3 Hour Dublin Highlights Private Walking Tour

Price: €230 (1–6 guests)

A well-paced introduction to Dublin’s most iconic sights and stories.

This three-hour walking tour is ideal for first-time visitors or anyone seeking a clear and enjoyable understanding of Dublin’s historic centre.

As we walk through the city’s streets and hidden corners, we trace Dublin’s story — from early Celtic Ireland and Viking settlements, through medieval power and centuries of British rule, to rebellion, independence and the shaping of modern Ireland.

My approach is personal and story-driven. I aim to bring history to life through storytelling, local insight and a touch of Irish humour, with plenty of time for questions along the way.

If you wish, we can include a short coffee or refreshment pause during the tour.

Possible Highlights

• Dublin Castle and the Castle Gardens
• Christ Church Cathedral and the Medieval Quarter
• Wood Quay – site of the Viking settlement
• Temple Bar and the Ha’penny Bridge
• Trinity College and College Green

Depending on timing and interest we may also visit:

• O’Connell Street and the GPO
• Merrion Square and Oscar Wilde
• The National Gallery
• The National Museum of Archaeology

4 Hour Complete Dublin Private Walking Tour

Price: €280 (1–6 guests)

A relaxed, in-depth exploration of Dublin with extra stories, hidden corners and time to explore at a comfortable pace.

This four-hour experience allows us to discover Dublin’s highlights without feeling rushed, while also exploring places and stories that shorter tours often miss.

Across four engaging hours we trace Dublin’s rich and layered story — from early Celtic Ireland and the arrival of Christianity, through Viking settlements and medieval intrigue, to rebellion, independence and the shaping of modern Ireland.

My tours are personal, flexible and story-driven. Rather than presenting history as a list of dates, I connect people and place through narrative, humour and local insight. Sometimes a line of poetry, a myth, or even a short song finds its way into the walk.

Possible Highlights

• Dublin Castle
• Christ Church Cathedral and the Medieval Quarter
• Wood Quay – the Viking settlement
• Temple Bar and the Ha’penny Bridge
• Trinity College and College Green
• Grafton Street and St Stephen’s Green

With the additional time we may also include:

• Merrion Square and Oscar Wilde
• The National Gallery
• The National Museum of Archaeology
