Reviews

See our TripAdvisor reviews for proof of how exceptional this tour really is:

"We had two teens with us (12, 14). We weren’t too sure how interested they would be, not to mention they were pretty jet lagged. The moment we met our tour guide (Kevin), that all was put to ease. His friendly upbeat personality was contagious. He was knowledgeable with all our stops and had great stories to tell. Our entire family thoroughly enjoyed spending our three hours with him… Our only complaint is that we booked the three hour tour which went by so fast. We should have booked longer to seen more of the city with Kevin."

"Our Dublin experience was outstanding thanks to the extremely informative and friendly tour guide, Eamon! He was well prepared, easily guided us thru Trinity College, the Royal Exchange, Christ Church and other sights we would not have found on our own. Having only 3 days in Dublin we were thrilled to enjoy this walking tour with Eamon. Eamon is personable, met our specific requests, and kept us moving at a comfortable pace. We highly recommend touring with Eamon, you will not be disappointed!"
