Dublin Walking - Great tour. We didn't have much time in Dublin so this tour was perfect to get a really good idea of the city. I love these tours in all the cities, they are fun and informative and the guides are so nice.

Great Tour - Great tour! Peter was knowledgeable about not only the macabre stories from Dublin and Greater Ireland, but the general history as well. It was a new tour, and just me, but Peter was professional and offered up tidbits about the area and recommendations throughout the tour.

Absolutely amazing tour - Rob was great - I would highly recommend this tour conducted by Rob for anyone coming to Dublin! Rob is a natural storyteller with a great talent for sharing Dublins past and placing it in a modern perspective. The tour helps to contextualise different eras of Dublins history in a fresh, detailed, and easy to understand way. The tour is new and will definitely be one I’ll be recommending to friends and family

Best tours in Dublin for sure - This is my second time booking a tour with this company. I had a family with two young kids and our tour guide James was excellent! I highly recommend this tour to anyone who came to Ireland and want to actually know about the country they are visiting. If my 7 and 9 year old kids can walk through this, anyone can. James was very knowledgeable and kept us on the edge with his storytelling as well. I have paid for many other tours and they honestly cant compete with this Yellow Umbrella tour group. The guides do much more and teach you a lot more than some of the expensive tours. Save yourself and take this tour and give whatever you want in the end. I hope they never stop these tours because my family cannot wait to visit again and take another tour being offered. I literally had this tour with friends and then made my family do it because it was that good!

Amazing tour - James is the best, To that we can attest! This memorable walk through Irish History will make you laugh and maybe shed a few tears, but certainly you’ll gain knowledge through facts, perfectly presented by the guide, in all aspects - political, social, cultural and religious, which will make you not only understand, but also fall in love with the heart and soul of Ireland!
