I've lived in Dublin city centre and suburbs all my life, and the history of Dublin and it's stories are endlessly surprising, even to someone who lives here. Since I've started with ToursByLocals I've found it to be a lot of fun, and very rewarding to see visitors really engage with the real Dublin! These are the streets of James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, Bono, Sinead O'Connor, Arthur Guinness., (and some baddies too, like Henry the Eighth and a couple of Cromwells..) . . I take little detours when asked (which is a LOT), and I like to make sure that my friends who book onto my tours have the best of times! As a professional musician and producer I've also got some unusual insights into some of the secrets of this world, with the ocassional behind the scenes tale or two. I also have a very special relationship with Dublin's Ha'Penny Bridge, as I personally brokered the deal to make Fender Guitars in honour of Gary Moore and Phil Lynott from the bridge itself! Dublin is an old city, but it's not a museum, it's also a brand new city - this is the same throughout all of Ireland - and I enjoy showing visitors how these worlds live side by side, so you can have fun while being amazed at the same time!

Overview of your Dublin tour
Overview of your Dublin tour: For Medium to large groups (up to 16 people), catering to many interests... This tour is super interesting, and a lot of fun! It's a mix of history and stories and shopping! - from your Cruise Ship, airport or hotel, where you can see the very heart of historical Dublin up close, including Trinity College, and the scene of the 1916 Rebellion ('The Rising'), The Grafton Street Shopping Area, Ha'Penny Bridge, Christchurch Cathedral, St Patrick's Cathedral, before taking a trip into the beautiful Dublin Mountains for authentic Irish lunch in Johnny Foxes or The Merry Ploughboy!

Plenty of stories about each of these places, from famous Dublin characters to terrible firing squads.
