"Darragh was such a great guide! Excellent communication throughout and he even made a video to help make sure I got to our meeting point easily and could recognize him. It was really special to see Dublin through the eyes of a local who has a lot of love for and knowledge about his community. The tours were exactly the experience I wanted; a mix of walking, history, chatting and beautiful scenery"
