Latest reviews from our guests

    We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Declan. He chose very interesting places to show us, and his knowledge of the city and history is quite extensive. He made us feel so comfortable from the start, like friends taking a walk together as he talked about Dublin and Ireland. We would definitely recommend booking your Dublin experience with Declan.

    After the booking with City Unscripted we received a questionnaire regarding our preferences. Shortly after completion we received the credentials of our guide. We immediately we had very good communication with José Luis to plan our journey. He picked us up at Pearse Station to start our tour. First he guided us through the modern part of Dublin. Then we took the bus to the old city where we did an intense walking tour. We enjoyed lunch together in a nice pub (Stags Head). We continued to other neighbourhoods (e.g. Temple Bar) and visited the Book of Kells Experience at Trinity College together with the old library. This is a must see. We bought tickets in advance as José Luis advised us. He was very well prepared and had a lot of pictures on his tablet to show us during the walk.
