A perfect tour to learn about The Liberties - We did a bespoke tour and it was AMAZING. Adrienne was a great guide, she clearly loves the city and its history. I learned so much while having a nice stroll through the Liberties.

A learning Sunday walk - A fantastic tour of a section of my native city called the Liberties hosted by a lady named Adrienne who was a first class guide. Her in-depth knowledge of the history of the Liberties spanning centuries is extensive and very impressive as is her knowledge of contemporary Liberties. I thoroughly recommend anyone interested in the Liberties area of Dublin to do this tour. They will not be disappointed. ☘️

A working class Gotham! - A whistle-stop tour through one of Dublin’s less-celebrated districts, brought to life with great skill and enthusiasm by the wonderful and well-read guide, Adrienne (aka Ado). Hidden squares, colorful characters and a slice of Dublin combine to provide a very enjoyable 2 hours!

Authentic and engaging tour - We joined a great walking tour on a sunny Saturday afternoon with the dog and baby in tow. Our local guide was a font of knowledge in this authentic and engaging tour. We got to see Dublin and the Liberties in a new light and was a great way to spend the morning.

Authentic, friendly and informative - Adrienne was kind enough to hold the tour open for me, despite nobody else booking. Having the opportunity to experience the real Dublin around the liberties was such a privilege. Adrienne’s knowledge of the areas history, but also contemporary issues that affect its residents was outstanding, and she was a such friendly companion. I’d walk straight past the Temple Bar crowds and do this tour instead any day of the week.

Liberties walking tour - We recently took a tour of The Liberties. Adrienne was our guide. We learned so much about the history and explored parts of Dublin we never knew. Adrienne is so knowledgeable. Would do this tour again. Highly recommended.

Fascinating tour of the past, present, & future of the Liberties - Adrienne led us on a wonderful tour of the Liberties. Although I have lived in the Liberties for over a year, I learned many new things about the area (both past and present). I would happily recommend this tour to anyone curious to learn more about one of Dublin’s most interesting neighbourhoods. Thank you Adrienne!

Excellent! - We went as a group as a work event (a bunch of doctors) and I was really pleasantly surprised! It was super enjoyable and actually really interesting! Even though I'm a Dublin native, there was loads of fascinating local history that I was not aware of until I went on this tour. Adrienne was our tour guide and was very warm, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the history she was imparting on us. I would definitely recommend!

A Liberties lark - A brisk tour around the lively heart of old Dublin. The Liberties is a part of the city often overlooked by tourists and even Dubliners. That's a shame as it's been central to Dublin's story since the first viking longboat landed. We heard about Guinness, Jonathan Swift, murderous madames and frisky fenians, tuggers and hairy lemons ( don't worry, all will be explained!) Adrienne (aka Aido) was friendly and smart. Like all the In Our Shoes guides, she has local connections. This meant she was both knowledgeable about the areas troubled past and hopeful for its future. Recommended. A Harte
