10/10 Private Walking Tour

Published on Nov, 2024

It was a great experience. I learned so much from my guide! I was able to discuss topics I wanted and focus on specific areas. Would recommend to those in small groups or even solo.

Don't miss the Book of Kells

Published on Sep, 2024

Absolutely loved the library. Very thorough and informative exhibit on the Book of Kells. To be in a place surrounded by books that old is special.

A perfect high-end tour of Dublin’s main attractions

Published on Aug, 2024

Our guide was Dave Kavanagh: I cannot praise the quality of the tour enough. Although getting the tickets has been challenging, he has managed to obtain those. We got a full detailed tour of the city, Christchurch and StPatrick’s cathedrals, Trinity college, the book of Kells and Sweney’s apothecary shop for the final touch. As we are avid readers of Joyce and are a family of academics, the tour was funny and tasteful, thorough and… well … perfect! Highly recommended, especially if you get lucky to have Dave as a tour guide. Thank you from all of us.
