(WALKING TOURS ONLY) Hi folks, I'm Fergal, it means "bright man" in Irish Let's see! Born and bred in Dublin, for over a decade I've been lucky enough to guide people around home town. I love to be able to stroll through the city and take in whatever that day's offerings are. I rarely take larger groups now as I guess I prefer a style of guiding that is more based on a chat rather than a lecture. No matter where you are from, I hope that to some extent I will be able to draw comparison between the way we do things here and the way it's done in your neck of the woods. It's incredibly important to me that my guests get an accurate and unbiased account of Ireland's history, culture and politics to name but a few, albeit given from a personal viewpoint. It's equally important to me that you enjoy your time in Dublin. A sense of fun, or 'craic' should be had by you and I both. I'm a bit of a generalist in terms of my tours. In a good days sight seeing we should cover a good amount of not only what's to see in Dublin, but also discuss many topics that will give you a strong insight into life here. However, if you have special areas of interest that that we absolutely must cover, even in great depth, let me know and I'll sort it. In fact that goes for each of my tour itineraries. Being inflexible is a most un-Irish characteristic, so lets not be too rigid. So why not drop me a line and we'll come up with a plan for your trip? - Failte Ireland qualified National Tour Guide - Dublin City Ambassador - City of a Thousand Welcomes Project - MA International Relations, DCU - BA European Studies, Trinity College - Erasmus, Sciences Po Bordeaux I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver. We may have difficulties guiding through the grounds of my alma mater, Trinity College or through the courtyard of Dublin Castle. We'll play it by ear though.

Overview of your Dublin tour

Let's follow in the footsteps of the famous and fabled Molly Malone, through Dublin's Streets broad and narrow. If you ask me nicely, I'll sing a few bars of the song! This tour is ideal for the visitor that might only be passing through the city, or already has a busy itinerary and has just a few hours to spare. I want you to learn how our nations capital came to into being, was moulded over the centuries, and what she's like to live in today. As a Dublin City Ambassador, it's incredibly important to me that my guests get an accurate and unbiased account of Ireland's history, culture and politics. Because you only have a short time, let's cut to the chase. If you're interested in something and less so in something else, let's tailor the tour for you. I want you to be engaged by what Dublin has to offer, and to finish with some great memories of your stay here. Drop me a line and let's go for a stroll!

Fergal was fun, humorous, helpful , friendly and full of information about the parts of Dublin we visited. No hesitation in recommending Fergal if you're visiting Dublin and we would certainly book Fergal again for a Dublin tour.

Fergal is a great guide! He knows a lot about the city and is also extremely personable. If you’re lucky, he may even sing for you! Our group of 4 had a great time with him.

Fergal’s knowledge of Dublin’s history and culture was truly first-rate! It was our first day in the city, and he gave us exactly the overview we were looking for. We especially appreciated his flexibility in accommodating a couple of last-minute requests to our itinerary. He made the entire experience enjoyable, informative, and memorable. We highly recommend Fergal to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and personable guide in Dublin!

We booked Fergal for a walking tour on our first day in Dublin, and it was the best way to start our trip. Our family of five covered all the sights we'd hoped to see, and he gave us a great feel for the layout of the city. That meant we could confidently explore on our own for the next few days. Communication was excellent from the start. Fergal was flexible with both timing and meeting place, which made everything easy. He was incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and he kept the whole family engaged. If you're headed to Dublin, I highly recommend taking his tour. Five stars!
