Tour guide in Dublin Dermot L.
I'm Dermot L., your private tour guide in Dublin
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!

This was the best tour we have ever taken. We are well travelled and have had many private tours. Dermot was amazing. We went to so many places in Dublin that are only known by a local. We covered everything we wanted to see and Dermot knew just where to park. Dermot has an expert and inside knowledge about the music scene in Dublin. He is a true gentleman and has...

Aww guys, that is so lovely!! I'm blushing here. It was so lovely to hang out with you both, with your amazing energy and your infectious joi de vivre! (I think that's right?..). San Diego is a lucky town to have you guys living there, and if I ever finally get back over that way, I'll be sure to let you know! Lots of love to a lovely couple! Dermot XXX

My family enjoyed this tour. Dermot grew up in Dublin so he knew the history of the city well and easily took us to the sites we wanted to see. He also added some places of current interest. His communications before our trip were excellent so it made it easy to select what we would tour and to find him at the airport. We recommend Dermot as a great tour guide.

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
