Great walking tour, for newbies as well as for those who used to call Dublin home. - As we used to live in Dublin, but were also travelling with friends who have never been, we wanted an "insider's" tour and not just your typical run-of-the-mill tourist intro. John contacted us prior to our booking to check what we wanted to do and most certainly hit the brief! It was an interesting tour, with lots of fun historical facts and beautiful walks along old streets. He paid attention to what we said we wanted to see and do and most certainly customised the tour to suit us. Will definitely recommend this and would request for him again, as our guide!

Life in Ireland beyond just the history - We had a great three-hour walking tour of Dublin with Aideen. Our tour had a nice combination of history, sights, and talking about life in Ireland, past and present, with a local.

John made our day! - We met John on this rainy morning for our walking tour of Dublin and he could not have been any nicer, more knowledgeable, or more accommodating! We had a wonderful time exploring the city (even while getting soaked) and enjoyed our time with him very much. In fact, we said later that it wouldn't have mattered what we saw or did as long as John was the one leading us. He is terrific and full of information, stories, and Irish hospitality. Would highly, highly recommend him to anyone looking for an insider's tour of this wonderful city!

In Dublin, Mark is your guy! - My two cousins and I went to Dublin for the first time and we were lucky enough to have Mark Hanratty as our guide. He was so knowledgable, so fun, and was a joy to walk the streets with. He was thoughtful about every aspect of the the tour and just made the whole day an absolute pleasure. When we return to Dublin, we plan on reaching out to him again! Polly S. (US)

We had a great walking... - We had a great walking tour with John around Dublin. There were so many things that were close to Temple Bar. We used this tour to get our bearings around the city as it was our first day. Our group had middle schoolers to adults. He kept the history interesting and fun for everyone...we were just a bit jet lagged as we did this immediately after getting to the hotel. He was patient with us and stopped for lunch and a beverage! Very customizable historical journey.
