Amazing tour and tour guide - I can’t say enough good things about Eamon—he was truly exceptional. We were amazed by how much we experienced in just one day. Not only did we walk away feeling like we saw and learned so much, but we also felt like we spent the day with a new friend. The pacing was perfect, the sites were incredible, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this tour—just be sure to ask for Eamon!

Great look at Dublin with Mark Hanratty - We experienced an outstanding tour and first look at Dublin with Mark Hanratty. He was knowledgeable about Dublin, personable, with a lot of humor and many quotes that made this tour special. We walked all over mid town Dublin and Marks insight has really helped us as we continue our visit in Dublin. Our group of four loved Marks entire presentation and we highly recommend him as the person to show you Dublin

Exceptional Private Tour with a Personal Touch - We had the pleasure of taking a private walking tour of Dublin with Eamon from Dublin Tour Guide, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Eamon was fantastic—charming, incredibly knowledgeable, and wonderfully kind. From the start, he took the time to get to know us and thoughtfully tailored the tour to our interests, which made the whole experience feel personal and engaging. His deep knowledge of Dublin’s history, culture, and hidden gems made the city come alive, and his respectful, easygoing manner made the whole day feel relaxed and enjoyable. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Fun and engaging walking tour! - Our family had an amazing experience with Mark Hanratty as our guide on a walking tour of Dublin. He walked us through many of the historic points in the city, sharing both ancient and recent history with us and telling entertaining stories about irish heritage, culture and community. Mark found a way to personally engage and connect with each and every member of our 12-person group, from age 12 to age 75, making it a memorable experience for everyone! If you plan on taking a walking tour of Dublin, I highly recommend Mark - he’s a great guide to the beautiful city!

Private walking tour of Dublin - We did a private walking tour with Kevin S and saw many key sites in Dublin. Kevin is a fantastic guide. He is personable, knowledgeable and simply fun to talk to about anything and everything Dublin/Ireland related. We had two older teens with us and they also found the tour fun and informative. We highly recommend Kevin as a guide not just in Dublin, but would use him for tours to other parts of Ireland as well. He has such an interesting background and was full of great information!

Fantastic Dublin Tour with Austin Rock - Our 3 hour tour of Dublin with Austin Rock was one of the highlights of our Ireland vacation. Austin is so knowledgeable - not only about history but also about current events and he tied the two together beautifully. He is also so friendly and warm that it was like walking around the city with a very smart friend. I would give him 10 stars if I could.

Great walking overview of Dublin - This tour was absolutely worth the price and time. My tour guide, Carl Jackson, gave me an excellent overview of Ireland and Dublin's history and made the points relevant as we waled through the city. Easy walking and wonderful sites. Carl was very knowledgable and fun to walk with. We even had a quick coffee stop at a wonderful little cafe. I highly recommend this tour as an excellent way to familiarize yourself with Dublin and get an insider's view on things to do and see.
