Description

Come with me on a tour of Dublin’s most famous sights, where I will tell you all about the history hidden within the walls of Dublin’s majestic buildings. The history, the culture, the architecture, the people, Dublin has it all. And who better to guide you around this wonderful city than a Dublin native.

From the Vikings who first founded the City of Dublin, to the might of the British Empire, which ruled over the City for centuries, to the War of Independence, Dublin has a fascinating and turbulent history.

While it can be overwhelming to decide what to see and do on your trip to Dublin, especially if time is in short supply, I will guide you to all of Dublin’s most famous sights. I have a huge passion for the history of my City, and I guarantee you will leave my tour with a new appreciation and understanding of Dublin, its history, and its people.

I know all the best spots, including authentic local pubs frequented only by residents, amazing restaurants, and even some tranquil spots where you can chill for a few minutes to take a break from the frenetic nature of the City, which I am happy to share.

Fantastic walking tour of Dublin

My husband and I truly enjoyed learning about the history, the landmarks, and the culture of Dublin. The tour was given by Karl. He made it all interesting in a smooth manner and fun “side stories” to go along with each spot we visited.

Review of a great local guide

Enthusiastic guide. Guides you swiftly through the history of the city and the country, and the significance of buildings, statues, stories.. Don’t hesitate to ask additional questions as Hugh had to limit his story to 2h15 but would be able to keep you on his lips for 24h.
