I’m Cathal, a private guide and professional actor, offering story-led walking tours that bring Dublin to life. I’ve spent over a decade guiding visitors through this city, sharing its history, culture, and stories with people from all over the world. Born in Dublin and raised in rural County Kerry, I grew up in a world where storytelling was part of everyday life—tales of emigration, rebellion, landlords, fairies, and ghosts. When I later returned to Dublin for university, it felt like stepping onto the stage where so many of those stories had unfolded. My background includes Philosophy, Archaeology, and German. Having spent time living in Germany, I speak conversational German and am happy to welcome German-speaking guests. I also work professionally as an actor. That naturally shapes the way I guide. I bring the city to life through story, atmosphere, and lively conversation. My tours are relaxed, engaging, and personal. Whether it’s your first time in Dublin or you want to go deeper, I aim to help you experience the city with humour, insight, and a real sense of adventure. Dublin has a story around every corner, and I’d be delighted to share it with you. Cathal

    We had a very good time. Cathal was very knowledgeable and extremely personable. We covered a lot of territory in our 4 hours, and would be happy to tour with him again when we return to Dublin.

    The tour was very informative and interesting. Cahal was a great guide and I highly recommend him to others. He even sang some of the traditional Gaelic songs for us and made our experience extra special. Thanks Cahal!

    Cathal made our time in Dublin the absolute Hugh point of our time in the city. We feel that we received a friend more than we did a guide. Highly recommended 🙂
