Deirdre was fantastic. Her energy was infectious and storytelling was compelling. Learned a lot of Irish history and saw a collection of architectural highlights. Would highly recommend this tour and her local knowledge of good food and drinks spots.

Dan was super informative & engaging, he managed to squeeze a lot of factual & historical details into the tour without it feeling like a lecture. Covered a good deal of the city’s major sites, and gave great recommendations for further activities & places to eat/drink! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dublin!!

We spent a wonderful afternoon with Deirdre seeing some of the highlights in the city of Dublin. We learned so much about Ireland and the history of the city visiting Dublin Castle, Christchurch, Temple Bar, Trinity College, the Post Office and much more. Deirdre was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information in addition to giving tips about restaurants and bars. Highly recommend
