Highlights

Trinity College Dublin - Visiting the campus. To see the Old Library and Book of Kells, please book our 5-hour tour ‘(Nearly!) All of Dublin in 5 hours’. Campus access is restricted to groups of 8 or fewer unless tickets for the Old Library are purchased in advance (these are Trinity’s rules).
Temple Bar - While this tour focuses on more offbeat traditional pubs, we will pass by Temple Bar – the heart of Dublin’s nightlife. Wander the cobbled streets of the famous Temple Bar area. Your guide will reveal the real local spots (street art, bohemian shops) and hidden gems in this overly touristy area.
Dublin Castle - We will explore the grounds of Dublin Castle (upper and lower courtyards, Chapel Royal, Dubh Linn Gardens) without entering any interiors, which can only be accessed through an official Dublin Castle tour.
Christ Church Cathedral - Along with St Patrick’s Cathedral, Christ Church is a stunning example of Dublin’s medieval religious architecture. We’ll be visiting the exterior only.
Ha’penny Bridge - Snap a picture of your group at Dublin’s most iconic river crossing! Cross the famous Ha’Penny Bridge, one of Dublin’s landmarks. Look up the river towards the Guinness Brewery (you might catch the aroma of hops boiling) or down the river towards the Custom House and the modern Docklands area. Or simply stop to observe the lovers’ locks.
City Hall - A key location of the 1916 Easter Rising and an example of Dublin’s 18th-century architecture.

Book this Tour! - DON'T MISS A TOUR WITH GARVAN DURING YOUR STAY IN DUBLIN! We had an amazing day with Garvan, it was one of the highlights of our three weeks in Ireland! Garvan is truly a scholar and shared is knowledge and passion for the city and the country with so much passion and enjoyment he kept our 13 year old son engaged and excited to hear more throughout the day. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the city but got so much out of sitting down in the pub and learning more from Garvan while enjoying some amazing food and drink! Upon learning we were visiting Donegal he gave us insight and fun suggestions for that area as well. Would HIGHLY recommend a day in Dublin with Garvan! We thank him for helping us make a special memory as a family!
