Cillian picked us up at our hotel and took us on a walking tour in Dublin. He was a wealth of knowledge, not only about history, but also art, culture, music, food and more. He even serenaded us with a couple of his favorite Irish tunes! We are senior citizens, and he spoke loudly and clearly for us so we could understand all he was saying, , and also walked a little slower so we didn't feel rushed. He is a kind and very smart young man. I would recommend him without reservation.

Declan was such a wonderful guide, her tailored the tour around what we had not yet seen and answered all of our questions (some obscure questions!) with both knowledge and wit. We enjoyed it so much and would recommend to anyone.

We arrived in Dublin off a red eye from the US, dropped our luggage, grabbed a bite to eat and met Declan for a three hour tour. What a great way to acclimate to a new city. Declan was very knowledgeable about the city which was expected but he was a great story teller and engaged us personally at each stop and attraction. He even did some research on the fly to link our family heritage to the city and the country. The tour was a great blend of walking the city and seeing some of the great architecture and history of the area. Trinity College and the book of Kells was certainly a highlight of our visit. Declan shared some personal stories of his time when he attended Trinity. This tour was a great way to begin our time in Dublin and Declan was the perfect host.
