Hello there. I love history, driving and talking so it is no surprise I offer a luxury historical touring service. I have a Masters degree in Medieval Studies and I am a Failte Ireland accredited tour guide. My company is a Dublin Tourism Partner and I have provided press tours for visiting journalists on behalf of Failte Ireland and Dublin Tourism. I am the longest serving and the highest rated driver-guide in Dublin on ToursByLocals. I have been reviewed favourably by some of the biggest newspapers and magazines in the business. (Die Welt, VG, Volkswagen Travel magazine, Vogue). I have also worked on television travel documentaries dealing with Dublin, appeared in some of them and have even provided an open topped bus tour for the Australian X-Factor TV program. I love my city and my country and I like to share this knowledge and passion with visitors. Although Ireland is a small country we are lucky to have so much to see and do and the people are not too bad either!

Overview of your Dublin tour
Maximize your time ashore with a private guide and a luxury private tour of the historical highlights of Dublin City and the beautiful Irish countryside surrounding our capital. You would leave the city via the coastal road along Dublin Bay before heading inland to beautiful County Wicklow to visit the fabulous Powerscourt House and Gardens. From there you would return to Dublin to have lunch in a traditional Dublin pub (optional) before touring Viking and Medieval Dublin to hear about the origins of our city. Includes a self-guided visit to St Patrick's Cathedral and Trinity College/The Book of Kells exhibition. If there is still time available after these site have been seen, I would be happy to show you all I can in the time available to you. In Dublin, there is so much to see! If a particular site is busy there are many other possible substitutes. I guarantee you will see the maximum amount possible in the time available to you.

Kiernan was exceptional! A wealth of information on all things "Dublin". Very well organized and focused on our preferences. His knowledge of history really helped us understand what we were seeing on the tour. The van was very comfortable-plenty of stops for breaks and refreshments. A great day overall!

Kieran did an amazing job. He picked us up at the port and showed us around Dublin. He had let me customize the tour and provided links of where to purchase tickets. Our day ended with a recommendation for a pub that was started in 1649. Food was amazing.

Our group of 6 recently completed this tour with Kieran. Dublin is a beautiful city and we got to see so much on our tour. St Patrick’s cathedral was beautiful, the Book of Kells was awesome to see . We enjoyed the lovely gardens at Powerscourt gardens. Kieran was kind, punctual, and very knowledgeable about all things Dublin. I highly recommend him for any Dublin tours.

Kieran is personable and knowledgeable, and shared great stories as he drove us all over Dublin and the outskirts. We had a grand tour with Kieran and our group of six (that barely agrees on anything) all loved the information that Kieran shared….as well as the wonderful pub that we went to for lunch. We highly recommend Kieran!

Kiernan did an excellent job of showing us around Dublin. He had a great sense of humor and was very knowledgeable about all the sites we toured. He was very patient as were a bit late getting off our ship. He adjusted nicely, showed us the sites and got us back to the port in a very timely manner. Thank you for a great day.
