Our guide, Mick, made our private walking tour of Dublin a truly memorable day. He interwove history, art, and culture in a fascinating 3 hour stroll in Dublin. He was cheerful, funny and breathtakingly informative. We experienced many beautiful and intriguing sites that many tourists in typical group tours just can't come close to. A large warm thank you to Mick for a great day !

Dara was exceptional. He has great knowledge of the city and we visited so many historical and modern venues. We came away with a better understanding of Dublin and the Irish people who live here. I would highly recommend Dara.

I couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Aurora was great. I had a problem which needed to be addressed & she went out of her way to help me. The issue was resolved with a minimum of fuss & I cannot tell you how grateful I was. Her knowledge was excellent…she covered all the things I had asked to see. I think it was a great introduction to the city of Dublin. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a private walking tour to others & would definitely do another myself if circumstances permitted. Well worth it.
