I have been guiding in various forms in Dublin and its environs for many years simply because I love it. I have completed every state course available in tour guiding but having worked in every nook and cranny of this city and coutry for a lifetime I feel that my passion for it will speak volumes for my ability to portray it to you in private tours.

Overview of your Dublin tour

I am a born and bred Dubliner and I have been roaming these historic street for 60 years. This can be up to 6 hours with a national guide with an all consuming passion for the city. It is a short walk to anywhere. See Trinity College, Dublin Castle, Kilmainham Gaol, St Patricks Cathedral and the Phoeinix Park and the Guinness Storehouse. See where the Vikings first landed and created a town settlement and where the Anglo Normans developed the medieval city. Explore the exact places where Irish rebels fought and died to free the country from 800 years of occupation. Areas of interest include Dublin Castle, the seat of British power in Ireland for centuries, the two principal cathedrals of Dublin dating from the 11th and 12th centuries (and St Patricks Cathedral Door of Reconciliation), The Halfpenny Bridge, Temple Bar, Trinity College, Georgian Dublin etc. I can create a customized tour for you in case you have special requests or if you are more than 6 people and need a larger vehicle I can arrange it.

Your Dublin tour itinerary

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 over a million people in 1979. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to customize this tour.
