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

Take a lovely Christmas trip through the beautiful streets of Dublin City, where the soft dark evenings bring the magic of Christmas glistening to life. Dublin's Grafton Street, where the classic Christmas windows of Brown Thomas Dept Store glow, and the sound of the buskers accompany your trip, and the warmth of a cosy coffee at Bewleys beckons. Starting with a little trip around St Patrick's and Christchurch Cathedrals, a walk through the Trinity College Campus and St Stephens Green area, Temple Bar and the beautiful Ha'Penny Bridge. Tailored to suit if you like, so please feel free to request little adjustments!

1 - The iconic Ha’Penny Bridge 2 - Temple Bar – the creative heart of Dublin. 3 - Christchurch Cathedral. 4 - St Patrick's Cathedral. 5 - Dublin Castle. 6 - Trinity College – rain or shine, it’s always a magical place to experience! 7 - Grafton Street shopping area. 8 - Bewleys Cafe (or the pub!).
