“This is just to tell you that we really enjoyed the walking tour last Wednesday morning (17th April). Despite the cold and at times rainy weather, our guide James gave us such an interesting tour, and was so generous with all the information he gave us. Please thank him from us both. It was our first trip to Dublin (indeed, to Ireland) and it has definitely made us want to return! Many thanks to you all”

Pat was a phenomenal guide. He was a wealth of very cool info to help understand the significant parts of Dublin’s and Ireland’s culture. I am of Irish heritage and prouder today to be Irish following on from Pat’s tour. Highly recommend!

“We have been on many walking tours, this is the best way to get to know what to see. Go at the beginning of your trip! Very authentic tour. Pat even joined us for the meet and greet at the meet up spot. Learned a lot about Dublin. We saw all the highlights from the outside so that we could plan which places we’d explore on the inside. Highly recommend this group.”

Take A Closer Look

Each tall Georgian house, designed in perfect harmony with its neighbours, is adorned with a distinct hall door and entrance giving Dublin one of the city’s most distinctive icons, the Georgian door. Once the private domain of the square’s residents, Merrion Square Park is a quite oasis adorned with meandering pathways, secluded corners and a rich tapestry of commemorative statuary. The most famous statue and one of the most cleverly crafted examples, we would say, in the world is that to Oscar Wilde, one of the most illustrious sons of Dublin. St Stephen’s Green, once the playground of the rich) is another one of the city’s loveliest green spaces that we can visit. For fans of James Joyce no visit to this area would be complete without calling into Sweny’s Pharmacy. Containing an interior that has hardly changed since it first opened in the 1850s, this pharmacy features in Joyce’s seminal work, Ulysses, and is today a working shrine to this literary genius.
