My husband and I spent a lovely 4 hours with Patrick. After 5 days of touring through Ireland, we came to Dublin with very little plans. Patrick is the perfect tour guide - communicates well, particularly in advance, and gave us a wonderful tour of Dublin. We saw some amazing sights and the pacing was perfect. We lucked out with beautiful weather the whole time, so it was even more awesome. If you book with Patrick, you won’t regret it! 5 stars all the way.
