Greetings to you all. My name is Brian, I was born in Dublin where I enjoyed city life as a kid but moved to the unspoilt countryside for the majority of my youth in County Kildare, which is apart of the greater Dublin area today. I have always been someone who would talk to anyone and combine that personality with a passion for Ireland and it's history well I've been born with a gift, gift of the gab, my tours are a gift I would like to share with you as I am a natural born ambassador for my country. I love to meet new people and share with them the incredible stories of Ireland. Its an absolute pleasure. I specialise in small private day trips, I can carry a max of 8 in my vehicle, Volkswagon Shuttle. if you have a larger group I can hire a bus to transport the group. I'm available for walking tours of Dublin. Groups of all sizes, solo travellers, couples, families and friends. Schools and University groups welcome too. I started as a Tour Guide in 2015, I volunteered in a Cathedral, I worked as a Tour Guide on a bus tour of Dublin, I worked in a history Museum, I conducted walking tours of Dublin and day trips to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway, Giants Causeway and Belfast, Glendalough and Kilkenny, Malahide and Howth and Tara and Newgrange. All in all its been and amazing adventure and I've loved every minute of it. An adventure which I look forward to on a daily basis. I'm a very experienced Tour Guide and I love questions whether its general questions about Dublin's restaraunts, bars, music scene or specific questions on the history of the country. Its a pleasure for me to share the history of the Celts, Vikings, Normans, famine, folklore, mythology, emigration and independence. I love reading and music so I love to chat about Irish writers such as Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Brendan Behan, George Bernard Shaw, W. B. Yeats or musicians such as as U2, Sinead O Connor, Thin Lizzy, The Dubliners, Clannad, The Cranberries and Celtic Woman just to name a few. I also speak the Irish language or Gaelic as some refer to it and it would be a pleasure to share and teach you some of the words of my native tongue. If you have any special requests, any niche interests, thats perfectly fine. They say every street has a story. If for example you would like to trace your roots and would like to visit a village in which your ancestors lived I can bring you there. If you're a fan of a certain musician, actor, era of history I can tailor a tour for all your interests. We can make memories together and capture that special kodak moment together. I'm very flexible and have my own transport. Looking forward to showing around our amazing city of Dublin and island of Ireland.

Very interesting and informative tour. Brian was engaging and confident in his dialogue. We found that all questions even those not strictly related to the tour were answered confidently and that gave us the impression that Brian knew his subject intimately along with a wealth of other knowledge that enabled to clearly understand the nuance of Revolutionary periods. Over all a good tour that delivered to our expectations on a very complex subject.
Brian is an excellent guide with impressive knowledge of Irish history and the city of Dublin! Thank you for the tour, Brian:)
Brian was excellent. My son was interested in history and Brian was full of interesting facts. He was fun, engaging and we would highly recommend a tour with him.
Brian was wonderful at guiding us around the city and explaining the revolution. His background in history was extremely extensive and I will 100% rebook with him next time we are in Dublin!
We had a wonderful afternoon strolling around Dublin with Brian. The tour was eclectic, fun, and very informative. He showed us what we wanted to see and we both learned so much. Brian has a wealth of knowledge and he is happy and eager to share it with you. He is a pleasure to be around and chat with.
