A brilliant overview of Dublin - We took a 10am free walking tour and I'm so glad we did. Tara was a brilliant guide, running through the history of Dublin, lots of the sites, plus the cheapest places to find a Guinness! We'll definitely be back to Dublin, if it wasn't our last day in the city we would have tried all of her recommendations.
We tipped at the end, and overall a brilliant two and a half hour guide!

Getting to know Dublin - Every Euro well spent with Ciaron! If you want an in-depth understanding of Ireland’s beginnings up until the present then this is the tour for you! Ireland’s struggle for independence has shaped her and now when we hear the saying “The Luck of the Irish” it will hold a new meaning for us!

Absolutely must do - This tour is a highlight of our couple of days in Dublin. Kilean has a wealth of knowledge about Dublins history, economics and culture and infuses it with the right amount of passion, humour and drama. If you won’t a deeper context to this beautiful city, I couldn’t recommend this tour enough. If we had time we’d do more.

Fabulous walking tour with Ciaran!! - We took a walking tour of Dublin with Ciaran of Unearthed Tours. This tour was the best tour we've taken. Ciaran is a born storyteller. He shared the history of Ireland and Dublin in an interesting way. We visited many sites in Dublin that we would not have seen on our own or known the significance of these sites. We highly recommend a tour with Unearthed Tours. Thank you Ciaran for a wonderful tour of Dublin.
