Traveler Reviews

Hands down best local guide in Dublin. Ben has been nothing but great. True storyteller, great heart - he has made the whole experience even better than expected. Able to cherry-pick small details here and there, Ben makes you embark on a journey where nature meets history.

Ben orgainsed a hike in the Dublin Mountains for a group of 24 - 16 year old students. Ben not only arranged a fantastic route but was very knowledgable about the history of the area and had very interesting and engaging facts and stories about landmarks along the way. He had a lovey manner and we all had a great day. I hope to ask Ben to organise many more hikes in the future. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone interested in doing a hike in the Dublin mountains. Thank you very much Ben!
