Latest reviews from our guests

My guide was Jose Luis and he had me fill out a questionnaire as to what I wanted to get out of the tour. He really read it and took me everywhere I wanted to go and more! He had a really good tour set up and we walked around for a long time. He was knowledgeable and really nice. He took me to photo worthy places and didn't complain when I had to change batteries in my camera. He was patient and kind. He really did a lot of research for my tour!

Excellent experience before, during and after this tour. Please ask for Dominick when possible. Not only Dominick Pio manages (from City unscripted) to follow up on special things (such as our dietary requirements, expected sightseeing, cultural expectancy) prior in advance (a week), but also manage to get us in to the Real Dublin historical and cultural experience. We did manage to visit places with local comfort food, that you’ll remember your families, as the classic and Iconic best fish and chip at a local famous place. He also provided us some additional hints (additional sightseeing, restaurant, historical location to visit, etc.) to be used during our stay in Dublin. Look for him, you will not regrate.
