I am a qualified tour guide with over 12 years' experience in the tourism industry. I have been guiding for private walking tours for a number of years! I have a degree in European Studies and German from Ireland's most prestigious university, Trinity College Dublin and I am particularly interested in the history, politics, literature, art, and architecture of Dublin. For me a good tour guide should lay the groundwork for a positive and interesting experience of a city for visitors. I structure my tours in an informal way so that you get to see Dublin through local eyes: I'll give you a good introduction to the history and culture of Dublin, as well as give you restaurant and shopping tips. As a mum with three kids I'll also give you an insight into the life of a typical Dublin family! I hold the 'Dublin City and Environs' tour guide badge and I am listed on the Fáilte Ireland (the National Tourism Development Authority) Directory of Industry qualified guides. I am also a member of the Approved Tourist Guides of Ireland (ATGI), a professional organisation of tour guides in Ireland. I have a degree in European Studies and German from Trinity College Dublin and I have a Masters in Translation Studies from Dublin City University (DCU). I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Dublin tour

First time visiting Dublin and you are on a tight schedule? Not sure what sights to visit and how to fit them into your visit? Why not kick off your tour of Dublin with a two hour walking tour that will give you an overview of the key sights of the city! I am an experienced, qualified guide who is a native Dubliner and I understand the needs of first time visitors that arrive in this wonderful city! I will walk you through the key areas of Dublin, where we will pass by some of the most famous sights (Trinity College Dublin, the Georgian Squares, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Temple Bar and beyond) so that you can decide what places you'd like to revisit in your own time! I will also provide you with insider tips about the best shopping areas, pubs and restaurants and give you an idea of what life is like for the ordinary Dubliner!
