Hello everyone! I'm a Certified National Guide for over 15 years and still love every minute of it! My very first tour around Ireland was with a group of corporate clients. The tour ended with us all singing folk songs in the cellar bar of a castle hotel together with an Irish rockstar who happened to be there on the night. It is that mixture of meeting interesting people coupled with the unpredictability of where the highways and byways of Ireland will lead that still fuels my enthusiasm for every tour. I also did a Masters in Business Studies specializing in Tourism Management but for me the most important "study" before every tour is to "read the audience"! Over the years I have guided many special interest groups such as journalists, actors, football teams, business and political leaders. My aim is to always to find out what makes THEM tick and respond in an informative and entertaining way. Being a mum of three kids I also know how to show families and younger visitors the sights of Dublin in a fun way. My hidden talents are playing an old traditional Irish instrument (you might get a sample during our tour) and knowing how to make proper Irish butter from scratch! ;-) Actually, I love anything food and drink related and enjoy sharing local restaurant and pub gems. Please join me on a memorable insider tour of Dublin, tailored to YOU and great fun for all in your party! Looking forward to meeting you! - Irish Tourist Board Approved National Tour Guide with over 15 years Guiding experience, fully licensed and insured. - Extensive experience with varied clients: Families, Corporate Execs, High Profile Visitors, Special Interest Groups, Journalists, Sports Teams, Adventure Seekers, Foodies and Nature Lovers. - Masters in Business Studies - Fluent German Speaker I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car/ minibus or coach with driver.

This tour gives you the option of an 8 hour tour spread over two days. We tailor-make an itinerary together according to your interests to make the most of your visit to Dublin by mixing sight-seeing highlights with real insider experiences. We can concentrate on the city must-sees on the first day and I can give you some great tips on what sights to explore for the remainder of the day on your own or where to dine and get the best local food experiences. On the second day we can explore some of the Dublin neighborhoods, take a hike by the coast, get to know some Dublin seaside villages or do an in-depth Museum tour. Anything is possible and tailored to you on the day! As a certified professional guide I can "pull back the curtains" on many local landmarks to let you see beyond the tourist facade. Included in the tour is a Dublin Transport Pass valid on all public buses, trains and trams and it can also be used to travel to/from the airport if required. This makes us very flexible to explore near & far!
We will plan your bespoke 2-day itinerary together when we meet. Splitting the total of 8 hours of guiding into 2 days leaves you the remainder of each day to explore on your own or check out some of the tips I have given you. You choose your itinerary, but of course I have many suggestions on how we can mix un-touristy experiences with some of the major sights such as: - Dublin's Georgian Squares with Colourful Doors of Dublin - Trinity College University Campus & visit to Long Room Library (Book of Kells) - Guinness Storehouse - Dublin Castle - National Museum of Ireland - St. Patrick's & Christchurch Cathedral - Temple Bar District - Creative Quarter & Best Shopping Areas - Literary Dublin - A short train trip to the coast - Seaside Hike with panoramic views of the City and Mountains - Markets, Restaurants, Cafes and real local Pubs. Or you can leave it all to me and I will tailor a tour once we have chatted a little about your interests. I can also help with restaurant suggestions for each day.
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
On foot at your own pace plus a Public Transport Pass valid on all local buses, trains &trams is included for maximum flexibility and to let you explore the city as you wish outside of the tour times. It is also valid to/from Dublin Airport and I can meet you on arrival and start the tour from there if you wish.
