Overview of your Dublin tour
A 4-hour walking tour through historic and cultural Dublin, an easy, engaging way to get your bearings and step into the story of the city. We begin with the Celts- who we are, where we came from, and why so many sought to invade Ireland, before winding our way through the streets of Celtic Ireland, with folklore gently woven through the stories as we go. Together, we follow the timeline of Irish history, coming up close and personal with our invaders and influencers. Along the way, we meet a few characters, pause for tea, coffee or a pint of Guinness, and take a moment to sit with our Celtic origins, bringing the bigger picture into context.

This was an outstanding tour of central Dublin. Jay is an engaging and knowledgeable guide who quickly gauged our interests. Her indepth explanations and stories go far beyond a simple recitation of historical facts. We had a wonderful 4 hour tour that went by like a breeze.
Ellie C.United States
Jay was amazing and I would recommend her highly. She took the time to get to know us, and then tailored our tour to cover the things we were interested in and to get us interested in much more. Her kind spirit, historic and cultural knowledge, and terrific sense of humor provided the perfect introduction to Dublin. Thanks, Jay!
Dan F.United States
My wife and I really enjoyed our time with Jay. We spent several hour walking around central Dublin. She spent time to get to know us and tailored our time together accordingly. The tour was not about dates/locations, but her storytelling helped provide context and a deeper understanding of Irish culture and lifestyle. She truly cared that we had a great experience both on her tour and the remaining time in the city.
