Terrific Tour!
Look no further, David is a magnificent guide, We were a group of four -two with walking difficulties. We walked the City while David spoke of the history of the City and Country. He was knowledgeable and fascinating. The time flew by and we learned so much. David was very kind to our slow pace. We felt we made a good friend. He also provided recommendations for restaurants and other sights to explore. I highly recommend David.

The Singing Local Guide!
We had a great tour with David who showed us the best of Dublin but not least exhibited energy and charm and strong commitment to the Irish history. We got a deep understanding of the history of the people and the hardships they had to endure, famine, war, uprising etc. At the same time, we shared happy moments and good laughs. One highlight being David’s singing of “The Green Fields of France” in the middle of a busy street.

Highly informative and fun!
I had an amazing experience with David. He really knows his stuff. I asked for a more feminist history of the town and he showed me some spots that were catered to my interests. We explored a few touristy areas, but David had many stories of specific locations that the average guide probably would not have bought up. David seemed genuinely concerned about making all aspects of my stay in Dublin as safe, comfortable and meaningful as possible.

Amazing Day in Dublin!
My husband and I had an AMAZING day in Dublin with David. Neither of us had been before, so we booked a tour with David the day we arrived to get ‘the lay of the land.’ We could not have chosen a better tour guide! I don’t want to give too much away because David is full of surprises, but just know that a day with David is a day of fun, adventure, laughter and lots of sharing stories and history with you about his beloved city! David is one of Dublin’s treasures!

Amazing Experience!
David is the wikipedia of all things Ireland and Dublin. He knows history, politics, music, traditions, food…. there is nothing he doesn’t know about this fine city. We had the best time and felt like we really understood so much about the culture by the end of our visit. I would highly recommend!

All The Dublin Highlights!
David was a great tour guide, showing us all the Dublin highlights. He was very knowledgeable about Irish history and made sure that he took us to all of the important historical sites. We asked so many questions but he was happy to answer them and give special insights. Would totally recommend booking David for Dublin tour!

Tour With David Was Wonderful!
Our tour with David was wonderful! He is a wealth of knowledge about all things Dublin. David is really personable and kept us engaged and entertained with the history of the city and stories of locals who helped shape that history. He spent extra time with us and also went out of his way to send us restaurant and museum recommendations after the tour. I highly recommend booking a tour with David!

I highly recommend David as a guide. We had an awesome tour. His extensive knowledge of the history of Dublin was amazing and we loved his easy going nature, his sense of humour and his passion for the job and the city. We got loads of recommendations and definitely a fun afternoon!

Best Tour Ever!
We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have had Dave as our guide for our recent tour of Dublin. He was a wealth of knowledge of the local landmarks of the city, but even more impressive was his range of information of history and his talent for bringing that history to life. He sprinkled our tour with many stories about the brave individuals who shaped Dublin’s past. All of us were moved by his passion and connection. He spent so much extra time with us, and after the tour he emailed many recommendations for local restaurants and sites. We have taken many tours throughout Europe and this was, by far, the best we’ve ever had.

Highly Informative & Entertaining!!
David was an excellent tour guide. He was so knowledgeable about the history of Dublin he could write a book. He was highly entertaining and even sang a song about the infamous Molly Malone. You will certainly enjoy your tour with David, we did, so book now!!

Entertaining Guide – Highly Recommended!
We booked David for a mixed group of adults and teenagers. It was the perfect decision because the friendly David was worth every cent. He combined detailed, interesting facts with funny stories and not only gave us a great overview of the sights in Dublin, but also lots of insider tips. The fact that David is a trained actor made listening very enjoyable and we were amazed by his wit and charm. He answered our questions willingly and entertainingly, always catered to our interests and even gave us bonus time. Although not everyone in the group spoke English well, we understood David very well because of his accented language. We can recommend the charismatic David in every respect and will definitely book him again next time we visit Ireland. Thank you for the wonderful and unforgettable city tour!

Fantastic!
Our Kickstart tour of Dublin with David was fantastic! He is so enthusiastic and has such a great knowledge of Dublin and Irish history. I would highly recommend David as a tour guide while visiting Dublin. We booked him for our first day in Dublin. I was concerned that we would be tired during our tour, but David kept us entertained with his cheerful personality and his passion for Dublin. We learned so much about Dublin during our tour, and of course David spent more than our allotted time with us. You will not be disappointed if you book with David! You will be delighted by his charm, and enjoy his rendition of an old Irish ballad!

Excellent Historian & Storyteller!
David is passionate about Dublin. He knows her history and geography like no one. He also knows wonderful stories about Dublin that few others would likely know. He is energetic and thoughtful and takes the time to really explain the topic at hand. Highly recommended.

Best Tour I’ve Ever Been On!
I have had the opportunity to take numerous private tours and all of the tour guides were great, but David stood out as the best. My 14 year old son and I had a wonderful time wandering around Dublin with him. David was knowledgeable, professional, engaging, and entertaining. He offered the knowledge and expertise of a local historian along with the experience of being a life-long resident of Ireland. He did this all while delivering the tour like a friend who was proud to show off their city. I highly recommend anyone traveling to Dublin to take a tour with David.

Thank You David!
David you absolutely made our Dublin trip… well, you and several pints of Guinness! Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge of your beautiful city with us on our walking tour of Dublin. We had so much fun learning about the history of Ireland through your witty and entertaining stories. For anyone traveling to Dublin for your first time, David’s walking tour is a ‘must-do’. The 3+ hour tour gave us a great intro to the city of Dublin and time to see many of its historic sites including Dublin Castle, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Christ Church Cathedral, Trinity College, Temple Bar and so much more. The weather looked threatening the morning of our tour so David brought umbrellas for the 3 of us (which thankfully we didn’t need to use). The absolute best part of the tour however was David’s ‘Molly Malone’ serenade at the statue that bears her name. Thank you David… we will never forget our day in Dublin with you!
