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.
