We were in Dublin for a 2 days before going to explore the south; after taking the private walking tour with Colm - not only do I want to stay and explore the rest of Dublin , I now aspire to read more Irish poetry /history, listen to more Irish music as well a become a true blue (& yellow : UpTip : Tipperary) hurling fan! Honestly, I spent the day after landing wandering around near my hotel, but experiencing a private walking tour with our guide Colm I was able to put into context the places I had gone as well given brilliant places to go after the tour that made my Dublin experience complete. It felt that Colm had a clever tale, beautiful song or personal anecdote for every 20 feet we walked, as well recommendations for great food and authentic experiences.
I love to travel, l love to understand the culture, history and people of the places I visit - it may seem I only write glowing reviews, but it's because I write these when an outing, excursion or tour inspires me to explore more. Dublin Private tours is the way to go if you want to get to know Dublin from the eyes of the people who live there and genuinely want to share the story and pride they have for this city and the country of Ireland. Whereas many tours remind you that you are tourist, this tour felt more like I was a guest and member of my family was showing me around the city. I can continue to heap praise and write long-winded descriptions like my other reviews, I will just say gold experience that left me with a fondness for Dublin that I really intend to return back to someday! Thank you Colm and Dublin Private Tours!
