Thought it might be a scam but it was excellent. Guides work on the basis that if you enjoy it, you tip them at end. We did and we did. The descriptions are a mix of the factual and the funny. It's about 3 hours and given Dublin's climate you need to dress for all weathers! More

this is a walking tour worth going on. out guide Dave was very informative and i learnt a lot about Ireland's history. but unlike some tours, this tour wasn't just a history lecture, the tour showed you a lot about the city which you wouldn't usually see, or know about. even after doing a lot of other tours (many of...

We met with our tour guide at the Dublin Spire and were accompanied by one other couple. I was surprised to see that there were few people joining us for a free tour! The guide took us by foot all around Dublin city center. We saw and leaned about: The Spire 1916 Rebellion Brendan Behan James Joyce Oscar Wilde Samuel... More

Great tour and a great way to see Dublin and get to know it from a local's perspective. Ronan was very knowledgble with a typical Irish sense of humour which made the tour both interesting and amusing. Highly recommended. More

Ronan was a terrific guide. He took us to all the places we had heard of, and many that were a surprise. He was patient with my husband's excessive picture taking, and with all my questions - and I had a lot! His knowledge of Dublin's history, and his story-telling ability informed and entertained us. We also appreciated his sense... More

An absolutely amazing walking tour of Dublin, and what better way to see the place? The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and showed us all the best places to visit. And it was for free! It was honestly great, I would highly recommend that anyone who wants to see this great city comes along to one of these tours. More
