Raquel is a wonderful guide; she explains everything so well. Thanks to her, we understood Irish culture and history much better. She portrays the harshness of the dark ages and also adds a touch of humor at times. In my opinion, everything she explains is very accurate and well done. Without a doubt, this tour is 100% recommended to anyone visiting this city.

Meet your tour group next to The Spire in central Dublin at the selected time, ready to visit places such as the mythical Temple Bar neighbourhood.

Among the other highlights are the Town Hall, the Clarence Hotel, and the cathedral to St. Patrick himself, as well as the other cathedral in the city, Christchurch. We'll also see Dublin Castle and cross Ha'penny and O'Connell Bridge as we criss-cross the city.

We'll visit the Chester Beatty Library and uncover the medieval relics and Viking remains of the city, as well as see Christ Church Cathedral and the Dubh Linn Gardens. Throughout the tour, the guide will share lots of interesting facts about the capital, such as St. Patrick's Day, the country's musical culture, and everything related to its language.

After about three hours of sightseeing, we'll conclude this free tour in the vicinity of Dublin Castle.

Raquel es una guía maravillosa, explica todo muy bien. Gracias a ella hemos entendido mucho mejor la cultura y la historia irlandesa. Cuenta la crudeza de las épocas oscuras y también le añade toques de humor a veces, en mi opinión muy correcto todo lo que explica y lo bien que lo hace. Sin duda un tour 100% recomendable a cualquiera que visite esta ciudad. Translate this opinion into English.

Lucrecia fue una guía excelente. Simpática, divertida, con muy buena energía. Las explicaciones eran claras y muy bien organizadas. Hizo que las 2 horas y media de tour pasaran volando. He hecho muchos tours guiados por todo el mundo y sin duda ha sido una de las mejores guías que he visto. Un 10!! Translate this opinion into English.

Lucrecia was an excellent guide. Friendly, fun, and energetic. Her explanations were clear and very well-organized. She made the two and a half hour tour fly by. I've taken many guided tours around the world, and she was without a doubt one of the best guides I've ever seen. A 10/10! Opinion translated. Show original.

Excellent. Edu couldn't possibly know more interesting things about the city of Dublin and the history of Ireland! And he also knows how to tell them, no matter how serious they are, in an entertaining way, but always with the utmost love and respect for history and this country. The best guide I've ever met.

nos toco como guia Nur! se notaba que sabía un montón sobre irlanda y compartía así mismo sus experiencias viviendo aquí. Estuvo bueno! Pero una opinión personal es que estaría bueno llevar el tour por lugares que al turista le interesen, aunque se vio reflejado en el tour pero como por ejemplo: visitar la catedral, la embajada de inmigrantes y otro tipo de lugares típicos. Sacando eso de lado estuvo bueno y él nos dio muchas recomendaciones que nos sirvieron Translate this opinion into English.

We had Nur as our guide! It was clear he knew a lot about Ireland and shared his experiences living there. It was great! But my personal opinion is that it would be good to take the tour to places that tourists would be interested in, although it was reflected in the tour, but for example: visiting the cathedral, the immigrant embassy, and other typical places. Aside from that, it was great, and he gave us many recommendations that were helpful. Opinion translated. Show original.
