Patrick J. Was our personal guide for our small group. Flew in for my inlaws 50th anniversary. He made a personal touch to the trip, took us to numerous local food spots, pubs for flights, ice cream and river walk. Great experience and way to start off our visit.

Private food tour of Dublin was amazing. Our guide Jose was excellent. I loved taking the pre-tour survey and feeling like our itinerary was made just for us. We also got to make changes day of due to Jose’s flexibility. Thanks for a great time with our very short stay in Dublin! Booked and found on Viator
