A taste of Ireland - Eamon made Dublin and Ireland’s history come to life for us. Our walk and talk was informative and entertaining and helped us understand better the Irish experience. Eamon kept in touch after we booked giving us lots of pre tour information that really helped us get the most out of our brief stay. Great communicator and story teller. Thanks Eamon!

Dublin 2 with so many Anecdotes and History!!! - Ruairi was wonderful! Met at the molly Malone statue and saw pieces of Dublin ice never seen before!! Every stone had an anecdote or story behind it, and told by a true Dubliner with immense pride for this beautiful city. Don't hesitate, book Ruairi!!!

HIGHLY Recommended, RUAIRI is Fabulous! - I wish I could give more stars! I (and my family) had an absolutely amazing time on our walking tour of Dublin with Ruairi. He is friendly, funny, and certainly has knowledge of the history (and half-truths ;) of the area -- and was more than willing to share all of that, and then some, with all of us. Ruairi is extremely personable -- we all felt like friends within a matter of minutes of meeting him. He is the ultimate representative of the folks we had hoped we would be able to meet in Ireland -- an absolute legend. Thank You Ruairi!! Our tour with you was easily a favorite part of our trip to Dublin!

Wonderful intro to Dublin - Our Dublin walk with Derek was wonderfully instructive, entertaining and very pleasant. Derek is not only knowledgeable in a wide range of topics having to do with Dublin’s history, people, society and culture, he also seems to genuinely enjoy sharing his knowledge. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide for our introduction to this remarkable city.

Great tour with Eamon! Recommended! - We had a great tour with Eamon. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about Dublin and we learnt so much alongside having a great time. We started off our two day trip with a kickstarter tour and it was a great set up for our trip, as well as being our highlight! Couldn’t recommend the tour enough. Thanks Eamon :)

Nice introduction to Dublin - We had a nice time getting oriented in central Dublin with Derek. He pointed out several interesting landmarks as well as the story behind them. We are not native english speakers, but had no problems understanding what Derek told us. It was a nice start of our trip. We're a family of four, with adult kids.
