Dublin Walking Tours

Dublin Walking Tours
The Howth Cliff Walk

My walking tours are local, different & better.

I have 5 walking tours. Two are in the city and three are in coastal Dublin.

City Tours

1.The Jet Lag City Tour

The Jetlag Walk In Dublin. For When You’ve Just Landed
You’ve flown all night but your hotel room isn’t ready. Besides, you’re in Ireland! This walk is the perfect intro to Dublin. Fun not boring to keep you awake.

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.

4.The Sea Tour to the Forty Foot Baths

An easy seafront walk through Dublin's coastal villages

The Sea Tour. Walk With Dubliners along coastal villages
You’ll feel like a Dubliner, not a tourist, on this tour as you walk along the sea through local villages with swimming spots, piers, ice cream & local cafes.

5.Howth Cliffs Walk

No need to drive hours to see cliffs. They're right here in Dublin.

The Howth Cliffs Walking Tour. Just 30 mins from Dublin
Do the best Dublin day trip on a private walking tour of the Howth Cliffs with a local who grew up walking the cliffs. Take a Howth boat tour afterwards for the perfect day.

  • All tours are private & two hours long

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"
“Just wanted to send you a quick note thanking you again for the most excellent tour! We've been talking about it since we saw you on Monday; Howth was definitely the highlight of our stay in Dublin.Much Appreciated“

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
