St Stephen's Green

This full day driving tour will whisk you through Dublin's highlights, and give you great insight into Ireland and its people.

As you travel, your driver-guide will inform you about Dublin’s 1,000 year history from the first Viking settlers to the Norman arrival and the building of the city into what you see today. Highlights of this tour include the beautiful Georgian squares and parks of Dublin, the Grand Canal Dock, Trinity College area, Templebar, O’Connell Street, the Guinness and Jameson areas, the historic Phoenix Park, Dublin Castle, St Patricks Cathedral and much more.

On your tour, you will have the opportunity to visit the historic St Patricks Cathedral which dates back to 1211 AD and was lovingly restored in the 1800's by the Guinness family. From St Patricks Cathedral, you will make your way across Dublin to the perfectly preserved Georgian Henrietta Street dating from the mid 1700's to visit this historical townhouse telling the story of Dublin in the 1800's. This site is closed on Monday and Tuesdays so alternatively one can enjoy a tour of Glasnevin Cemetery which has a fascinating history and is very much a who's who of Irish history.

Travel isn’t just about travel, it’s people, faces, food and cultures, fresh perspectives, discoveries and different ways of life - it’s about uncovering the city’s soul. It’s about connection. On your private, guided tour of Dublin with a local: 

Ireland’s compact capital - with its vibrant, historical and beautiful streets - has witnessed everything from the Great Famine to the fight for Irish Freedom. A city made for walking, easily navigable districts make orientation a breeze, but even if you get lost, the locals are some of the friendliest you will find in the world. The annual St. Patrick's Day Parade attracts millions of revellers to Irish folk songs and 
Cèilidh dancing, but in Dublin there are free-flowing pints of “the black stuff” and live music year-round in lively watering holes.

 

Enjoying a private, guided tour with a local will help you discover the side-streets and stories often missed. Hear the intriguing backstories and learn the backstories and neighbourhood rumours which bring Dublin to life, from the revolution over a century ago to the country’s current relationship to mainland Europe and the United Kingdom. There are no substitutes for anecdotes and first-hand insight – which is why we’ve built this tour: so that you can have a Dubliner's knowledge to  help you swerve tourist traps, lengthy queues and over-priced nonsense. While you walk the city, you’ll uncover its authenticity through the eyes of a Dubliner. Your tour is immersive - bringing meaningful and like-minded interesting people together that would never meet if you stuck to the main tourist drag. Experience the world-famous Irish humour, the lilt in the local accent, and great ‘craic’ over a beer or coffee at a local pub, and then jot down your guide’s version of “must do Dublin.”
