Historical Dublin walking tour experience on our own doorstep! - What a great experience! Donal provided us with a wonderful, witty and thoroughly enjoyable historical experience of Dublin. As a family we have done many historical walking tours abroad over the years but this one is on our own doorstep and I and so happy we experienced it.

Much seen, much learned. With joy! - It was very informative. Our guide Donal was perfect for us. He knew everything and transported a lot of knowledge in an understandable and entertaining way. He was very nice and we could end up, thanks to his mediation, even in a traditional Irish pub our Guinnes ourselves. A nice, round day! Thank you Donal!

Best Irish tour guide - The tour we got off Donal was fun and entertaining. Donal took us through the streets of Dublin and graced us with information even us(an Irish group) didn’t even know. There wasn’t a face during the tour that wasn’t locked into what he was. I would highly recommend anyone whether from Ireland or not to join Donal on a tour.

Wonderful tour and so personable - Went with family but became friends! Donal was an amazing tour guide to start our week in Dublin. He also gave us great recommendations for places to go later. During the tour he was extremely impressive with a wonderful memory to recite songs and important documents. This was a really memorable tour.

Great walking tour - Donal was an enthusiastic tour guide who gave a great narration during our walking tour. He was funny too. We appreciated his commentary and he even recited some poetry. He gave his personal opinions of pubs and other places to visit. Based on his suggestion we went to O’Neill’s pub for lunch (amazing cottage pie!) and toured the Jeanie Johnston ship (well done and interesting). I’d recommend Donal’s tour to anyone who wants an authentic walking tour of Dublin.

Excellent walking tour with history and humor - Donal gave a fantastic walking tour around Dublin. He is definitely passionate about his city and culture and has a great sense of humor too! He presented historical information in an interesting way and even better-he’s just an all around nice human being! He knows the city and shared his recommendations on pubs and restaurants as well as those to avoid. We loved his commentary and would recommend the tour to anyone! Oh and we went to O’Neill’s Pub for lunch and did a tour of the Jeanie Johnston ship. Thanks for the suggestions-both were excellent.
