Surprisingly Outstanding—Viking Legacy Trails is a Must-Do! - Let’s be honest… I was skeptical. How good could a walking tour really be? Five stars? Seriously?
Well, now I get it.
The reason Viking Legacy Tours has five stars is simple: passion, energy, connection, and unforgettable storytelling.
From the moment our guide started, we were hooked. Our kids were hooked (even if they were a tiny bit disappointed that Luna wasn’t with him). Somehow, he managed to engage everyone—young, old, history buff or not—by setting the stage with humor, drama, and a real sense of purpose. It wasn’t just a tour; it was a time-traveling experience.
He didn’t just recite facts—he breathed life into them, weaving in personal touches and unexpected twists that made the Viking journey feel real, raw, and even relatable. You could feel the group’s energy stay locked in, everyone inching closer just to make sure they didn’t miss a single detail or surprise.
It’s rare to find something this educational that’s also this entertaining. Honestly, we walked away smarter, more curious, and genuinely moved—and that’s not something I expected from a walking tour.
If you’re even thinking about it—go. You won’t regret it.

A Journey Through Time with Bren an unforgettable experience! - A Journey Through Time with Bren! An unforgettable experience! If you’re in Dublin and even remotely interested in history, do not miss the Viking Legacy Trails tour with Bren. He is not just a tour guide he’s a master storyteller. From the very beginning, you’re completely drawn in, as if you’re walking alongside warriors through centuries past. It’s more than a history lesson it’s an emotional, immersive experience that brings the deep, often unheard stories of Dublin’s Viking past to life. Bren’s passion, knowledge, and authenticity make you feel like you’ve traveled back in time. By the end of the tour, you don’t just leave with a deeper understanding of the city you leave having gained a new friends with his beautiful wolf Luna too! Thank you Bren! Absolutely unforgettable. 10/10

Hidden gem! - I’m surprised that this tour is not booked full months in advance. This was an entertaining, historical, and unique tour of Dublin’s medieval quarter conducted by someone who knows his stuff and who enjoys wearing 50 lbs of full Viking regalia. He was accommodating to the needs of our party, ranging in age from 10 - 74. Everyone enjoyed it and thought it was one of the best experiences we had in Dublin.

Great Guide, Fantastic Knowledge, Wonderful Experience - This was a fantastic tour with the one of the best guides I had on all the tours I went on in Dublin and around Ireland. He had so much knowledge and was very receptive to any additional questions that tour folks had. He wanted to make sure that we left the tour understanding how much Viking history and Irish History connect and build on each other. I would highly recommend if you like knowledgeable tour guides, friendly experiences (even when travelling solo!), and the in-depth development of Dublin from its historical roots to modern day. It added so much more than just walking the Medieval Quarter to see the sights. Let's go Viking!

A must for History buffs - The walking tour was very engaging , informative & entertaining. Our guide was very well informed & mostly succeeded in keeping the group engrossed through out the 3+ hours tour. We absolutely enjoyed the whole experience . The icing on the cake was when his sweet puppy Luna joined us for the later part of the walk .

Toby is best guide - If you are a descendant of Vikings you will love this tour. History comes alive courtesy of Viking in full battle dress and his half wolf Luna. Mock fight with battle ax and shield. Great fun! Learned a lot

10/10 can’t recommend enough - The tour was incredible. My girlfriend and I booked this tour while in Dublin and would highly recommend it to anyone even remotely interested.
It had something for everyone: history, comedy, a beautiful dog Luna (who really loves her belly rubs!), and of course showmanship. You can tell the tour guide prides himself on the authenticity/presentation of the tour. With so much effort gone into the outfit, the stories, and the planning of the trail itself, this tour is a real blast!
Bren is a natural storyteller, with plenty of historical knowledge as well as amusing anecdotes and quips. We cannot recommend this tour enough!
