Lovely experience - Absolutely amazing, we were the only two for the tour and Tony took us through all the sights and histories. The stories told were both historical and personal, giving us a broad view of Dublin from the knowledge of a real Dubliner

Solo Traveller - What can I say, this was a great tour with a very knowledgeable tour guide, Gareth Lawless was professional, patient, and a proceeded with great humour to give me, I was the only person on the tour, a information packed 90 mins tour of O'connell street, river Liffey and Temple Bar. So hats off to Gareth, whose knowledge of Dublin was immense, telling me of all the alliterative nicknames for statues, the locals have, example the floozy in the jacuzzi.

Walkable & Enjoyable History and Folklore - John was delightful. Our walking tour was well-paced. We enjoyed the mix of history and folklore. We learned about local options for Irish art and culture while in Dublin.
