Eamon was awesome - Eamon is enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. His love of Irish history was evident every minute of our tour, which was well organized and tailored to our requests. It was like hanging out with a friend, except the friend is an Irish history expert! Would highly recommend recommend him to anyone!

Rainy but happy! - We booked Ruairi with just a days notice! He messaged us right away that our Howth day trip would be less than ideal in the rain. On very short notice he came up with a great tour of Malahide castle. We spent the morning exploring the castle and the gardens. He taught us a ton about Irish history and answered all our questions. In the afternoon he showed us around Dublin and we ended the day with the best toastie & pint of our trip. Absolutely amazing. If you’re looking for a true Dublin tour guide Ruairi is yerman.

Great fun beautiful day - Eamon was wonderful. He was willing to pick us up at our hotel and take us to the train station. We had a wonderful day hiking with him and seeing beautiful Howth. He knows so much about history and origins of names and everything Irish. He made every moment come alive. Great day so don’t miss out and take Eamon on your next adventure.

Fantastic Day! - Eamon was a fantastic tour guide. He met our family of 5 at our Air B & B and gave us a brief walking tour of Dublin on the way to the train station. From there we took a quick train ride to the beautiful seaside village of Howth. Along the way Eamon shared his vast knowledge of the history of Ireland. Once in Howth we braved cold howling winds from Storm Dennis but that didn't dampen Eamon's spirit and the absolute beauty of the cliff walk. The day was definitley the highlight of our trip. Thank you Eamon for being such a great guide. We enjoyed your stories and your company! Hope to see you again!
