Posted on SherriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I had an excellent private walking tour with Cathal in Dublin. He provided outstanding historical context that really helped bring the city and Ireland’s history to life, from the Viking era through independence. The tour was also a great overview and orientation to Dublin at the start of our trip, which made the rest of our stay much more enjoyable. Cathal was knowledgeable, engaging, and easy to talk to, and he gave us several excellent recommendations for the remainder of our Ireland trip. We ended up using many of his suggestions throughout our stay. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Dublin, especially at the beginning of a trip. Five stars!Posted on Becca ChoudhryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome private tour with Cathal Sheahan!

Highly recommend him for private and group tours.Posted on Michael ColucciTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cathal does an incredible job bringing Dublin to life. We spent two days with him and it was worth every Euro. Cathal has an intimate knowledge of Irish history and conveys it with wit and humor. Be prepared for song, poetry and sore feet.Posted on Pete Van BaalenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We knew that we had a short time in Dublin, so we wanted to make the most of it. Cathal was the perfect solution. He was very accomodating to our interests, tailoring our walk around the city. His knowledge of history and pop culture was a great combination, and provided us with an entertaining day in Dublin. Oh and the entertaining - some singing, some acting and a great storyteller all a part of the package. Highly recommend Cathal if you're looking for a tour of Dublin.Posted on Tip TopTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cathal led our group of teenage Spanish students on a walking tour of Dublin last month. I cannot recommend him highly enough! He adapted the tour perfectly to suit a group of tired, not very attentive, teens! Adapting his language and the route to make everything appeal much more to them. He knows Dublin like the back of his hand, is very knowledgeable and easy going. He even got them all singing!Posted on Kathy Dufour (Katto)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cathal is a fantastic tour guide! He is very knowledgeable and so personable, it was a delight to your the city with him, even in the torrential rain! Cathal was very flexible in adapting the tour to us and to the weather. He made the places we visited come alive with his stories, songs and wit - we even forgot about the rain! I will definitely book another tour with him when I'm back in Dublin!Posted on viduby7Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I booked the walking tour in Dublin with Cathal and we had 3 delightful hours walking and learning interesting facts about history and art. He knows the history well and in combination with his artistic skills this tour was very memorable. He has perfect interpersonal skills, punctual and accommodating. We highly recommend walking tours of Dublin and when visit the city hope to have another tour with Cathal.Load more
