On 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.

Excellent 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!
July 2, 20246/29/24 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!
July 2, 2024My 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.

This 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!
