 4 hours private tour, Dominick has so much enthusiasm about showing me the city of Dublin, and we were able to meet local artists as well. He is very friendly with his passion and experience. Highly recommended.

Unforgettable experience - Cillian gave an exceptional tour. He was knowledgeable about everywhere we walked, and showed me areas in both south and north of the city. He also showed me local food and drink places that were away from the major chains. An unforgettable experience for sure.

Excellent Tour, Paddy was great, saw so much! - We had such a lovely time on our 1/2 day tour with Paddy! He was extremely knowledgeable about the history, sports, modern culture, traditions, etc. during our tour. It rained more than was forecasted and Paddy did a great job adapting our plan to keep us comfortable and allow us to see as much as possible! We felt that we covered a lot of ground and got to see so much we wouldn’t have. We requested a mix of tourist style and local visits and got exactly that. Paddy was excellent and we’d absolutely recommend him again!

Extremely disappointed - This tour touted a local guide to take us around the town and introduce us to Dublin and Ireland by a LOCAL tour guide. Our guide, Jose Louis, may have lived in Ireland for the past 10 years, but he was definitely not a Local. We were expecting someone who was Irish and had lived in Dublin for a long time. This took a lot from the whole “Irish” experience. He was from Uruguay, and had a very heavy accent that was difficult to understand. He didn’t really have much planned, and on a cold night in Ireland it would have been nice to have a few stops where we could warm up a bit. This tour is extremely over priced. And if you are expecting someone from Ireland to be your guide, look elsewhere.
