“The tour was great. The guide was insanely knowledgeable and had really great references to modern day characters to help lighten the conversation. The tour went over by 30 mins which normally I wouldn’t be mad about but it was cold that night so you could tell people wanted to be done to go get warm. The stories though were amazing and I wouldn’t 100% do this tour again.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 69 reviews · from $71

Review of Dublin’s small-group walking tour, covering Vikings, Trinity, Temple Bar, Dublin Castle, local tips, and value.

“Dermot was a great guide and very interesting. I appreciate asking us throughout the tour if there's anything we wanted to do or know. I also loved the extra little stops to get most out of the experience, you can really tell he cares to make this good experience for guests and loves his home city. If I could give you an extra star for singing I would, no matter how much time you have in dublin, a couple of hours with Dermot is time well spent.”
