Guided Walks In Dublin
The Best of Dublin Is By The Sea, Not The City
Most visitors to Dublin never leave the city centre and miss out on the natural beauty that makes Dublin so special. So skip the crowded museums and come on a walk by the sea.
Why My Tours Are Different
👋 A Dublin Friend
It’s more like going for a walk with your Irish friend. It's a conversation, not a lecture. We chat about Irish life, history culture, and people.
🎧 No Radios, No Crowds
Last weekend, I joined another group tour in Dublin for research. There were 32 of us, all wearing earpieces. There was no personal connection.
🏘️ Real Dublin, Not the Usual Route
I'm born and raised in Dublin. These are local walks in real Dublin.
🌊 And Yes, the Sea Air Helps
That fresh Dublin Bay breeze clears the head and lifts the mood.

The Howth Cliffs Tour (Fridays 10am)
Best for coastal views & Dublin's most spectacular photos!
No need to drive hours to see cliffs. They're right here in Dublin. I have family roots in Howth and live nearby.

- Stunning coastal cliff walk with views across Dublin Bay
- The fishing village with its trawlers & restaurants
- Look for Fish & Chips, the pair of friendly harbor seals
- Never get lost on these confusing cliff paths
The Village Tour (Saturdays, 10am)
This is Local Dublin!! Unique & Off The Beaten Path
Experience a real Dublin Saturday morning. Walk through my village, its farmers market, St. Anne's Park, and Bull Island beach. This is where I live - and where tourists never go.

The Sea Tour
I think this is the best of all the walks!
This is the most beautiful walk. If you have one day in Dublin. Do this!
Walk the stunning South Dublin coast from Dún Laoghaire to Dalkey & Killiney. Watch the famous Forty Foot winter swimmers, explore Ireland's most expensive village, walk Dublin's Beverly Hills and discover why locals love '99' ice cream from Teddy's.
What You'll Experience:
- Dún Laoghaire harbor & Sunday market
- The famous Forty Foot sea swimming spot
- Dalkey village, home to celebrities & cafes
- Killiney Hill with the best views in Dublin (the Sorrento of Ireland!)
- Legendary Teddy's ice cream
The Sea tours is only available as a private option. Email me or click the link below and then click "Book A Private Tour" at the top of the page when it opens.
The City Tour
Dublin's streets twist and turn in a thousand year old maze. People have gotten lost before. This is good tour to do on your first day to get your bearings.
I'll guide you through the confusion to the places that matter - whether you're interested in history, shopping, museums, breweries, distilleries, food or just soaking up the atmosphere of real Dublin beyond the tourist traps.
The Jetlag Buster Tour
Just landed from a red eye flight? I do a shorter 2 hours jet lag buster tour to keep you energized. Plenty of coffee stops along the way and no boring stuff to make you nod off.
