Customer Reviews
Today, Saturday 24th I took South Dublin walking tour with Peter, and it was a fantastic experience! Peter's knowledge of Dublin's hidden gems, history, and culture is impressive. He took us to spots I'd never noticed before, and his stories brought the city to life. The tour was a great way to explore my own neighborhood, and I appreciated the fresh perspective. Highly recommend Peter's tour for a fun and informative experience to everyone.
Want a cultured, entertaining overview of the history as well as the insider scoop of current day Dublin? Two words to reminder, folks: Jack. Redmond. An absolute history buff and local legend, he introduced Dublin and Ireland with a warm welcome. Highly recommend!
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.
