The tour

Let me share my city with you

City tours last between 1.5 and 3 hours depending on what suits you, and most run about 2 hours. I guide large groups of up to 30 as well as small private tours.

Tours normally start on O'Connell Street, but I can also pick you up at your hotel and tailor the route to where you're staying. Expect a little bit of history, lots of fun facts, and plenty of interaction along the way.

From recent city walks

Me and my husband had a wonderful time with Joe. His guiding was knowledgeable and friendly, and he shared many interesting stories about Dublin's history and culture. It was a really great way to explore the city and learn more about Dublin. Thanks for your time!

Great experience. Joe obviously loves his city and his enthusiasm comes across in his stories and anecdotes. There were a lot of 'oohs' and 'wows' from the group as we learned new and interesting facts.

Joe is a brilliant, passionate tour guide and has many stories that you will not read about in the guide books. He has an in-depth knowledge of Dublin and a warm and funny nature, which made our tour very enjoyable.
