Nicola was fantastic! Gave our group of four an intimate look at Dublin, seeing all the key sites while learing the history. She was knowledgeable and good humored. Would highly recommend Nicola.

My name is Nicola and I'm a Dubliner. I'm passionate about my city and love to show travelers the Dublin I love. What I enjoy is sharing the plentiful stories that the layers of Dublin's history offer, as well as an insight into the Dublin I live in today, a thriving capital on the edge of Europe that somehow still manages to hold on to its local charm. The neighborhoods within the city are packed full of independent cafés, restaurants, and pubs, and taking travelers on their own journey of discovery through the city is what I like to do most. I'm proud of our Irish writers both past and present and enjoy a good conversation with travellers who like to read too. I see the city from the point of view of an art lover and find that statues and other public artworks are a perfect springboard from which to tell a good story about our city. I am a qualified Irish National Tour guide I have a Degree in history, politics and classical studies from UCD and also a Masters Degree in Art in the Contemporary World from the Irish National College of Art and Design I speak Spanish fluently I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experiences I do not have the special license required in Ireland to drive tourists in a car, van or bus.

Ann S.United States

Ignacio F.Mexico
We made a walking tour with Nicola, she is a very kind person and a great guide to visit Dublin. She also can speak or guide you in spanish because she lived in Barcelona, you only need to ask her in advance, so she can prepare the tour to do it in spanish. I highly recommend Nicola if you are visiting Dublin

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour, Nicola couldn't be more timely, knowledgeable and friendly. I felt like I've known her forever! I got a great introduction to Dublin and Ireland's history and culture. It was a very good use of my time.
Your Dublin tour itinerary
This tour starts at the front entrance of Trinity College ( because it's gorgeous! ) It then goes towards the river Liffey and over the river at O'Connell bridge to the 'northside'. Here you will amble down Dublin's widest street and see some important monuments such as the GPO and the 'Liberator' Mr. Daniel O'Connell. Then walking up-river towards Dublin's most-photographed bridge The Ha'penny Bridge and cross the river once again to the 'southside'. The medieval Dublin vibe is found in Temple Bar. We will walk through this vibrant zone and on to the impressive City Hall. Next is, 'Dubh Linn' gardens, walking through the grounds of Dublin Castle to get there. Near the Grafton street area, it will be time to take a short break, a coffee or something stronger like an excellent pint of Guinness , depending on the time of day. Refreshed we head off again towards Stephen's green and all that it has to offer and finish up in the Grafton street zone of the city
