Dublin in 3 hours!

Elizabeth_Q, Oct 2023

Eammon was our guide and he was outstanding!!! We toured Trinity College, temple Square, Grafton Street and the Guinness Factory. We jumped off of the plane from JFK and right into the tour. He kept us moving and interested! I highly recommend!

Awesome Tour with Eamon

dana_r, Aug 2023

We loved our tour! Eamon was the BEST! He was knowledgeable, kind, funny and patient and engaging with our 3 kids (aged 8, 10 and 10). He tailored the tour for us, stopped at much needed ice cream, and gave us a lovely introduction to the history of Dublin. He’s awesome and you should book him! Thanks Eamon!

Dublín on foot

Jose_A, Jul 2023

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took us out for 3 hours and we got to know Dublin. He also send us recommendations via email. Great idea

Request Rauri as your tour guide

Peter_D, Jun 2023

Rauri() was a great guide. Lots of great stories about the places that we visited and more besides. Aligned our tour with our available time. With 7 years of international travel, he was the best guide ever.

Great way to see Dublin in 3 hours

Stephen_W, Jun 2023

Derek was an excellent guide whose political and historical knowledge was outstanding. Highly recommend this tour.

No show

Norma_P, Jun 2023

The tour guide did not show and did not answer texts, emails or phone calls. Ruined our first day in Dublin.

Eamon The Great

Maria_J, Apr 2023

Eamon our local Dublin walking tour guide was excellent. He was so informative and the love for his city shown through. The walking was easy and he took us to many hidden gems. Our first time in Dublin, Eamon gave us so much historical information and insight. He even sent us a spreadsheet of some local pubs and restaurants he liked. Wish we could rate Eamon higher than 5!

Fun for the family in Dublin!

Katie_C, Jan 2023

Brendan was an excellent guide. We were traveling with young children, and he tailored the entire day to their little legs and interests. We learned so much, had a fun time, and were so grateful for his introduction to Dublin for us. Highly recommend!

Little Big Town

Tristan_M, Oct 2022

Eamon was pleasant and insightful. There is way too much to see in Dublin but we felt like we got to see and hear about the highlights.

Best tour of Dublin!

Jennifer_M, Aug 2022

Keelan was an incredible tour guide! Extremely knowledgeable of the area, pointed out a lot of hidden treasures and told history we would have missed completely had we walked around on our own. We saw so much in just 3 hours and got great recommendations on where to get food and drinks. Be prepared to walk!

Excellent knowledgeable tour guide

jocelyn_t, Jul 2022

This insiders tour of Dublin was great! Our tour guide was intelligent, interesting and funny. Highly recommended

Great Dublin experience with Keelan.

Donna_D, Jul 2022

Our guide Keelan was fantastic. Knowledgeable, friendly, flexible. He made the whole experience great. Really taught us a lot about the history and character of Dublin.

Excellent guide! Young...

Joan_G, Jul 2022

Excellent guide! Young man, who grew up in Dublin and added personal anecdotes to his extensive historic knowledge.

Fantastic tour

jamie_f, Jul 2022

Keelan was super knowledgeable, friendly, and informative. We learned a lot and saw a lot - a much richer experience than on our own. Additionally his personal anecdotes brought an even more interesting touch to our day. 5 stars for sure!

Derek was an excellent...

allan_k, Jun 2022

Derek was an excellent informative guide with in depth knowledge and humorous additional tales. He will provide a valuable addition to your Dublin experience.

Walking taste of Dublin!

Emily_I, Jun 2022

Eamon was great to work with. We communicated several times prior to tour and he was very helpful. Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history. Provided us with a list of restaurants and pubs. Went with us to an authentic Irish pub. Tons of fun. Went above and beyond to meet our needs THANK YOU, EAMON!

Tart with the Cart

ccogan3, Jun 2022

Keelan was an Irish gem! So knowledgeable of the sites and history. Very accommodating to our group:) Would recommend to people wanting to see Dublin by foot. Well worth it!

Private walking tour of Dublin with Kellan!

anaglephd, Jun 2022

Kellan was fantastic - professional, knowledgeable and easy to be with. A perfect ambassador for Ireland! We really enjoyed seeing all the main sites in Dublin and learning the country’s history but also LOVED the “off the beaten path” tour and commentary. The complimentary ice cream at Murphy’s was a nice touch, as well! I would recommend Kellan highly. A++

Local flare beats a tour book any day !

David_G, Jun 2022

Keelan was an amazing tour guide. Even in the rain, a great experience. Not just “seeing the sights”. Learned so many things I literally would have just walked right over if I was wondering around alone. A true lover of Irish history, his knowledge was entertaining and greatly appreciated !

Last minute cancellation by local guide

HOC_D, Apr 2022

Last minute cancellation by local guide who worked with Viator, so not entirely Viator’s fault. No alternative guide or option were provided to us; we had to search elsewhere on our own for Dublin local tour. I would hesitate to use Viator again as there’s no guarantee that your local tour may happen if your guide happens to cancel last minute.
