A Private Walk to Get to Know the City
Overview of your Dublin tour

Choose a selection from O'Connell St and the GPO (HQ of the 1916 rebellion, 2016 is the centenary), Trinity College (Book of Kells), Christ Church & St Patricks Cathedrals (Door of Reconciliation and much much more), the iconic Halfpenny Bridge, buzzing Temple Bar, the beautiful landscaping of historic St Stephens Green, Guinness Storehouse (Ireland's no 1 tourist attraction), Viking Dublin and Dublin Castle among many more! I am a born and bred Dubliner and I have been roaming these historic street for 60 years.

See where the Vikings first landed and created a town settlement and where the Anglo Normans developed the port.
Your Dublin tour itinerary
This tour is designed to fit with guests requirements for a centre city tour. I will bring folks to all of the essential sites in the city as far as that is possible within the timeframe. The idea is to familiarise guests with all of these sites. - You will be picked up from your cruise ship or hotel or a venue suitable to you in Dublin and dropped back at the end to your chosen venue. - In between you will be driven all around the city (and outside it if required) and you will be shown all the essential sites to visit. There may be time to do one or two of the internal sites like the Book of Kells at Trinity College or any of the many other attractions. I can bring you on my own personal tour of St Patrick's Cathedral, Irelands national cathedral. In the Phoenix Park, the largest walled park in Europe, I can bring you to see wild deer in their natural habitat. Also in the park is the Pope's Cross where Pope John Paul II said Mass in front of a million people. Customization possible.
