Lovely tour despite the weather - The tour was very engaging and our guide Ciaron was very knowledgeable. Despite the poor weather, we learnt a lot about Irish history and different parts of Dublin. He also gave us some great recommendations for different pubs and was able to answer everyone’s questions with ease.

Dublin up on tours!!! - We did the walking tour as soon as we landed in Dublin to get our ‘bearings’ on a new town! I am so pleased we did - Keiron was an absolutely fantastic guide and was able to answer endless questions, providing some wonderful knowledge of the city! We had booked the ‘dark days tour’ with the company for a few days into our stay before even doing this tour and now cannot wait! 10/10 recommend doing this tour, even if it’s not your first time in Dublin.

I learnt so much! - This tour was the first thing my girlfriend and I did in Dublin and there was no better way to start our time here! Ciaron grew up in Dublin and was so knowledgable, I think he had a political science degree and seemed to know absolutely everything about the historical modern and current politics in Ireland. He answered any questions we had and had great recommendations for things to do and pubs to go to for live music and to get the local experience and avoid the tourist traps. Just a few hours with him and I feel like an Irish expert myself now!

Great walk and talk! - Really interesting and informative walk with Cillian. He's a mine of information and a historical whizz. Not a minute wasted! None of the hanging around we've had with other walks. The time just flew. Thoroughly recommend, thank you.

Eccellent tour with Killian - The historical tour with Killian was excellent. He is not only well informed but presents the subject in a relatable way, using a bit of humour occasionally without trying to be a comedian. In two and a half hours he gave a great orientation, connecting the physical facts and places to resulting human history.

Great tour, 10/10! - The tour with Stephen was very fun and very informative! I would definitely do it again and can recommend it warmly! The 2.5 hours flew by and the coffee brake was perfectly timed! The recommendations are great too!
