About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Linda M0 contributionsFantastic tour!Jose Luis provided a wonderful introduction for our visit to Dublin. He is friendly, very knowledgeable, and responded to our many questions. Over the course of the following week, we found ourselves reconnecting with many of the sights, buildings, museums and other attractions he had shown us.Written 5 October 2024
- 257tamic0 contributionsWonderful TourOur tour guide, Dave, is excellent. He has unending knowledge and stories galore. We learned a lot about Dublin and Irish history. We highly recommend him!!!Written 2 October 2024
- Robin11220 contributionsA wonderfully relaxed and informs walking tour of Dublin.We have done walking tours with this company before and would highly recommend them. Before the tour, we were sent a questionnaire asking us about our interests. Our guide, Ian, took that into consideration and designed the perfect walking tour of Dublin for us. It was relaxed and informative. We started with St. Stephen’s Green, to Trinity College, over the Liffey River to the neighborhoods in the northern part of Dublin, to Christchurch Cathedral to Dublin Castle and Gardens. Ian clearly enjoys what he does and made this a memorable experience for us.Written 14 September 2024

- carlm3430 contributionsGreat tour!Owen (not the Irish spelling!) was amazing. Local unbiased knowledge with a great explanation of the culture. We enjoyed his tour, his company, and highly recommended this tour!Written 8 September 2024
- Nomad371668003930 contributionsExcellent walking tour!My husband and I did a 4 hour walking tour of Dublin today with Dave as our guide. We highly recommend him! Dave is very knowledgeable, funny, and full of back stories about the places we visited and the people involved. He is also very flexible about what you wish to see and how much time you want to spend in each place. We never had a dull moment and highly recommend him as a guide!Written 30 August 2024
- Quest582089803710 contributionswas very informative and was a great day weather wise so we fully enjoyed it .Our experience started when a few days before the tour our tour guide Patrick contacted us asking what our expectations were . He was one of the best tour guides we've ever had . Patrick was very knowledgeable and had a great personality. We loved every minute money of our tour .Written 25 August 2024
- J8366SXdonk0 contributionsTOP NOTCH EXPERIENCEJose Luis was a great guide. Knowledgeable but did not mire us in detail if we weren’t interested in hearing more. He adjusted to what we wanted and didn’t want. He conveyed implicitly why he loves Dublin. I felt like we were getting the inside view from a new friend. If you can afford the extra cost of a personalized tour, it’s well worth it.Written 23 August 2024
- 879ellenp0 contributionsA wonderful personalized experience!Paddy was a wonderful guide for our Dublin City tour. We had a range of family members from 6 to 83 years old, and he kept it interesting for everyone. We especially appreciated his thoughtful and candid answers about his country, giving us many insights to go with the landmarks we visited.Written 18 August 2024
- Amy B0 contributionsFANTASTIC TOUR5 As I’ve said , Dave is a strong guide with his knowledge of the culture and the history and the stories of this strong people … very enjoyable and entertaining and brought us back to why we all struggle as a people and a nation …Written 23 July 2024
- texas-gb0 contributionsDublin at it's finestExcellent Guide - His knowledge, his wit, his charm, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide! I would recommend him, to everyone!Written 10 July 2024
- bwcc500 contributionsSimply SplendidWow what a way to be introduced to Ireland! The perfect blend of fun, facts and folly as only Dom the legend could do! A wonderful experience and made a solo tour magical!Written 21 June 2024
- jamessC2160YA0 contributionsAurora and Dublin are both charming!Aurora is absolutely adorable. We had such fun walking around this beautiful city with her. She is not native to Dublin but I suspect that she knows the city's history better than most natives. My wife had recently had a knee replacement and she was so sweet to point out hazards and avoid steps. She she even walked us all the way to the train station so we wouldn't get turned around. What a doll!Written 18 June 2024
- 340judyc0 contributionsUnderwhelmingUnfortunately our tour guide did not really take us on a tour. We had to ask him to take us places but were not prepared for needing to have an itinerary of our own in advance. We thought he would take us to specific places. So there was some hesitating and stalling. For example, we got to Trinity College and just stood there…tic…toc…so where should we go next, I would ask! We were told that all the books had been taken out of the long room and that was not accurate. When he showed us Dublin castle we asked to go in and it wasn’t a castle it was just a government building, and he wasn’t allowed in so we had to leave and we had paid for his ticket. Not awful but not worth the money!Written 10 June 2024
- Vacation601660047550 contributionsDublin in a day highlightsJose did a nice job sharing the highlights of our day in Dublin. Even though he was not originally from there he seemed to know a good bit about the city. It was sometimes difficult to hear him as we walked through the sites. (Only reason for a 4). Would recommend Viator for this excursion.Written 8 June 2024
