Guide #37473
I've lived in Dublin city centre and suburbs all my life, and the history of Dublin and it's stories are endlessly surprising, even to someone who lives here. Since I've started with ToursByLocals I've found it to be a lot of fun, and very rewarding to see visitors really engage with the real Dublin! These are the streets of James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, Bono, Sinead O'Connor, Arthur Guinness., (and some baddies too, like Henry the Eighth and a couple of Cromwells..) . . I take little detours when asked (which is a LOT), and I like to make sure that my friends who book onto my tours have the best of times! As a professional musician and producer I've also got some unusual insights into some of the secrets of this world, with the ocassional behind the scenes tale or two. I also have a very special relationship with Dublin's Ha'Penny Bridge, as I personally brokered the deal to make Fender Guitars in honour of Gary Moore and Phil Lynott from the bridge itself! Dublin is an old city, but it's not a museum, it's also a brand new city - this is the same throughout all of Ireland - and I enjoy showing visitors how these worlds live side by side, so you can have fun while being amazed at the same time!

Dermot was quite the storyteller! He showed my group the city of his heart, as only a true blue Dubliner can. He was flexible, and adjusted the tour, to suit the weather and the clients’ needs. Although the day was cold and it wet, he managed to turn it into a beautiful, memorable experience. Thank you, Dermot!

Thanks so much for the lovely kind words! Your group are a lovely bunch, and I had a lot of fun with them in between good old fashioned Irish rain showers (!). Such a great collection of people, and entirely my pleasure! Dermot
We had the best day seeing the highlights of Dublin! Guide Dermot Lambert was wonderful. He’s a great storyteller, fun, easygoing - yet kept us on track in order to maximize our day ashore. In addition to his Top Ten, Dermot arranged for tickets to the Book of Kells and the Guinness Storehouse. We were all super pleased with our tour.

Ah thanks so much Laura for your lovely review! It was of course my pleasure, and we might even get a new indie band together at some stage in the future judging by that very cool photo that you sent to me afterwards! Love to the gang! Dermot
This was an amazing tour by an absolutely amazing tour guide. Dermot met us on time at the port and gave us the best tour of Dublin we could have hoped for. His knowledge and love of his city and country were evident in the way he told his stories . Having a private tour we were able to customize what we wanted to see and do in Dublin which being in a larger group you are...

Thanks so much for that smashing review Troy, it was of course my pleasure to look after yourself and Helen, and of course I had to introduce you to my Ulysses friends in Sweny's shop for comparisons between Helen of Troy and Leopold Bloom's adventures in Dublin! Looking forward to your next trip to Dublin, and my best wishes for your ongoing adventures! Dermot xxx
Dermot is a great guide, very personable and knowledgeable. We felt as if we had a good feel for Dublin.
