No Tourist Bars The Brazen Head, The Hairy Lemon, The Temple Bar. We are going nowhere near these tourist bars on my pub tour. Instead, we are going to the type of traditional pub that has made Irish pubs famous throughout the world. We Go To Old Pubs Most of
I just read (yet) another what to wear in Ireland question. I think people over complicate it. Our weather is not as drastic as it can be made out. Except in winter. I work as a walking tour guide, surf and hike in the mountains on my days off so

Is St. Patrick's Cathedral Worth Visiting? I'm a tour guide who loves tours because they bring places alive. Churches are not exciting places, let's be realistic here, and it's the tour guides who make them worth visiting. But I just wasn'

The Howth Cliff Walk You don't have to drive to the other side of Ireland to see cliffs! They're right here in Dublin. Howth is a fishing village with a gorgeous cliff walk & scenery that'll make you forget you're in a
