Welcome to Dublin - home to some of the friendliest, wittiest hosts you'll ever meet. Take a private Dublin tour with a knowledgeable local guide and get ready to be charmed by one of Europe's liveliest capitals.

Begin your day with a stroll through the lovely grounds of Trinity College, established in 1592, making sure to visit the beautiful Book of Kells at the Old Library. If you enjoy beer (as the Irish do!) tour the Guinness Storehouse in St. James Gate Brewery. Your guide will ensure you enjoy a pint of the famous brew at one of the city's many colourful pubs, where you can also listen to foot-tapping traditional Irish music.

Ireland's compact size means there are many daytrip opportunities from Dublin. Your guide would be happy to take you to Newgrange, a 5000 year old neolithic burial tomb and UNESCO World Heritage Site, or if you fancy a hike, perhaps the Wicklow Mountains.

Your Dublin tour will give you a glimpse of this fabulous city, through the eyes of a local.

Private Half Day Tour of the Art & Architecture of Ireland

Are you crazy about Columns, do you flip over Fan Windows, have you a passion for paint? Yes? Then this is the tour for you! I love my City of Dublin! I love how our architecture screams classic style and sophistication. A building must meet it's functional requirements but why not do that with flair and style? That's what Georgian Dublin is all about! Let me show you the domestic architecture of 18th century Dublin and the neo classical palaces of our civic buildings! We will stroll through the wide streets and squares of Dublin and immerse ourselves in the lives of the well heeled Dubliners living in a vibrant, up and coming, entrepreneurial City. Ireland is known as a land of saints and scholars but did you know we are pretty talented in the visual arts also? Let me bring you through the doors of our palatial National Art Gallery and tell you the stories behind the works of some of our most iconic painters! Artists & trail blazers of technique and execution who inspired future generations.

Private Tour to Ireland's finest 18th Century Houses

As a heritage specialist and historian, I love sharing all that is best in Irish heritage. Ireland is rightly famed for its 18th-century Georgian architecture with some of the best-preserved examples in the world, created when Ireland was the second kingdom of the British Empire, and Dublin its second capital. It's called Georgian because there were four kings of England and Ireland in the roughly 100 years from 1714 until 1830 - Georges I to IV. I love sharing the stories behind the architecture also. It's a great way of understanding what our links to England are all about and how Ireland has had such a major influence on the English-speaking world.

I have spent a lifetime campaigning for the preservation of these beautiful places and delight in showing them to you.
