Highly recommend! - Donal is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable with a great sense of humour (and lots of little anecdotes)! It was lovely to have a chat with him over a pint at the end of the tour.

Great tour i will never forget :) - Perfect tour! We were the only couple booking this tour on this january day and we got a very sweet private tour :) It ended with us pouring our own pint in a pub and the bartender even showed us the basement with all the kegs and the cooling room ❤️ Donal is a very knowledgeable and funny guy and i can’t recommend this tour enough :) Also he offers a pub tour -> He really knows his way around the pubs in dublin so that is a recommendation too :)

Interesting hike in Dublin, beyond the tourist traps. - We are very pleased with our enthusiastic guide Donal, if was both knowledgeable and had a twinkle in his eye. Got both a lot of history from this local patriot and also tips on places to look closer at. Donal answered all our questions knowledgeably.

Highly recommend Donal’s tour - An interesting walk around the centre of Dublin. Donal was really informative and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Would highly recommend as we discovered areas we would never have visited. Enjoyed learning how to pull a perfect pint of Guiness too!

A great tour guide for lovely high school students - Donal was very kind. He's a lovely, cheerful and fun man. He was always very helpful to us. We could ask him anything, and he always had an answer ready. He knew how he had to talk to us. Therefore, we were able to understand what he was telling us. We believe that the tour was more engaging for everyone when he made jokes. We really enjoyed our time with him. Thank you very much, Donal. We will never forget you <3 The students of 3° A TUR, ISS Saraceno Romegialli, Morbegno (Italy) and their teacher, Ms Pellegatta

Nice hiking but the guide could have been better. - Talks a lot about people and years. Talking fast and not so clear. Much that he has been through himself and less on Dublin.
