Why Choose Tours That Feel Like Yours?

Most tour guides follow rigid schedules with predetermined stops. But what if your perfect day in Ireland's capital looks completely different?

City Unscripted creates experiences that bend to fit you. Your host meets you where and when it suits you.

Want to start at Trinity College at 9am? Perfect.

Prefer coffee in Temple Bar at noon? Even better.

Your interests shape everything.

Linger at St. Patrick's Cathedral or breeze past the Guinness Storehouse. This is your day, crafted around what excites you most.

What Makes Our Experiences Different?

Generic guided tours offer a fixed schedule, predetermined stops, one-size-fits-all commentary.

City Unscripted experiences, on the other hand, are planned around your pace, your interests, and your perfect day.

Our hosts don't perform scripted presentations. When your local guide takes you to their favorite café in Dublin city, it's because they genuinely love the place. They know just where to find those 'hidden gems' that will make your stay memorable.

You start where it makes sense. Your hotel lobby, a specific attraction, or that amazing pub you've been curious about.

See Dublin's Icons Your Way

Trinity College, the Guinness Storehouse, St. Patrick's Cathedral. These top attractions define Dublin, and your host makes them feel personal rather than touristy.

Want to spend time exploring the Book of Kells? Your host shares entertaining stories about medieval Ireland.

Whether you're looking for a relaxed walking tour experience, or something more fast-paced, we have tour guides for all scenarios.

With City Unscripted, Dublin's icons fit your pace, not the other way around.

Your host knows when crowds are lighter at top attractions and which angles capture fantastic photos.

Explore Beyond the Usual Walking Tour

Dublin's tucked-away streets hold as much magic as famous landmarks. Your host knows which neighborhoods feel most alive on any given day.

Maybe it's musicians playing in a small pub off Grafton Street. Perhaps it's weekend markets where locals shop, not tourist-focused stalls.

Your host might take you to distilleries where local history comes alive through informative whiskey heritage stories.

Some hosts even know actors from Dublin's theater scene or can show you the city's darker side. These aren't standard destinations but places your host genuinely enjoys.

Tailored Dublin Day Tours & Trips from the City

Dublin serves as the perfect base for day tours across Ireland. Your host arranges trips to the Giants Causeway, dramatic Cliffs of Moher, or medieval Kilkenny.

These aren't rushed bus trips with airport transfers and fixed schedules. Each journey reflects your travel style and what you want to experience.

Visit Belfast to see top attractions with historic value and learn Irish history from someone who lived it. Explore Galway's arts scene with knowledgeable commentary.

Professional drivers ensure comfortable travel while your host provides world-class insights.

"It's less like being shown around by a guide, and more like being invited by a friend."

Your host brings lived knowledge no guidebook can match. They remember which pubs have fantastic live music on Tuesday afternoons.
