Leo GrechOn my first day in Dublin, I decided to take this tour and I am thankful I did. Our guide was informative and friendly, not only giving us a brief history of the places we passed, but also advice on where to go and eat at next. I was able to get oriented with the city, as well as learn about Ireland and its history. I recommend this tour for any new or returning travelers.
Taylor VraneyVery happy with my great tour!
Andrew MilichExcellent walking tour with Dan. We toured the Dublin Castle, the Christ Church Cathedral, the Temple Bar District, & O’Connell Avenue. Dan was very knowledgeable & took good care of our group. We received an education on the history of Ireland from the early Vikings to Modern Contemporary culture. Dan was willing to answer all of the group’s questions & provided us with many local recommendations. Excellent introduction for our Dublin experience!
George Massey6/29/24 UPDATE: I just took this tour a second time. Alan's enthusiasm, knowledge, and humor have only increased since I too this tour a couple of years ago. Thanks for a great time!! -- Alan guided us on the Fables and Folklore tour and it was great! We walked around central Dublin, stopping at relevant places while learning about the mythology of Ireland and how it continues to inform Irish culture. Additionally we got a great feel for Dublin city through stories of real-life characters from its past. A great time! Highly recommend!
Eric FulgenziMy friend, her daughter, and I took the Mythology & Folklore tour this evening! Emily was our guide. She made sure the tour was funny, engaging, and interesting. We had a wonderful time. I’m headed back to Dublin in the fall with family and will definitely book another tour through Original Dublin.
Danielle KirraneDan was a great tour guide. He brought us throughout the city to many great spots and discussed historic facts surrounding the city.
Daniel A brilliant tour, Gemma was a great story teller and despite it pouring with rain kept the tour energetic, captivating and fun
Ashleigh Marina lo ha hecho muy bien. Le ha puesto muchas ganas a pesar de que éramos 6 gatos bajo la lluvia. Ha contestado todas nuestras preguntas y ha llenado de anécdotas el recorrido haciéndolo muy dinámico. Soy Belén con el gmail de mi hija que yo tengo hotmail. 🙂
Inkauta CriminalOttima esperienza con la compagnia di una guida (ROSS) brillante, competente e coinvolgente, che ci ha permesso di attraversare fisicamente e nei suoi miti Dublino e l’Irlanda!
Matteo FrivoliDaniela lo ha hecho genial

Leire Iparragirre¡Daniela estuvo fabulosa!
Olatz AbitDaniela mola
César MolinaFive stars because it's an original and "politically-incorrect" tour which depicts the true history of Ireland and its brave and proud people, against the foreign colonialism. My guide was Berry and he is great!
Alessandro DeHelena was a lovely tour guide for Pride and Irelands history within the LGTBQI community! Highly recommend 🙂
Stephanie CoopmanThis tour was so fun & I learned so much about the history and “personality” of the city of Dublin! Our tour guide, Alan, was absolutely fantastic- he shared so many stories & recommendations for the city. The best walking tour of a city I have ever done!
Lela SanfordA great way to get a crash-course introduction to Dublin and Ireland history with a very knowledgeable leader and a decent amount of humor thrown in too! We had a little one along and easy strolling route as well.
Jason GoldsteinMuy bien, Marina ha sido dinámica y nos a contado tanto historias como anécdotas. El tiempo ha pasado rápido. Muchas gracias
Iris MMarina ha sido una guía fantástica. Súper recomendable para visitar Dublín con muchas dosis de historia irlandesa y unos toques de humor
Alberto SacristánMuy bueno! Y Rebecca una genia! Tour super completo, divertido y con información que te da un panorama general de Dublin e Irlanda. Gracias!
