Viking, Dublin and walks oh my!!! - Our first visit to Dublin and Bren did an incredible job introducing us to the rich medieval history of Dublin. Bren was accommodating to the group with seniors. We totally recommend this walking tour for all ages. It was a blast!!!

Absolutely a must do, fun, entertaining and very enlightening - There is a reason this tour has all 5 stars. The tour guide Bren, appears out of a hustling and bustling Dublin crowd in full Viking gear including shield, axe, swords and face paint. People notice this Viking warrior and yes he totally has the persona and demeanor of a bad ass Viking warrior. Be prepared to be totally entertained and impressed by a man who combines passion and knowledge as well as theatrical presence into a tour that takes you back to the day of raiding marauders and Viking kings. The tour guide is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate and yet is mindful of his clients and their needs. I am a big guy and use a cane to hobble along, he frequently checked on me and explained what to expect ahead. All in all it was a fantastic experience and would highly recommend to everyone.

A BLAST in the past with the Dublin Viking! - This was an amazing tour of the Medieval Quarter. You will not find a more dedicated tour guide and if you are into Viking lore in any way, this is a treat! We met the "Dublin Viking" the night before at Celtic Nights where the music and dancing are sensational. Our often grumpy teens were 100% into the Viking tour, not a single complaint and totally engaged. You get a Master's level history lesson, some campy fun, and a leisurely walk. Disclaimer: everyone will be jealous and taking your picture along the way!

Excellent experience With Bren - The tour is a must if you go to Dublin. Bren is a fantastic guide, welcoming, helpful, professional, he has a deep knowledge of Viking and Irish history, he is an incredible storyteller, he transmits his knowledge with great passion, giving you detailed images and all his love for his work. Il tour è d'obbligo se si va a Dublino. Bren è una guida fantastica, accogliente, disponibile, professionale, ha una profonda conoscenza della storia vikinga e irlandese, è un cantastorie incredibile, trasmette le sue conoscenze con grande passione, regalandoti immagini dettagliate e tutto il suo amore per il suo lavoro.

Vikings rule! - As I have viking blood, I NEEDED to do this tour. It was the best tour ever and Bren didn't disappoint. He was so full of information and was so engaging that the 2.5 hours flew by. He pointed out so many things as we were walking and it was easy to understand what he was showing. You are able to hold the sword also. Bren was so friendly and answered any questions asked. It was a very interesting history lesson and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Dublin. Please, please do this tour. ♡
