I’m Cathal, a private guide and professional actor, offering story-led walking tours that bring Dublin to life. I’ve spent over a decade guiding visitors through this city, sharing its history, culture, and stories with people from all over the world. Born in Dublin and raised in rural County Kerry, I grew up in a world where storytelling was part of everyday life—tales of emigration, rebellion, landlords, fairies, and ghosts. When I later returned to Dublin for university, it felt like stepping onto the stage where so many of those stories had unfolded. My background includes Philosophy, Archaeology, and German. Having spent time living in Germany, I speak conversational German and am happy to welcome German-speaking guests. I also work professionally as an actor. That naturally shapes the way I guide. I bring the city to life through story, atmosphere, and lively conversation. My tours are relaxed, engaging, and personal. Whether it’s your first time in Dublin or you want to go deeper, I aim to help you experience the city with humour, insight, and a real sense of adventure. Dublin has a story around every corner, and I’d be delighted to share it with you. Cathal

Walk the paths trodden by Jonathan Swift and Arthur Guinness as we delve deep into Dublin's past and present. We will visit Christchurch Cathedral (entrance fee included) and explore a number of other churches including St. Audoen's, St. Teresa's, and St Patrick's Cathedral (exterior). As we walk to these areas we will explore the history and culture of Ireland as well as Ireland's relationship with religion and spirituality. This is a great tour for those who are interested in exploring Ireland's Christian and pagan past. It also lends itself to conversations about modern Ireland and its relationship with spirituality and religion.
We may explore: - St. Teresa's Church - they say it's the busiest church in Ireland, right next to Grafton Street. - Whitefriar Church - home of St. Valentine's relics. - St. Patrick's Cathedral (exterior) - The national cathedral of the Church of Ireland. - St. Audoen's Church - the oldest church on the southside of the city that still holds religious service. - Christchurch Cathedral (entrance included) - Dublin's oldest building. - We will finish up at The Church pub (formerly St. Mary's) - A converted Anglican church where none other than Arthur Guinness was married in 1761.
