Hello and welcome! I have been leading tours of my native city for almost a decade and am at my happiest showing guests the highways and hidden byways, weaving tales from over a thousand years of history. The Vikings, Norman and Georgian periods are amongst my favourites as are the writers of this UNESCO city of literature. I have extensive guiding experience working in Cathedrals, Interpretive centres and leading walking tours. My guiding philosophy is to first inform but also entertain using a combination of factual information, anecdotes, visual aids and lots of humour, learn a little, laugh a lot! All my tours are bespoke and take into account the interests and needs of my guests. I look forward to guiding you around my city soon. I graduated with Distinction from Dublinia, a centre of Viking and Medieval studies. Among the subjects covered were Archaeology, Folklore, Local history, Irish culture and Communications. I have extensive guiding experience and have created and delivered bespoke tours to a wide spectrum of audiences. I am a member of the Independent Tour Guides of Ireland and fully insured. I am not a driver but can accompany you in a car or coach if required. Certain attractions like Dublin Castle, Kilmainham Goal have their own in-house guides, so I do not guide there but can accompany you.

We are very thankful to Liam for his excellent guide and kindness! We were cruise ship passengers and we had to wait cruise excursion passengers leaving the ship first before we took the cruise water shuttle and then we needed to take the train get to Trinity College where we met with our tour guide Liam. There was not much time left in Dublin so we were worried that we wouldn’t be able to visit the places we wanted to visit, but Liam not only showed us all the tour attractions but although hide gems which we won’t able to find on our own, he also told stories to make the visit even more fun. Before ending our tour he told us which pub has the best beer without paying tourist prices, and made sure we knew how to get to the train station. We left Dublin with great memories without any regrets, many thanks to Liam!

Liam did an excellent job guiding us on a tour of Dublin's city center. We had a very short time in the city, so we wanted a tour that would help us make the most of our time there -- Liam did not disappoint! The pacing of the tour (both how fast we were walking, and how much/how quickly he delivered the information) was perfect for us. And since ours was a private tour, he was happy to make a few modifications (e.g., starting and ending points) to help accommodate our itinerary. If we had the chance to do it all over, we definitely would choose to take a tour from Liam.

Liam gave us a delightful introduction to the history and sights of Dublin. The time passed by quickly and only later did we realize how much ground we had covered! Highly recommended!

We had a very interesting walking tour with Liam. He was knowledgeable, friendly and fun. Liam was able to customize the tour to meet our time frame and our interests. We left from the Shelbourne Hotel (a great central Dublin hotel across from the Saint Stephen's Green,) and toured all the nearby sights/sites. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and definitely recommend Liam.
