Dublin Walking Tours

Dublin Walking Tours
The Howth Cliff Walk

My walking tours are local, different & better.

I have 5 walking tours in Dublin. Two are in the city and three are in coastal Dublin villages that easy to get to within 20 minutes by train.

These are not your typical crowded tourist trap tours. You'll see real & local Dublin on my tours. The Jet Lag Tour is the most popular, the Killiney Hills one is my favorite though.

I'm a born & bred Dubliner. I lead all the tours myself. This is important when I'd estimate that 75% of the other guides are recent arrivals in Dublin themselves, they're students, English is their second language and they barely know the city beyond the tour script they were taught.

All my tours are private & two hours long. They can be customized too.

City Tours

2.The Trad Music Sessions

The Trad Music Sessions: Real Irish Trad Music With Locals
Come on a tour to hear Irish trad music in local Dublin pubs. Away from the tourists and locals only. Thursdays & Sundays only because that’s when the best play.

Coastal Dublin Tours

Most visitors never leave the city centre, which is a mistake. My coastal tours show a Dublin you didn’t expect: gorgeous scenery, local villages, and no tourists. All just 30 minutes from the city.

3.Dalkey & Killiney Hills: The Sorrento Bay of Dublin

Dalkey & Killiney Bay: The Most Scenic Walk in Dublin
You’ll want to move to Dublin after this walk. Dublin’s best views, 100 year old swim spots & foodie village. Far from tourist crowds.

Walking Tour Reviews

"You were a wonderful guide and it’s the best walking tour in Dublin"
"Best walking tour of the most beautiful areas south of the city center, & the nicest tour guide ever. Highly recommended!"
"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 a Dublin village 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"
"Darragh was delightful, and so kind! I want to come back and take tour after tour with him"

Thank you so much for showing us around. We truly enjoyed our time with you. My kids even wanted to do another tour...LOL. You went above and beyond to show us a side of Ireland that most people do not get to see. We appreciate your patience, kindness, and guidance with using the DART
