  • Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
    Visting the campus. If you want to visit the Old Library and Book of Kells, please book our 5hr tour '(Nearly!) All of Dublin in 5 hours'. Access to the campus is limited to groups of 8 or fewer unless tickets for the Old Library are purchased in advance (these are Trinity's rules). Started in 1592 as a university only for Protestants, Trinity remained an institution of resentment for Ireland's Catholic majority up until at least 1970. Throughout the centuries, this fine university nurtured such aspiring students as Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, Bram Stoker and Samuel Beckett, the greatest playwright of the 20th century.
    10 minutes
  • The Book of Kells and the Old Library Exhibition, Dublin, Ireland
    You can coordinate with your guide to book the tickets in advance
    40 minutes
  • Temple Bar, Dublin, Ireland
    Stroll the cobbled streets of the famous Temple Bar area. Your guide will show you the real local spots (street art, bohemian shops) and hidden gems of what is a overty touristy area.
    15 minutes
  • Dublin Castle, Dublin, Ireland
    We will explore the grounds of Dublin Castle (upper and lower courtyards, Chapel Royal, Dubh Linn Gardens) without needing to explore any interiors, which can only be availed of through an official Dublin Castle tour
    15 minutes
  • Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, Ireland
    Visting the outside. Christ Church Cathedral or/and St Patrick's Cathedral Although a wooden church was built here in ca. 1030, and there was likely a pagan shrine before that, Christchurch as a stone structure began in the 1180s and has been restored and changed numerous times since. The neo-gothic architecture makes Christchurch, arguably, Dublin's most beautiful complex. The vast crypt underneath the cathedral deserves particular attention for its size, interesting curious and the fact that it hosted a pub, distillery and... brothel (!) in the 18th century.
    15 minutes
  • Ha'penny Bridge, Dublin, Ireland
    Cross the famous Ha'Penny Bridge, one of Dublin's icons. Take look up the river towards the Guinness Brewery (maybe you'll detect the aroma of hops boiling) or down the river towards the Custom House and the modern Docklands area. Or simply stop to observe the lovers' locks.
    5 minutes
  • National Museum of Ireland - Archaeology, Dublin, Ireland
    Closed on Mondays. On this tour we have time to EITHER do National Museum (free entry) or Book of Kells (paid entry). Coordinate with your guide after booking. We suggest you book this tour and our Museums tour for a great Dublin plan
    30 minutes
  • Leinster House, Dublin, Ireland
    Leinster House
    10 minutes
  • The O'Connell Monument, Dublin, Ireland
    Daniel O'Connell was arguably the first man to prove to the masses that civil disobedience and peaceful resistance could be effective. A huge hero for Irish people, having secured Catholic Emancipation, he's nick-named 'The Liberator' and the main street of our capital city is justifiably named after him.
    7 minutes
  • Bank of Ireland, Dublin, Ireland
    Old Parliament Building Dublin was the 2nd city of the British Empire in the 18th century, and we have the subtle patriotism of the Irish-born politicians of the institution to thank. Today, Dublin's architectural landscape is ornamented by an abundance of buildings from this period, making it look much older than Paris and London.
  • St Stephens Green, Dublin, Ireland
    Gifted to the city in 1880 by a member of the Guinness family, Stephen's Green remains much-appreciated by Dubliners today - it's probably their favourite piece of the city. We'll stroll through the lush verdure along the curved Victorian walkways and keep our eyes peeled for that most-rare of animals - an Irish person sunbathing!
    10 minutes
  • Grafton Street, Dublin, Ireland
    Don't let the brands and blatant consumerism fool you, Grafton still has its charm. In fact, Grafton street is one of the last bastions of old Dublin left. Admire the flower ladies, enjoy the buskers (street musicians) as you head towards Bewleys Café, Ireland's oldest and biggest café, built in 1927.
    5 minutes
  • An Post General Post Office, Dublin, Ireland
    It was outside this impressive building on Easter Monday when Padraig Pearse read the Declaration of Irish Independence and he, together with his 1600 comrades, led a rebellion that shock an empire. The most under-rated site in Dublin for tourists, the GPO retains all its historical potency for Dubliners and Irish people, but most tourists never learn why this should be on their top 5 list of sites to visit.
    15 minutes
  • City Hall, Dublin, Ireland
    One of the key locations of 1916 Easter Rising and an example of Dublin's 18th century architecture. We can enter the building as long as there is not a private event occuring.

John Caffrey was an amazing tour guide. He was a delightful personality with an abundance of knowledge. Our teenage children even enjoyed the 5+ hours around Dublin. 10/10.

Colm was an absolutely fabulous tour guide. He met us at our hotel at 9am for a 5 hr private tour of nearly of Dublin, and we headed off to tour the city. We had 4 adults and 5 children (ages 14-9). Colm did a great job with keeping the content engaging for the whole party. We really enjoyed seeing both side of the river, and loved all the history Colm shared as we walked the streets of Dublin. We enjoyed a lovely lunch during the tour at a great restaurant in Tempe Bar (The Cappuccino Bar). I would definitely recommend this tour for those hoping to learn a bit more about the History of Dublin.

Let me begin by making it plain: if you're looking for the best private tour guide in Dublin, Garvan is your man! I'm serious! Look no further. Garvan is a good looking man but it’s not his just his outward appearance. His light shines from within. He is engaging, enthusiastic, has unflagging energy, and is a font of knowledge. We learned an incredible amount of Irish history and had a great time with lots of laughs. He has a great generosity of spirit – he kept going after the 5 hour walking tour was complete and I have a feeling he would have kept going if we let him. By the end we felt we had made a new, good friend. We hope to see him again soon. Really, if you are going to go for the expense of a private tour, you might as well have the best. It's worth it, and Garvan is your man.
