Yellow Umbrella Macabre and Bloody Tour. To Robert: first of all, I love your energy and vibes. you're super knowledgeable, you talk passionate about the things you want and need to talk about, and are a joy to listen to. You show genuine interest in the people you're touring, without prying or being too in your face. it's wonderful. the tour itself is very informative, with some nice gruesome details about Dublin's history. from start to finish, a great walking pace, very enjoyable information told by a legitimately and genuinely fun person. would definitely book a tour again. thank you for helping make our honeymoon unforgettable!
Great free walking tour with Jack. We learnt a lot about the South side and Dublin in general. Really nice walk with a balanced mixture of historical information and fun facts. As we liked the tour a lot, we spontaneously decided to book a beer tasting with them for the same day. Again it exceeded our expectations. This time we and a nice bunch of people were guided by Sam through different pubs and learned interesting stuff about beer and whiskey. As promised this tour was not a pub crawl but an entertaining and informative evening.
Did the main sites of dublin tour today, Sam was our guide. He was fantastic, loved all the stories, got to see a lot. He shared detailed knowledge of landmarks, history and culture. Highly recommend!
I took the Yellow Umbrella Walking Tour in Dublin with Sam & it was exceptional! Sam paid great attention to detail, listing specific dates and even fact checking along the way to answer questions. The tour was organized and it was clear Sam truly cared about the tour and our experience but also his home city of Dublin. Highly recommend, thanks Sam!!
We had a fantastic time on the Dublin walking tour with Jack. We learned a lot and enjoyed ourselves. I highly recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your stay in Dublin as a fast, dependable way to orient yourself in the city. The guides offer a lot helpful information about what to do while you’re here.
