Traveler Reviews

This was a good intro to the city, history and people of Dublin. Knowledgable guide and interesting tour.

Different architectural styles from Georgian to Victorian to modern. Powers court building. Famous Irish men and women from Dublin. Aoine was an excellent guide.

Very knowledgeable guide. Great way to see the city. Everything was really good. Sometimes hearing was a problem but couldn’t ask for better and friendly people.

With all the COVID-19 restrictions, it’s very difficult to get on any tours, and I was so glad that Pat did not cancel on me even though I was the only person! He was incredibly knowledgeable and gave suggestions on what to see outside the tour, where to eat, and shop! The highlight of the tour was when he sang a verse of the Cockles and Mussels! I definitely recommend this tour!

Great walking tour with Pat Liddy. My husband and I were only people on tour and could ask questions and discuss everything we were seeing. Pat is expert on Dublin history and we learned so much.
