This was the first time that a group of colleagues from California, London and Dublin got together and what a fantastic way to bond as a team while exploring the sights and having a few jars in Dublin. John Caffrey was an extremely knowledgeable guide and was very culturally aware of the interests of my American and British colleagues. Highly recommended. My American colleagues were asking where/how they could tip our guide John.We had a great time with our tour guide John Caffrey.

We had a great time with our tour guide John Caffrey. We saw a good, well rounded tour of some of Dublins historical sights as well as a couple of uniquely and fun pubs. At each stop and all along the way, John entertained us with stories and facts about Dublin and Ireland in general. It made for a great afternoon and all 8 of our group really enjoyed it.What a great way to see Dublin!

This is the 2nd tour we’ve taken with This company and is did not disappoint. The 1st time we were guided by Garvan and this time we had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with Carl. What we liked is that they both are extremely professional and knowledgeable, but each has their own unique style and personality. We saw some different things with Carl that we hadn’t seen with Garvan 2 years ago and Carl offered a fresh perspective on some things we had seen already. It was an overall great tour and we thoroughly enjoyed it again. It was perfect because we had a mix of 1st timers and some that had already experience Dublin, and we were all happy with the tour! Book with Garvan or Carl and you won’t be disappointed!!!
