Hi Everyone, Cead míle fáilte (a hundred thousand welcomes) to the city of Dublin. Dublin is an amazing City with a deep history in Literature, Music, Rebellions, and not to mention our famous hospitality and Pub culture. While Dublin may have thousands of years of History and even more tales and stories to tell it is a small city and you can walk everywhere so on my tours some of the sights we will get to see and explore include but are not limited to, the General Post Office where the famous 1916 rebellion took place, Dublin Castle, Christchurch Cathedral, and Trinity College where we learn about the incredible book of Kells. I am a professional and passionate guide who has been giving tours of Dublin since 2013. I pride myself on the energy, passion and charisma I bring to all of my tours and I would love to share these attributes with you. I have given over a thousand tours of my City covering every topic you can imagine from Traditional sports, Vikings, The Famine, Independence to the recent IT boom and everything in between. So take a walk with me through the Cobbled streets of Dublin and learn about our folklore and story telling, embrace the Live music you can hear on our streets and pubs, see where U2 busk and Oscar WIlde lived, and meet Molly Malone as I share my passion of this city with you. I have a degree in Psychology, psychoanalysis and a Masters in Computer science. I have been a tour guide in Dublin for over 4 years and was captain of the Irish Chess Olympiad team in 2018. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

This 5 hour tour will take us on a circuit of Dublin City seeing both sides of the river Liffey. We will get to see most of the highlights of the city and I will give you a thorough understanding of Irish history and culture. We will take a break for Lunch or a pint of Guinness if that is your preference! I can customise this tour if necessary.
We really enjoyed our recent tour of Dublin with Carl. Not only was he knowledgeable of the city and Irish history in general, he has a great personality. This made our time with him interesting and engaging. He also took us to a small tea/lunch spot during the tour which we would have never found on our own. Another great experience with Tour By Locals. Thank you Carl!
This was one of the best tours that I have done. Carl gave us a great history of Ireland to begin, and then walked us to many sites. He was extremely knowledgable and open to changing the itinerary if we wanted. Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful , 5+ hour day with Carl! He provided a thoroughly comprehensive history of Ireland with much fun and laughter along the way. He was a wealth of information and even gave us a historical commentary regarding the sites we plan to see throughout our entire trip around the Emerald Isle! Thank you Carl for a fabulous day!
Carl knows everything, he's a Dublin patriot and an excellent storyteller. His intro to Irish history, under some provisory shelter from the rain, was memorable. We got a fantastic intro to Ireland and Dublin and a lot more.
Absolutely awesome tour. Carl is so much fun & so interesting. Very good way to get an overview of Dublin & Irish history. Could not ask for a better tour guide. Just a perfect day! Well worth the cost.
