Dublin with Richard! - Our guide Richard was such a wealth of information, true historian. His guided tour took us through the most historical points of Dublin. His witty stories and history made this tour exceptionally special. The historical spots were amazing to step in but the guide made the history come alive. Thank you for a wonderful tour of Dublin Richard!

Great experience, knowledgeable guide - Our time flew by. Richard, our guide, was very knowledgeable and engaging. We received an informative overview of Dublin's history and the Dublin Castle. St Patrick's Cathedral was an interesting stop. Trinity College and the Book of Kells Experience was enlightening.

Terrible support and zero customer service. - I wish we had a story to share. Our flight was delayed coming into Dublin, we ran to the rental car, and got to St. Patrick’s park as soon as we could, we arrived 10 minutes late and despite several attempts to contact anyone to see what could be done, all we were told was “sorry, it’s your responsibility to get to the tour on time.” So no refunds, no attempt to help or make right. Next time I’ll try to ask the pilot to fly faster. We will be disputing our charge and telling everyone we know to not book with Viator.
