Great tour for history buffs, very informative - We had a great tour with Daragh. Ireland has a rich history and it was a pleasure to hear him tell it. He packed a lot of information into a 2 hour tour with some fun anecdotes. The tour even went a little longer, but we didn’t mind because Daragh is a great storyteller. I would highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful guide for beautiful places - We would have passed by the places we saw on this tour without the slightest idea of what we were doing. But due to our very knowledgeable guide, we got a rich view of the history of the places. It was very pleasant and educational.

Exceptional informative tour - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend to anyone that visits Dublin. Our guide Darragh had exceptional knowledge of Irish History and told the story of the past with humour and passion. He even held the attention of our 11 year old son for the 2 hour trip. A must do tour if you are in the City for a day or more.

Best History tour in Dublin - For anyone interested in the history of Dublin, this tour is the best! My husband and I are history buffs and especially interested in the Irish war of independence and the civil war, this tour covered it all and more. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and interesting—our questions were answered and we learned a lot and truly enjoyed the experience. We took three history and music based tours and this Walking Tour with Tommy Graham is the best, really a treat for any lover of history, of Dublin, of Ireland!
