Dave was absolutely brilliant, very friendly, answered each and every question with enthusiasm and had an abundance of knowledge. Clearly very passionate about what he does and was an excellent guide 10/10. Visited many historic spots and gave many recommendations for places to visit in Dublin.

Si buscan un tour con buena energía, con buen conocimiento y ultimada mente bien relajado, Daniela lo hace rebién! Estuvo atenta y dispuesta a responder las preguntas con honestidad y realista! Sumamente amable y lo recomiendo!!
February 18, 2024Nuestra guía fue Marina, quien supo trasmitir sus conocimientos sobre la historia y la cultura de Dublín de forma muy amena y divertida. Sobre todo me gustó que incluyera anécdotas y consejos sobre qué vale la pena y qué no visitar. Personalmente creo que hizo un trabajo estupendo y recomiendo ir con ella a hacer los tours.

Hemos hecho el free Tour con Marina y ha sido fantástico. Muy amable, muy entretenido y dinámico. Recomendable para todo visitante de Dublín. Mercii!!!!
February 17, 2024Un tour muy completo, pasas 3h super entretenidas aprendiendo muchos detalles sobre la cultura irlandesa, mientras visitas los monumentos más emblemáticos (y los diez minutillos para la guiness vienen de lujo). Además, si te toca con Marina, has tenido suerte, de las mejores guias que hemos tenido

How Does It Work?
It’s very simple. At the end of the tour, you are free to pay the guide whatever you thought the tour was worth. The guide receives no money other than tips from happy customers like you which guarantees you a top-class tour on the premise of fairness and good faith between you and your guide. Contactless payments via card machines are also facilitated on the tour.
Group Bookings
Groups of 6 or more must book at least 24 hours in advance, and are subject to a fixed rate, including a non-refundable deposit. Any group suspected of creating multiple bookings in an effort to avoid these fixed rates will not be allowed to join the tour.
