Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I had an absolutely fantastic day with Patrick exploring Dublin! Patrick is an amazing storyteller and told us so many little things about Dublin I would never have learnt otherwise. His knowledge of the history of Dublin and its sights is amazing, but it still felt like exploring the city with a friend from beginning to end. We laughed so much throughout the 4 hour tour and had great fun.
The tour is fantastic value for money. I would recommend taking Patrick’s tour on your first day in Dublin - he gave so many recommendations for places to go that I’m not sure I can fit them all in in the time I have left!

PAT PAT PAT! He makes the 3+ hours fly with his quirky subversive humour and his engaging delivery. He has a hugely impressive knowledge of Dublin City and Ireland as a whole, both current and historic. I couldn't recommend it more. Our group was made up of an Israeli, a South African, a French-Canadian, an Irish-Canadian and an Irish-Canadian living in Ireland with a wide age demographic and Pat made sure we were all included and no one was left out. We laughed so much. It was the best tourist experience I've had

So pleased we booked this tour. Patrick brings the city to life with his humorous stories and infectious lust for Irish culture.. We have done a few walking tours in various cities around the world, and this one is truly special and unique. Great value for money and you will get to visit places and meet locals that you would not usually do on other tours. Don't hesitate to book

Patrick is a fantastic guide! We enjoyed touring the city though a local’s point of view, paired with humor. He’s great at bringing strangers together and is receptive to answering any questions. Patrick gave great suggestions about where the locals shop and eat. We ended the tour with a fun game and some good, honest conversation about the real Ireland.

Okay, this was dope AF! I was a bit worried at first because there were only two of us (to be fair, I was late to the first two meet-ups, but Pat was cool and kept in communication with me and was very accommodating to still meet with me). Pat is knowledgeable about his city, and I enjoyed his commentary!
During the tour, we stopped at a local pharmacy (I think). I found myself reading a few lines from 'Ulysses' with several other travelers taking shots of Irish whiskey and singing 'Cockles and Muscles'; I swear you can't make this up. It was the most random and awesome experience I have ever had!
Thanks Pat!!

Patrick is a fantastic tour guide. He is funny, genuinely cares about people having a good time on his tour and is passionate about sharing stories about Ireland. The tour will bring you to interesting places in town, some you wouldn't find on my own, and is very entertaining and full of surprises. I highly recommend joining his tour.

You do not want to miss this walking tour. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Pat is hilarious and really gives you the full Irish experience. He knows so much about history and culture while keeping things fun and entertaining. He brings you around to cook spots you you probably wouldn’t have known to checkout yourself and tells you where you can get an authentic experience rather than just sit at bars with tourists. Thanks for making our trip, Pat! He makes the whole group build rapport with each other as well and you get to meet people from all over!

Patrick led a very unique and interesting tour of "secret" sites in Dublin. We weren't sure what to expect and were pleasantly surprised at how much fun this tour ended up being. Even with the first two hours in the rain and wind, we still managed to enjoy his stories and see a different side of Dublin. The small group of 6 made it much more personal. Stopped at several different placs that you typically would not see on a regular city tour and also spent some time at Trinity College which was really nice. Thanks for a great afternoon!

Unique and informative guide through fun and unexpected locations / venues within the city of Dublin
Aug 2022 • Family
Patrick was an absolute delight - could not have asked for a better shepherd to guide us to some of the coolest and unexpected locales within the city of Dublin. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the informative and educational dialogue and while I am no teetotaler it was nice to explore the area with my wife and son from a perspective that didn’t focus on breweries, distilleries and pubs.
We were able to see and get a feel for many different areas and experience some fun surprises that were both welcome and unique. Highly recommend, and we will certainly reach out to Patrick for a part two the next time we visit this beautiful and vibrant city!

I enjoyed it highly, we were a group of 15 people: coming from America, France, Colombia, Argentina and locals. It was about history gems none of us knew about. At the same time Patrick is concerned about building connection with the group, so it is a great piece of entertainment, brilliant time we 've spent walking along Dublin streets getting to know it a little bit better. A tour that is unique. None of the well-known boring ones. Thanks Patrick for a great experience letting us know your city!!!
