(WALKING TOURS ONLY) Hi folks, I'm Fergal, it means "bright man" in Irish Let's see! Born and bred in Dublin, for over a decade I've been lucky enough to guide people around home town. I love to be able to stroll through the city and take in whatever that day's offerings are. I rarely take larger groups now as I guess I prefer a style of guiding that is more based on a chat rather than a lecture. No matter where you are from, I hope that to some extent I will be able to draw comparison between the way we do things here and the way it's done in your neck of the woods. It's incredibly important to me that my guests get an accurate and unbiased account of Ireland's history, culture and politics to name but a few, albeit given from a personal viewpoint. It's equally important to me that you enjoy your time in Dublin. A sense of fun, or 'craic' should be had by you and I both. I'm a bit of a generalist in terms of my tours. In a good days sight seeing we should cover a good amount of not only what's to see in Dublin, but also discuss many topics that will give you a strong insight into life here. However, if you have special areas of interest that that we absolutely must cover, even in great depth, let me know and I'll sort it. In fact that goes for each of my tour itineraries. Being inflexible is a most un-Irish characteristic, so lets not be too rigid. So why not drop me a line and we'll come up with a plan for your trip? - Failte Ireland qualified National Tour Guide - Dublin City Ambassador - City of a Thousand Welcomes Project - MA International Relations, DCU - BA European Studies, Trinity College - Erasmus, Sciences Po Bordeaux I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver. We may have difficulties guiding through the grounds of my alma mater, Trinity College or through the courtyard of Dublin Castle. We'll play it by ear though.

No city is built in an entirely ordered fashion, but in Dublin, it's possible to take a stroll through time starting from our marauding Viking founders right through to the newest invaders, the social media giants and back again. We'll take in Christchurch, Dublin Castle, and Dublin's cultural and touristic centre, Temple Bar. We'll look at the Norman invasion of Dublin and the long period of colonization that followed. We'll see the bridges that span the River Liffey, the GPO and the many notable statues along O' Connell St. We'll pass through our rejuvenated business district and Silicon Docks areas before heading back into the city centre and the iconic surroundings of Georgian Dublin. It's incredibly important to me that my guests get an accurate and unbiased account of Ireland's history, culture and politics. I'll try show you how the face of Dublin has changed time and again over the centuries, and this has left its people conscious of their past but firmly focused on the future.
