Dublin walking tour - We did a walking tour in Dublin on the first day of our stay. Dave Kavanaugh is an excellent tour guide, both funny and knowledgeable. 10/10 experience, one of the best guides we’ve had anywhere!

Rogues Recommended - This walking tour was a brilliant experience - led by a witty, well-read, friendly and knowledgeable tour guide - Dave Kavanagh.
His rapport with his customers is second to none and his encyclopaedic knowledge of Dublin’s “Rogues” is very impressive..!
I would thoroughly recommend this walking tour to all Dublin visitors - especially when it ends in O’Donohues for a pint of “the black stuff..!” and some more “Dublin Craic”

Private walking tour of Dublin with Dave is the only way to go! - Dave was one of the friendliest, funniest and knowledgeable tour guides we had during our trip. He had so much energy and a great sense of humor. Wear comfortable shoes and get ready for a little fast-paced walking. You will be so glad you spent your time with Dave!

Best Ever Tour - Absolutely our favorite tour during our time in Dublin! Dave is a wealth of knowledge. We learned so very much about Irish history. My husband and I were so lucky to be the only two people on this tour that morning. If Dave is not a legend in his own right in Dublin, he should be. Being able to have a pint and some crisps with Dave after the tour added so much to our experience. You will not go wrong booking Dublin Rogues Tour with Dave! Delightful, informative and fun experience. Thank you Dave! Victoria and Gary Dorobiala from Colorado Springs, Colorado USA

A wonderful introduction to Dublin - Dave is a wonderful and responsive tour guide. I enjoyed the Dublin Rogues tour immensely. Not a hard walk and a visit to the charming O'Donoghue's Pub was a treat.

Oscar Wilde and much more! - David was great! One highlight was a visit to O'Donoghue's pub, where The Dubliners got their start, for a pint of Guinness. David was very knowledgeable and very accommodating. Another highlight was a brief peep into the National Museum - Archaeology to see the Broighter Boat, the Ardagh Chalice and other special treasures. Highly recommended!

Historical storytelling at its best - A really enjoyable, informative and entertaining tour in one of Dublins gem of a park surrounded by beautiful Georgian houses. Dave was very welcoming and knowledgeable and we learned so many things - a real historical journey away from the narrative of the history books. It was so nice to walk around this beautiful park and learn about the different characters immortalised within it.
We were blessed to have fantastic weather as we did our tour and it really showcased the whole area.
The tour ended with a visit to the famous O'Donoghue's bar for a pint of the black stuff.
Well worth doing if you are in Dublin.

Dave knows a thing or two about Rogues! - And politicians, poets and myths. He resurrects statues, and brings them to life. Stories of where they lived and who they loved. Often within spitting distance of their likeness. The best hour and a bit one can spend doing a short walk in a beautiful park. Don’t miss it.
