Hello, my name is Jimmy and I am a Dublin man born and bred. I have been a tour guide in my native city for more than twenty years. I love Dublin and all the attractions we have to offer.

Jimmy was a fabulous tour guide. He was very knowledgeable; he was able to book us last minute tickets to Kilmainham Gaol and the Pearse Lyons distillery. He made us feel comfortable and shared his love of his country with us. I would definitely recommend him.

We had a wonderful day with Jimmy in Dublin. Our family of six learned so much about the history and culture of Ireland from Jimmy. He is a great storyteller and had all of us captivated. We highly recommend Jimmy to anyone who would like a deeper appreciation of the vast history of Ireland.

We had a lovely day in Dublin with Jimmy. Jimmy was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and we were able to see the all the sites on our wish list. We were able to learn a lot about the area and the history of Dublin. If I returned to Dublin, I would definitely request Jimmy to guide us around the city.

Our tour guide was Jimmy M. Yes, he is Irish, born and raised in Dublin. What better way is there to see the city of Dublin than with a "local guide"? He was able to take us to the most wonderful place and really see Dublin. Most importantly, he was so incredibly knowledgeable about the history and current facts about his magnificent city. An amazing tour guide like Jimmy will make your day perfect! 5 stars just is not enough to describe our day! Thanks Jimmy!
